Edinburgh zoo is one of my all time favourite attractions albeit a little out of the way (their website gives a list of buses and if you ask nicely the bus driver will give you a shout when you get there!). After moving to Scotland two and a half years ago I have probably been to the zoo ten times and will be going again (TOMORROW)! After the ...

Have you ever looked a Jaguar in the eyes? Heard the thundering roar of a lion? Or been arms length away from a mighty Polar Bear? Edinburgh Zoo gives you the chance to do all that and more. Opened in 1913, Edinburgh zoo is one of Europe’s leading zoos in conservation and their mission is: ‘To inspire and excite our visitors with the ...

Having been a visitor to the zoo since I was a child I have seen it change quite dramatically, but one thing has stayed the same throughout the years and that is the fact that kids just love it. There is much more to the zoo than the obvious attraction of the variety of animals to view and if you are lucky enough to get good weather then the views ...

You can very rarely go wrong with a day out to the Zoo and Edinburgh zoo is no acception. As the largest Animal park in Scotland (82acres), the Edinburgh Zoo is committed to high standards of animal welfare and conservationand envirnmental education.

Before we get started, here is a quick question for you: When you think of visitor attractions in Edinburgh, what springs to mind? My first response to that was the castle, followed by the Royal Mile, Holyrood House and the National Museum of Scotland. The shopping is pretty good, too. So it came as a bit of surprise to me to ...

On the 22nd of July 1913 Edinburgh Zoo was opened to the public for the very first time. As you can well imagine things have changed very much from these early days. The Zoo is owned by The Royal zoological Society of Scotland who purchased the site on which the Zoo stands for £17,000. It was not until much later in the late forties that the ...

Edinburgh Zoo is situated in West Edinburgh, on Corstorphine Road. It is easily accessible as you pass it on the way from the Airport on your way to the town centre and if you are in the town centre you can get a bus directly there! The buses which would take you there from Princes Street in the centre of the city are 12, 26, 31 which are lothian ...

I don't like the idea of zoos one little bit. But I have to say I was tempted at the thought of being one of the first to see my two-year-old nephew's reaction to seeing a tiger in the flesh for the first time. Ok, so his favourite things in the zoo were the big ladder, the safari bus, the chute, and a bridge. When we did get to the gift ...

If you are looking for somewhere to go during the holidays, I can highly recommend visit to Edinburgh Zoo it really is a great day out for all the family. It is situated 3 miles to the west of Edinburgh on the A8 and if you are travelling by car it is well sign posted or by bus from the city centre more than a dozen different buses stop ...

Edinburgh Zoo makes a fantastic day out for the whole family. Prices are reasonable, especially considering that this is the sort of place you will probably want to spend all day at! It costs £7 for an adult, and £4 for a child, plus an extra two pounds for car parking. There are also family tickets available. Make sure you don’t miss the ...

I used to live near Edinburgh and have visited the Zoo three or four times. I now live in Southampton and on my last visit I decided to take my neice & nephew to Edinburgh Zoo. It was very dissapointing. There were hardly any animals. The sea lion pool was disgusting and most of the animal enclosures were over grown or empty. The facilities for ...

Edinburgh Zoo is situated on the west side of the city, easily accessible by bus from the town centre, or straight from the motorway from Glasgow. It’s not at all well sign-posted but the main entrance is hard to miss, set as it is in a large attractive looking building up some steps from the main road. This is easily the biggest Zoo in ...

I'm here at least once every 2 months because I use it as a valuable resource for my textile research at college (not that I'm skinning the animals and taking them back to my studio!). I am given the chance to see some magnificent creatures in very close proximity and this is very important to me as I take a lot of my inspiration from the ...
