Edinburgh Zoo

Set on the leafy slopes of Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh Zoo is one of Scotland’s best-loved attractions. Home to over 2,500 animals and a world-leading conservation team, the 82-acre site combines stunning views with a full day’s adventure for all ages.

You’ll find giant pandas, penguins, tigers, and koalas — plus daily talks, indoor play areas, and seasonal highlights like the Giant Lanterns winter trail. The zoo is operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and plays a major role in global breeding and wildlife protection programs.

Easily reached by bus or car from the city centre, Edinburgh Zoo remains one of the capital’s must-visit family attractions.
