Edinburgh Zoo
Penguins on Parade
Back to Edinburgh Zoo
Excellent for a whole day out.My 11 year old loves it and insists on going to all the talks and animal handling sessions which are so well run and fun. We try to go 2-3 times a year and can't wait for the new chimp area to open.

My husband and I visited the zoo in March 2006. We loved it. It is much bigger than it seems from the road, so don't be fooled. There is a great variety of animals and the exhibits are beautiful. The penguin exhibit is amazing; definitely a must see. The setting is absolutely beautiful. There are several indoor exhibits if it starts to rain. The gift shop is very nice as well. The zoo is a great way to spend a nice afternoon in Edinburgh.

Our group comprised of: two 37 year old adults, a thirteen year old, a nine year old and five year old twins. We were on holiday in Eyemouth. It is not very well sigh posted and it seemed really strange, driving through Edinburgh to find a zoo, we did think we'd gone the wrong way! Our trip around the zoo was brilliant, it is a (big) bit of a hike going up the hill, one of our party needs to use a wheelchair, it was a begger to push, fortunately she is only five and there were two adults to take it in turns to push! The children (and adults) were all enthraled with the animals. In all a fantastic day out.

the zoo was brilliant and all the staff were very friendly but the one thing that i am going to complain about is the way it is sign posted i came all the way from berwick and all the way to the zoo i seen 2 sign posts telling you where it was. i asked many people for directions, and after 2 hours i finally found the zoo. i am not happy, i suggest that you get some more sign posts up telling people where the zoo is.

Surprising size - much bigger than it appears from the road. Love the fact they participate in conservation and only keep animals which they can look after properly. Staff are very friendly, helpful and informative. Already planning the next visit and considering membership!!
