Edit: it makes me feel a little better about myself to see that the 10-24 zoo range is the majority in the poll :p
 
I have visited the following parks:
België:
- Zoo Antwerpen (my favorite)
- Planckendael
- Pairi Daiza
- Serpentarium Blankenberge (already closed:()

Had a lovely week up in Scotland last week so in addition to 3 I had already been to before I can add 2 new visits on to my list...Highland Wildlife Park and Blair Drummond Safari.
 
Just back from a trip to Germany that put my total (by my current personal and often arbitrary opinions of what counts and doesn't!) to 403.

Zoo #400 did not manage to be a particularly grand one..! (Tierpark Wolgast..!)

Did you encounter any Covid related difficulties with zoo visiting or public transport during your visit?

Nothing significant at all (though we had a hire car, so the only public transport involved was the plane and a taxi on one day for logistical/alcohol reasons :D ).

We had to have a specific type of face mask in Germany (not the case in the UK) but otherwise it was just a case of jumping through the hoops for the border crossings and carrying your proof of vaccination - as restaurants, hotels and even some of the zoos would want to see it - plus installing the Luca app used for venue checkins as some places (including Hagenbeck) were very keen on this. No-one anywhere we went showed the slightest hesitation in accepting UK vaccination documents.

None of the zoos we went to in Germany were operating compulsory pre-booking - though we got into Rostock and Ozeaneum Stralsund as part of the Zoohistorica event, so I'm not certain if they would have needed this otherwise. We did pre-book Schwerin in the end (for no particular reason beyond a slight financial saving and it being the last zoo of the trip so not wanting any issues) but we just turned up at the gate at Hagenbeck, Walsrode (two days running - they offer a 2-day ticket), Vogelpark Marlow, Zoo Stralsund, Tierparks Greifswald, Wolgast and Ueckermünde, and Wildpark-MV in Güstrow.
