Booking our Edinburgh Zoo tickets through Headout was quick and hassle-free. The e-tickets arrived instantly by email, and when i arrived at the zoo, the entry was smooth and I just needed to scan the tickets. The zoo itself was the highlight of the day. Seeing the flamingos, penguins and the rhino up close was a real treat, and the hillside walk gave us lovely views across Edinburgh. The paths were easy to follow using the map on the app and the staff were friendly and helpful giving us fun facts and infomation regarding the animals. It's really cute how some of the animals were named after the staff memeber's children names. I also now know that the rhino was 4 years ago and enjoys his warm water bath pool. Overall, I had a relaxing and memorable weekend with my partner and I'd happily book with Headout again.

What a fantastic and fun-filled day we had at Edinburgh Zoo! 🦁🐯🦒🐧 From the moment we arrived, there was so much to see and explore. We enjoyed walking around the zoo, discovering different animals from all around the world, and watching them in their habitats. It was wonderful to see the animals up close and learn more about them, their behaviours, and how they are cared for. Some of the animals were especially entertaining and definitely gave us plenty of laughs! 🐒😂 The beautiful surroundings, exciting exhibits, and lovely atmosphere made the whole day even more enjoyable. We spent the day making memories, taking lots of photos, enjoying some delicious treats, and simply having a great time together. There were plenty of happy moments, laughter, and unforgettable experiences along the way. 📸❤️ A visit to Edinburgh Zoo is definitely a great way to spend the day, and we are so glad we had the opportunity to enjoy it. It was a day full of fun, adventure, learning, and wonderful memories that we will treasure for a long time. 🐾✨ Thank you, Edinburgh Zoo, for such a brilliant day! We can’t wait for our next adventure! 🦓🦘🐘🌿

Amazing experience!! Absolutely loved every second of day out. From finally being able to see koala bears in person (my all time favourite animal) to seeing atty the baby sloth, this was hands down the best day ever. I spent 4 hours here and even then I felt I could have spent so much more time

So quick, walked straight in by just showing the tickets on my phone. The experience was wonderful at Edinburgh Zoo. Saw the underneath of a Sumatran Tiger when she walked over a glass roof and that was something I thought I'd never see. Lots of animal babies too. It was an amazing day!
