Edinburgh Zoo

 

Zoos, or zoological gardens, exist in many forms all over the world. The first zoo showing wild animals from exotic locations to the public was opened in London Zoo, in 1828.

Zoo now often incorporate landscape immersion, where the animals' natural environment is recreated in their enclosures.

Modern zoos range from safari parks, where visitors drive through vast areas, seeing animals in the open range, to petting or childrens' zoos, where children can hold or stroke domestic and farm animals. Zoos also include aquariums, animal sanctuaries, animal theme parks, bird parks and reptile parks, and there are even butterfly zoos.

Zoo visits are fun, entertaining and educational, so wherever you are, visit your local zoo.

 

 

Zoo in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

  • Edinburgh Zoo

    Edinburgh Zoo in Edinburgh, Scotland has been in existence since 1913, and is set in 82 acres of beautiful, sloping parkland. Since its inception, the zoo has continued to develop the zoo in conjunction with our growing understanding and awareness of animal welfare, and we regularly design new enclosures that we know will enrich the lives of our animals and will also provide an exciting, inspirational zoo experience for visitors. At Edinburgh Zoo our mission is to encourage and promote the conservation of our threatened animal species and their habitats. There is so much to see and do at the zoo, from hands-on encounters with animals, educational events, play areas, talks by zoo keepers, hilltop safari rides, gift shop and a selection of places to eat, bring the family and spend an entertaining, enjoyable day in the outdoors.
