Edinburgh Zoo Reviews

Last week, my sister asked if we would like to go to Edinburgh Zoo as a birthday treat for my niece (who turned 7 at the weekend). She was desperate to see the monkeys as she is obsessed with them so yesterday, my sister and I, her three children (10, 7 and 4) and my son (4) headed off to the Zoo. This was my third visit to Edinburgh Zoo ...  Read the complete review

When my mum and I planned our trip to Edinburgh, we had a list of things we wanted to do. Edinburgh Zoo was not on that list. However, as I found myself getting up quite early and going out for a wander on my own once we were in Edinburgh, it occurred to me that instead of just having a walk, I could actually go somewhere specific for ...  Read the complete review

OK, so first of all I ought to put this review in context. My wife and I are Platinum card holders at Colchester Zoo which I think is probably the best zoo in UK. Why, may you think did you even bother with Edinburgh then? Well, Pandas for one and because as a platinum card holder of Colchester we get to go to ...  Read the complete review

The weather was cold and dull on the day that me and my partner in crime decided to go to the zoo!! I have really enjoyed going to zoos in the past so I got my wellies on determined that the rubbish weather wasn't going to spoil our day. It was easy enough to find a car parking space and we walked straight up to a counter so there were ...  Read the complete review

I'll be talking about my favourite parts and bits that I wasn't too keen on, if you want a list of animals then it is easily accessed on the Edinburgh Zoo website - www.edinburghzoo.org.uk * My boyfriend and I have ...  Read the complete review

I want to go to the zoo my daughter kept asking me so I booked up to go to Edinburgh zoo for my birthday as my daughter wanted to go. It was quite expensive at £13.95 and a child aged 3-15 £9.90.This is cheaper than alot of zoos such as blackpool so its not really that expensive plus when money goes towards animals welfare im never ...  Read the complete review

Now i love all animals from the every small like my pet cockroaches to the very large like a sperm whale but when i first went to Edinburgh zoo when i was only 6 years old it wasn't the cheerful experience it should have been. Every 6 or so years since i have gone with my partner and it the care the animals get has steadily gotten worse ...  Read the complete review

I recently visited Edinburgh Zoo with my other half and our little boy for his second birthday. I hadn't been to the zoo for about 10 years at least and so it was a shock to see just how much it had changed. Everything is uphill even going into the car park. The charge for parking is £3.50 whether you are there an ...  Read the complete review

Edinburgh zoo is open every day of the year roughly till about 5 or 6 oclock depending on the season, but the last entry is often an hour before this. Overall the zoo is a great day out. Sometimes the animals are hard to see and you may get the impression that there are many empty cages. One part you won't be disappointed with is the ...  Read the complete review

Back in July my partner and I took a trip to Edinburgh for a concert, it was the middle of summer yet it rained constantly almost putting a dampner on the whole weekend yet we tried to keep our spirits up with a trip to the zoo. I had read about the zoo long before our little holiday and on hearing that penguins were present, ...  Read the complete review

DON'T HAVE A CHILDRENS PARTY AT EDINBURGH ZOO.It is very expensive £15 per child and total hassle for the parents. Nowhere to leave presents, no help taking children round the zoo, not advised that the restaurant we had booked with the soft play was closed, ended up very squished in busy cafe. No party bags - just a few toys stuck in the picnic box. Total shambles.

We recently went on a long weekend away to Edinburgh, and we each chose an activity while we were up there that the other couldn't say no to. I chose the Edinburgh Dungeon, my fiancee chose the zoo. The zoo is easy to reach by public transport, there are a number of buses which leave from Princess Street and George Street, ...  Read the complete review

Edinburgh Zoo is one of the places where I first took my wife following her move upto Scotland as she always used to love going to her local zoo where she lived near Birmingham and we have been back a few times...so why go in the first place? Edinburgh Zoo is well located and fairly centralised in the city with buses easy to ...  Read the complete review

I have always had a soft spot for animals and as a child used to like going to zoos. I know these aren't everyone's cup of tea and I can see partly where they are coming from with regards to enclosures etc, however a lot of animals that are in zoos are animals that have been rescued and would not survive in the wild. Many zoos now have ...  Read the complete review

Ediburgh Zoo has become a special treat for me and my goddaughter, whenever I visit her. The cost of entry is reasonable - £12.50 for an adult. £10.50 for a concession, £8.50 for a child and unders 3's are free. The Zoo also takes two for one vouchers and free child with each paying adult. There are also options of discounted ...  Read the complete review

Edinbuirgh Zoo is the only zoo existing in Scotland (although there are a few safari parks about now) It is home to the only polar bear in Scotland and its main attraction (in my opinion) are the penguins, who do a march of the grassy area everyday. There are many different animals to view at the parks, but I wouldn't recommend it for ...  Read the complete review

On 24th April 2009 I was supposed to be walking on fire at Edinburgh zoo. Unfortunately with less than a week until the event it was postponed until October due to low numbers. ---So why was I going to do a firewalk anyway?--- Although I'm not a member of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) I do ...  Read the complete review

Our latest trip during this Easter break was to Edinburgh Zoo. My daughter has been here before, firstly with school about four years ago, and secondly with just her dad a few months before he died. The last time I was at the zoo was when I was younger than my daughter is now, on a school trip, which is pathetic really considering I ...  Read the complete review

** Arriving at the Zoo ** Living just across the water and a mere 20 minute drive away, Edinburgh Zoo is a regular family day out for us. If you are driving to the zoo, I have to forewarn you that there is a charge of £3.50 to park your car here (unless you are a member of the zoo in which case it's free) and you ...  Read the complete review
