    My partner and I were only in Edinburgh for a short few days and the zoo was the first thing that we did in googling tickets to the zoo had it was so simple and we had tickets exactly for the time we wanted on our phones within minutes, they were cheaper than if you were to buy them in person and we spent all day at the zoo and had a ball

    This was a wonderful day out, the rockhopper penguins were sat right in front of us the whole time and a lovely volunteer had a super interesting chat with us while a group of three king penguins waddled over to wave at us. We were really happy to see all the animals had lots of room and many seemed to enjoy the attention and would approach us. Just a wonderful experience, highly recommend!

    The interactions with the actors was definitely the most entertaining part. You could never expect who they would talk to and they made sure everyone felt included.
