We had a wonderful day at Edinburgh Zoo for my grandson’s very first visit to the city. At just two years old, it was all so new and exciting for him — from watching the penguins to exploring the different animals, everything captured his attention. The zoo is well laid out, with lots to see and plenty of space for little ones to run around safely. For me, it was special to see Edinburgh through his eyes, and the zoo made a perfect introduction. Staff were friendly, the enclosures looked well cared for, and there was a real sense of fun and learning throughout. It’s a place I’d happily recommend to families — especially those with young children. We’ll definitely be back as he grows older to experience even more of what the zoo has to offer.

When we arrived at the zoo we were immediately impressed with the friendliness of the staff. The young lady then organised mobility scooters for us, talked us through the safety use of the scooter, they are so easy to use and made it a most enjoyable day, we could not have seen all the animals without the use of scooters. We found ALL staff members very helpful and friendly, stopped at the Penguin cafe for lunch which was very good. We did enjoy watching the penguins and a very helpful member of staff explained the different penguins they have. I would recommend a day at the zoo to everybody.

Truthfully ever part of our visit was amazing from the staff to the actors to the rooms made for the experience. The staff was funny and helpful for every step of the way. The experience was immersive and the rooms were so well done! Some of the effects i never encountered before and it was so fun never knowing what to fully expect. The actors were amazing and never broke character! It was fun and spooky and definitely worth checking out! The sets and people there are amazing!!!

Absolutely fantastic day out at Edinburgh Zoo! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the animals looked well cared for, and there was so much to see and learn. We especially loved the penguin parade – such a unique experience! The zoo is clean, family-friendly, and full of beautiful views across Edinburgh. A perfect mix of fun and education for all ages. Can’t wait to visit again soon! 🐧🦁🌿

I had visited before but it was my daughter's first visit and she was picked as Sweaty Betty - she thoroughly enjoyed this and the Judge was particularly excellent in her role. We had a really enjoyable visit, with staff engagement making us laugh and scream in equal measure. I would certainly return to the Edinburgh Dungeons.

Zoo is really good, very well maintained. I loved the way maps are being created, how animals were cared. My kid has enjoyed like anything. Thanks for the good time we had in zoo. And the customizing gift options were amazing. We printed a bottle for our memory

I have a large family(9 children 3-16yrs) the zoo tickets were expensive for 8 out of 9 children and 2 adults. We expected to see more animals, however seems to be less than most farm parks in Scotland. Wee beasties was a big let down a handful of frogs, beetles, a tarantula and a snake. Most wee beastie school visits have 3 times the amount of critters. The essence of a traditional zoo has been lost here. The penguins were the only real highlight the children enjoyed. The gift shop was also expensive. All in with a lunch at gannets this trip from dumfries (2hours) walk round in 2hours has cost just short of £500!! It was cheaper for our family and a better experience to goto a certain safari park in wiltshire with a campsite stayover!

Very nice family experience! Super recommended, we come from Central America and it was very nice to see so many animals. We are the Cruz Rivas family and we are delighted, everything was very tidy and the staff very friendly, we hope to return soon.
