Current Scottish Government guidance means we can open our gates to provide a safe, outdoor environment for City of Edinburgh residents (check your local authority area). From Friday 16 April we will be able to welcome visitors from all over Scotland.
Safety comes first and it is important everyone follows current government guidance to protect themselves and others. This means you must not travel from outside the local authority area or gather in groups of more than two households with more than two adults and everyone must book a time slot online in advance.
Please respect the new ‘rules of the road’ at the zoo and our dedicated teams who are there to make sure everyone has a safe and fun day out.
Remember we can only open outdoors which means all indoor animal areas and our gift shop must remain closed for now. Toilets and changing facilities, takeaway only catering and ‘Click & Collect’ options from our online shop will all be available.
