Knowsley recently acquired a pair of Spectacled Bears. They'll be on show in the spring.
I will kick off with a few suggestions of zoos that don't have bears but could, or have bears but could have more without suggesting species yet:

No Bears- could have them

Twycross
London
Blackpool
Howletts
Linton
Paignton
Banham
Wild Place
Any Safari Park ( Woburn excepted)
Cotswold WP
New Forest WP
Marwell




Hold at least one bear species, could hold more:
Whipsnade
Port Lympne
Chester
Yorkshire Wildlife Park
Woburn
Dudley ( bear ravine)
Welsh Mountain
Colchester?
(Beale Park) plenty of space but won't happen!
