Getting to the zoo
Lothian buses 12, 26 and 31 stop outside the main entrance on Corstorphine Road. The zoo’s paid car park has limited spaces and can fill early in school holidays, so the bus is often easier.
Pace your visit
The zoo climbs a hillside, so wear comfortable shoes and use the accessibility map to plan a route. A free mobility vehicle runs all year for visitors who need it, and last entry is one hour before closing.
A quieter way to look
A quiet space beside the flamingos offers a calm room to pause, with a baby care room next to it. Picnic areas look out across the zoo, so take a moment to watch an animal settle before moving on.
