Absolutely loved the zoo. It was nice and quiet when we visited, which made it easy to get to see the animals without having to fight through crowds. The volunteers which we encountered throughout our visit were lovely, and it was great having someone to give us information about the animals. I absolutely adored the giraffes and the chimps. I could have spent all day between the two. The amenities were fantastic, easy to find and lovely and clean. The gift shop was brilliant. I'm Glad I went without children, or it would have cost me a fortune lol. I would absolutely visit the zoo again in the future. In fact one of your lovely volunteers told us that she has a membership that grants access to several other zoos too. Something which we are considering for the coming year.

I loved my visit to Edinburgh Zoo. The day was full of memorable highlights, especially seeing the animals in such spacious and thoughtfully designed habitats. The penguins were a real standout for me – watching them during feeding time was both fun and heart-warming, and their playful behaviour made the experience unforgettable. I also appreciated how calm and scenic the zoo felt as I walked around. The setting, combined with the clear efforts made for animal care, made the visit feel genuinely meaningful. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and their passion for the animals and conservation added a special touch to the whole experience. Overall, the visit was enjoyable, educational, and truly memorable.

The staff were very welcoming and the zoo was well kept alot of wonderful animals to see. Mostly I loved the penguins and the giraffes so adorable. We spent nearly 3 hours walking around and also the dinosaurs were wow so huge 😆. The only thing that I was abit disappointed about was the koalas as we went to see them and the window was dirty couldnt see through 😣

My visit to the Edinburgh Dungeon was an unforgettable and thrilling experience. From the moment I entered, I felt completely immersed in the dark and dramatic history of Scotland. The atmosphere was intense, with realistic sets, special effects, and incredibly talented actors who made every story come alive. Each room told a different creepy story, from plague outbreaks to famous criminals and witch trials. Some moments were genuinely frightening, while others were surprisingly funny, which made the whole experience exciting and well-balanced. The actors interacted with the audience, which made everything feel very real and personal. One of the highlights for me was the quick ride at the end – it added a final burst of adrenaline and was a perfect way to finish the tour. The organisation was excellent, and everything was well-timed and professional. Overall, the Edinburgh Dungeon is a fantastic attraction for anyone who enjoys history with a scary twist. I would definitely recommend it to visitors looking for something exciting and different in Edinburgh.
