the signage around the zoo is lacking, ended up walking way more than necessary. Also I think a warning should be put on regarding the steepness of the site. I walk with a cane & the only downside of the day was how much pain I was in. it's a beautiful zoo and if I go back to Scotland I would definitely revisit.

I enjoyed the experience as the last thing to do before departing Edinburgh for London. I was extremely lucky to hear the lion roar, see the ant water at close proximity, the penguins, and most especially the giraffes. The availability of toilets every corner of the zoo was splendid and they were kept clean. Kudos to everyone responsible for keeping that zoo safe and clean. It was a marvellous experience for me and certainly made my trip to Edinburgh a perfect birthday gift.
