Edinburgh Zoo

Famous for its giants and penguins! Edinburgh Zoo is home to over 1,000 rare and endangered animals, and it plays a huge role in global conservation efforts.

While the pandas have moved on, you can still see countless other amazing creatures, including the brilliant penguin parade! It’s built on a hill, so wear comfy shoes, and plan to spend the whole day exploring the various habitats and displays. The zoo is a fantastic family-friendly day out and a great way to support important conservation work while having fun. Tip: Book your tickets online in advance to save money and get straight into the action!
