Visitor Information
Welcome
Set in over 82 acres of wooded hillside, RZSS Edinburgh Zoo is home to over 1,000 rare and endangered animals. We want our visitors to have an unforgettable day out, so please browse the pages below in order to make the most of your visit.
Lion viewing information:
Our Asiatic lions are currently off show to visitors because Roberta is nursing three young cubs and we’re giving the family lots of peace and quiet.

There are currently roadworks outside the Zoo but they are not affecting access to our car park at this time.
