Edinburgh Zoo Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Edinburgh Zoo was built in 1912. It is the only zoo in the UK that raises Chinese giant pandas and Australian koalas. It is also the world's first artificial incubation base for emperor penguins. Walking in the zoo also has the opportunity to see the staff take emperor penguins for a walk in the park. If you travel with children, Edinburgh Zoo will be a good place for children to learn and play.

Edinburgh Zoo is a large local safari park where thousands of animals from all over the world are raised and live. The most famous is the silverback gorilla, who is so arrogant and powerful that many visitors come to see.
Entering the zoo, you can use high-tech again. The UK checks the tickets and so on are usually scanned, so after booking online, you only need to scan the confirmed QR code for the staff. It is very good. There are pandas.
It was a short vacation to Edinburgh and we visited Edinburgh zoo, definitely worth to visit 😍
Edinburgh castle is a beautiful stunning place to go would recommend it
Definitely worth a visit for family travellers, but make sure to take a whole day to explore it all. The zoo is on a hill, and like the rest of Edinburgh you’ll probably find yourself walking uphill for most of your visit. If it’s a particularly sunny day then be sure to pack lots of water. The Penguin Parade is a great chance to see one up close, but my personal favourites are the Spider Monkeys!
Good place to spend the day with kids or for you big kids! Everyday the penguins go on parade - they love it and it's funny to watch! Wear sensible shoes, you need walk alot! A well kept zoo with lots to see.
