Perfectly located in a nice residential area, close to the Dean village. Perfectly close to the old town with 15-20 min walk to reach it and perfectly far to relax in the quiet room. Staff is very professional and helpful, clean rooms, comfortable bed and fantastic breakfast. Our weekend in Edinburgh will truly be one of the best trips so far.

Come and visit Edinburgh zoo ..friendly helpful staff..so much to see and animals that are definitely well cared for ...you can see the animals getting fed and ask questions about the breeding program that they have in place ....My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely come again....

This is a brilliant zoo, there are so many animals to see and the parking is only £4 unlike some other zoos. There are plenty of cafes and good trucks fitted around the zoo but they are very expensive. The zoo is also all uphill and some points are quite steep. Some of the "accessible" ramps are very steep. You can rent wheelchairs and mobility scooters as you enter, but I think it may be a struggle to use a self propelled chair up some of the hills.

Very good zoo, you need to be reasonably fit to enjoy it as it’s all on a big hill, but mobility aids and scooters are available doc, you need to pay a refundable deposit to use them. They also sell a season ticket / annual membership which allows you into this zoo and about 12 others

Found out trip there very disappointing.

Found out trip there very disappointing. Advertisments all over Edinburgh had pictures of panda on them. When we arrived at the zoo we were told they had gone back to China. We couldn’t just leave after travelling that far. Very hilly zoo- not for them physically challenged

Fantastic zoo with an array of animals.

Fantastic zoo with an array of animals. Most have escaped from Easter Road & wear Green & White Scarfs.... Go by the animal name of BAMS. The only downfall apart from this type of animal is that the zoo is on a massive inclined hill..!!! can be very tiring for kids.

Fantastic day out at zoo was dry day not too hot.

Fantastic day out at zoo was dry day not too hot. Go straight up to the top and work way down it’s a steep hill but take it slow. We - 2 adults - spent 4 hours there. Go for opening time 10am. Have good breakfast before you go nine if the food booths seemed to open until about 12. One restaurant near the bottom which we didn’t use as had brought snacks. Toilet blocks situated in quite a lot of places. Think there is a van that will take you up to top if poor mobility or little kids but unsure if this c is free. Plenty to see the day we went. Huge gift shop on way out. A great place to spend a day

What guests said about Edinburgh Zoo:

We spent the day at Edinburgh Zoo and I was really impressed. It had a lot to live up to as we visit Chester Zoo several times a year. Generally, the amount of space for the animals was good. I was particularly impressed with the members of staff who were doing their research with the monkeys. It was the monkeys choice whether it wanted to take part and they weren't forced to. The members of staff that I talked to were very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot whilst there. The penguins enclosure was fantastic and it is the best that I have ever seen. The day that we visited was very rainy but this did not spoil our experience as there were plenty of areas to keep dry. Well worth a visit and I would definitely go again.
