Are there any council owned or council run zoos left in the UK, or privately run zoos operating on council owned land?
Brent lodge zoo, Ealing. I believe Belfast is still council owned. There are a few other small zoos around.
Lotherton Hall, Tropical World and Pudsey Park (although I'm not sure how extensive their captive collection is) are all run/ owned by Leeds council. The Animal Education Centre and various aviaries in parks in Hull are also council run.
Yes it definitely is run by Crawley Council. At £3 entrance, possibly the best value zoo in the Uk, though Birmingham Nature Centre might also deserve consideration .
