Posted 8 Jul 2026 in Edinburgh Zoo
Animal lovers are being given the chance to win the keys to Edinburgh Zoo and meet incredible animals including the first ever sloth to be born in Scotland.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) has launched a prize draw offering one lucky winner and three guests the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the wildlife conservation charity.
Thanks to this year’s bumper baby boom there has never been a better time to visit. The winner could meet playful youngsters including Scotland’s first Linne’s two-toed sloth Atty, capybara pup Bru and giant anteater Snoot.
RZSS chief executive David Field will lead visitors on a tour of the zoo. “This is a truly unique opportunity to experience Edinburgh Zoo in a way that very few people ever will," he said.
“Seeing amazing animals up close and feeding some of the adorable new arrivals will be a once-in-a-lifetime prize.”
Every £5 ticket purchased will support vital conservation work, including the Saving Wildcats project led by RZSS which is returning wildcats to the Scottish Highlands.
Chief executive of RZSS and President of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), David has more than 30 years of experience in wildlife conservation and zoo leadership.
"As a wildlife conservation charity, we rely on the generosity of our supporters. Every ticket sold helps to create a future where nature is protected, valued and loved for generations to come," he said.
The prize includes lunch at the zoo, an overnight stay and RZSS family membership for a year.
