Pokémon Go at Edinburgh Zoo

We are delighted to have multiple PokéStops and gyms located at various points around the zoo! 

Waddle this way to battle at one of our gyms or get your steps up by wandering around the 82 acres of sloping parkland – all whilst meeting some of the 2,500+ incredible animals that live at the zoo!
