Edinburgh Zoo Entrance Tickets

We had a fab time at Edinburgh zoo! When we first got through the entrance the first animal we saw was the Red Panda, and a helpful staff member told us all about him, his personality and his friend (who was off on an adventure to hopefully have a baby!). This carried on into the rest of the trip as we had several very helpful and friendly staff members come over and talk to us about the animals or exhibits we were looking at, which was really nice to see and very appreciated! The penguins were really fun, there's windows around the back of their area and if you wander down there, the ones swimming enjoy interacting with you - we stayed there for about 20 minutes playing hide and seek between the windows with one curious little penguin. We had lunch in the Grasslands restaurant and while the app to order was running a little slow (could have been my phone too!), a server saw and came over to take our order instead, she was also very lovely and helpful. The prices at the restaurant were very fair and also included a free child's meal with 2 adults - bonus! The food was also gorgeous and there's a decent range including vegetarian options. There's so many animals to see, you'll burn off a fair few calories getting round them all but you can easily spend several hours here. A really fun, very insightful and very fairly priced day out!

We had such a wonderful day at Edinburgh Zoo! 🐧🦁 My son absolutely loves animals, so this was one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland. There is so much to see, the grounds are beautiful, and we really enjoyed taking our time exploring together. The staff were friendly and the whole experience was very well organised. Definitely worth visiting, especially with children. A lovely day and some very special memories for us. ❤️

The zoo is a wonderful outing for anyone, kids or otherwise. There is a lot of uphill and downhill walking so factor that in. The app is very helpful in navigating the huge space and the playgrounds were incredible. There are also some food and beverage options to satisfy. Though the entry line was long, they processed it fast! Book tickets online to make that even faster.

All 5 of us (3 adults, 2 children) had an amazing day at the Zoo. I thought it was very well laid out and the animals all seemed to be well looked after. The penguins and the capybaras were wonderful, and we spent a while watching them. Fabulous day out. We will be back.

Having booked the tickets made entry to the zoo quicker and cheaper. The highlight was seeing the recenly born baby animals, like the capybara and sloth. I also saw the armadillo for the first time.

Very easy entry, no long queues, staff are fantastic with the children. Buying tickets through Headout ( first time Iv used them) saved us sone money too so that's always a plus
