Edinburgh Zoo is set in 82 acres of sloping parkland and is situated three miles to the west of Edinburgh city centre. It is home to over 1,000 rare and endangered animals, including chimpanzees, Indian Rhinos, and the UK's only Queensland koalas. Why not visit the world’s only Knighted penguin, Sir Nils Olav? Or watch a Sumatran tiger walk right over your head in Tiger Tracks, our amazing glass viewing tunnel? With seasonal events, keeper talks, and hands-on animal encounters; there’s something for everyone!
Come rain or shine, the zoo offers a variety of dining options and plenty of play areas to keep the whole family entertained. Wrap up your day with a trip to our fabulous gift shop, where you'll discover a menagerie of wild animal-themed goodies.
Through our extensive conservation programmes, visitors can embark on an adventure-packed day out while becoming wildlife champions and making a real difference in creating a world where nature is protected, valued and loved.
