Only facilities we’ve confirmed are listed — anything missing here we simply haven’t checked, rather than know to be absent.
Five Sisters Zoo holds over 160 different species from around the world. You can see Scotland's only cheetah, visit the Lost Kingdom indoor reptile house, and learn about the zoo's work with rescued brown bears. The site includes an on-site restaurant, a play park, and an indoor soft play area called Leaping Lemurs. The zoo is open all year except Christmas Day and 1 January, and is situated 25 minutes west of Edinburgh.
