Please note – Edinburgh Zoo is located on Corstorphine Hill, and some of the paths around the park involve steep slopes. We would advise visitors to plan their route and bring suitable footwear – the views from the top are worth it!

Wheelchair and mobility access

Many of the paths around the zoo can be accessed by wheelchair. However some routes involve steps or steep slopes which are unsuitable for wheelchairs.

We are also pleased to be able to offer a dedicated mobility vehicle to help visitors access areas of the park that may otherwise be difficult to reach. For more information please click here.

Wet weather and indoor activities

Our 11 indoor animal housing areas and six sheltered observation areas ensure that even on a rainy day, a trip to the zoo is an enthralling experience.
