Tripadvisor has announced the 2020 Travelers’ Choice Awards. The company has unveiled the top 25 theme parks in the world, with Magic Kingdom Park claiming the top spot from Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Each year, Tripadvisor compiles the reviews, ratings and saves that travellers share from across the globe, using that information to select the very best hotels, attractions and destinations.

The awards are handed out to hotels, popular destinations, trending destinations, emerging destinations, beaches, attractions, restaurants, airlines and experiences.

Here, we’ll be looking specifically at the top attractions, also known as theme parks. These include Puy du Fou, Tivoli Gardens, Dollywood and Europa-Park.
