The Natural History Museum has attracted more visitors thanks to special exhibitions such as Our Story with David Attenborough.

The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions (ALVA) has released the visitor figures of its members for 2025 which has coincided with English Tourism Week and Scottish Tourism Month.

The total number of visits to 409 ALVA sites in 2025 was 165 million, which was a 2% increase on the previous year but still represented a decline of 7% on the 170 million visits in 2019 to the top ALVA sites.

Mixed sites that are a combination of both indoor and outdoor elements saw the biggest increase of 2.5% in visitors compared to a 2% increase in outdoor attractions. 

What was the most visited attraction in the UK?

The most-visited attraction in the UK for the first time was the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London which posted a 13% increase in visitors to 7,116,929, which is an all-time record for any UK museum or gallery.

Natural History Museum director Dr Doug Gurr said: “We are thrilled to be the UK’s most popular visitor attraction, smashing all previous records for the sector! These exceptional results reflect our unwavering focus on delivering a fantastic day out for every visitor, as well as the dedication of our colleagues who work tirelessly to create unforgettable experiences and world-class exhibitions.

“We should all take heart from these figures. Welcoming 7.1 million visitors demonstrates the enormous public appetite to engage with the wonders of the natural world and UK cultural attractions. That’s why we are committed to creating more space to welcome visitors through our NHM150 campaign - opening a brand-new or revitalised permanent gallery every year until our 150th anniversary in 2031.”

The most visited attraction in England after Windsor Great Park was Windsor Castle.

Bernard Donoghue OBE, Director of ALVA, said: “Visitor attractions are the places that people prize most and provide the experiences that people, even in a cost-of-living crisis, are most loathe to give up. Our visitors want to spend special time, with special people in special places.

“In a time of unpredictable futures, uncertain economics, global insecurities, economic challenges, and an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the UK public are more tactical than ever in deciding how they spend their leisure pounds and their leisure hours. Their expectations of a great visit are higher now than they have ever been. The day trip to an attraction now competes within the family budget with free things to do, as well as subscriptions to streaming channels. The competition has never been greater, the choice never so broad.”

The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions’ members are some of the UK’s most popular, iconic and important museums, galleries, palaces, castles, cathedrals, zoos, historic houses, heritage sites, gardens and leisure attractions.
