A STUDY has ranked Colchester Zoo as one of the UK’s best family-friendly  outdoor activities.

With half term coming up, and future school breaks on the horizon, parents can often be looking for places to go.

With this in mind, mother and baby retailer JoJo Maman Bébé has conducted a new study to reveal the UK’s top family friendly activities, highlighting outdoor and indoor activities so parents can plan for all weather eventualities.

The attractions were ranked using Google Maps, analysing lists from 50 of the most populated cities in the UK.

From this, a weighted rank was created using the venue’s star rating, the number of reviews and its suitability for families – creating an overall outdoor or indoor score.

In the list of the top ten outdoor activities for dry days, Colchester Zoo ranked ninth.

It had an average rating of 4.7 based on 19,137 reviews, giving it an outdoor activity score of 92.2

Number one on the list was Holyrood Park in Edinburgh.

The Immersive Gamebox in Manchester topped the list of the top ten indoor activities for rainy weather.
