Is Edinburgh zoo worth visiting?
Very clean and tidy and the majority of the animals could be seen. Lots of very knowledgeable staff scattered here and there, very friendly and informative. Loved the Tigers and the Lions, but by heck, that’s one big hill to climb to get to them, worth it though, the views of Edinburgh and beyond are amazing.
