Car parking
All visitors who use our car park will be required to pay for parking, apart from members who can continue to park for free as part of their membership benefits.
All car park users will need to take a ticket from the barriers on arrival and can validate and pay by card/contactless at the pay station or by cash in admissions. Members, blue badge holders and experiences need to go to admissions to get their tickets validated. Members can also do this at the members gate.
As we are a city zoo, our parking spaces are limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Our car park can fill up early in the day, especially during busier periods such as school holidays.

Dogs are not permitted into Edinburgh Zoo as they can cause stress to some of our animals. We only permit assistance dogs. See our policy for more details.
For the safety of other visitors and our animals, we reserve the right to refuse admission to any visitors under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
