Swedish Zoos

[ANyhuis]

I'd like to read your professional opinion on the UK zoos you visited (unless, of course, you're keeping it quiet until a book may be published)

I answered this question for CZJimmy in a PM to him, as I didn't want to take this thread offtopic any further.

No - Gotland Zoo closed down in 2006 and animals were sold to a number of other zoos in Sweden.

If anyone can help me, I'm putting together a database with statistics of some of the world's top zoos. Essentially, I need the annual attendance figures for the following Swedish zoos:

Boras Djurpark, Kolmardens Djur & Naturpark

Can anyone help me? Is there a good internet source where these can be looked up?

From Kolmardens web site:

Kolmården: Annual visitors circa 500 000
Source: Om Kolmårdens Djurpark - Kolmården - känns i hela kroppen!

Borås:
I can´t find the information. Not mentioned at the web site, from what I can see. I think I have read or heard that the number might be around 400 000 but then again it might just be my imagination.....

However, the number will definitely be smaller than Kolmården´s.

Thanks again, Dan!

Kolmarden Zoo has 600 000 visitors, and Borås Zoo cirka 250 000- 300 000
