Visitor numbers often surface for larger zoos, but what about the smaller ones? Exmoor Zoo's website states that they have around 40000 visitors annually. Does anyone have any insight to other collections?
 
This says Tropical World (Leeds) got 390,000 visitors, and also gives mention to Lotherton Hall and Harewood House, but no figures:

Whereas this say Tropical World gets over a million visitors yearly (I wouldn't be surprised if it was true, as on weekends it is packed and has a massive queue to get in), but it does say the crocodiles (which arrived a few years back) are new :rolleyes::

I would be surprised if Tropical World got an attendance of 1 million. Roundhay Park may well do so.
 
International Zoo Yearbook publishes attendnace figures.

The latest ones I have relate to 2009. I did a highly scientific analysis (if I think it is a small zoo it's on the list, if I think it's a big zoo it's not on the list), so here it is. visitor numbers vary considerably between collections.
