We are pleased to invite members to a fam trip with Royal Zoological Society Scotland on Thursday 20 March 2025
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is a wildlife conservation charity with a bold vision: a world where nature is protected, valued, and loved. Edinburgh Zoo is a gateway to nature, offering a unique connection to wildlife. Set within 82 acres of sloping parkland, Edinburgh Zoo is a world-class visitor attraction and home to over 2,500 animals from around the world.
Visitors can spot charming penguins, majestic giraffes, the UK’s only Queensland koalas, and Scotland’s only sloths as they explore. They can also learn about the challenges facing wildlife and how RZSS is working to save animals from extinction through pioneering conservation projects in Scotland and around the world, from reintroducing Scottish wildcats to protecting chimpanzees in the wild. The zoo also features a variety of on-site restaurants and eateries, as well as multiple private event spaces available for hire.
Every visit and event supports these vital efforts, inspiring people to protect and cherish the natural world for generations to come.
