Make your little one's day at Edinburgh Zoo extra special this festive season. Meet Santa Claus and Mrs Claus at our Festive Grotto and receive an exclusive early festive surprise!

From 1 December – 24 December, the grotto will be available to book in 10-minute time slots each day.  

Please note the grotto does not include entry into Edinburgh Zoo. Admission tickets must be purchased alongside your Festive Grotto tickets. We’d recommend booking your favoured grotto slot and then booking your zoo tickets afterwards.

Mr and Mrs Claus will also be joining us in the evening to see as many children as possible on dates that our Winter Village is open late!
