    There's Beavers at Paradise Wildlife Park, Edinburgh Zoo, Highland Wildlife Park and Beaver Water World (Kent). The very best of luck for seeing any though -I've only seen them once, at Flamingo Park, Isle Of Wight (now no longer keep them), out of about ten attempts.

    Wildwood in Kent also houses beavers. But I also agree that you shouldn't get your hopes up that you'd definately see them when you visit these places.
