 Penguins on parade |
Corstorphine Road Edinburgh EH12 6TS United Kingdom +44 131 334 9171 http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/ |
All the old favorites are here: Asiatic lions, South American monkeys, zebras, funky little marmosets and tamarins - this is a sure-fire hit for children and adults alike. The jewel in Edinburgh Zoo's crown has to be the penguins, who make a regular parade outside their enclosure at 2pm (March-October) when weather permits. Or they can be viewed swimming underwater in the world's biggest penguin pool. You can also arrange to handle the smaller animals (such as snails, rats and snakes) or to take a safari ride in an open-sided trailer. Take the opportunity to meet some of the keepers and learn about the more exotic and endangered inhabitants here. There's a great little gift shop with lots of affordable goodies, and a handy coffee shop/restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 History, Sport and A Few Animals... |
Edinburgh EH12 5JE United Kingdom +44 (0)131 473 3800 (Tourist Information) |
Murrayfield is one of the popular places to visit while in Edinburgh. Edinburugh Castle, Scotland's top attraction as well as the enigmatic Edinburgh Zoo are all located in this area. The zoo has its own fun routine, and thousands of people visit each year to witness the daily walks of the resident penguins. If you're more of a sports fan, then make your way down to Murrayfield Stadium, Scotland's national rugby stadium and be sure to catch a game. Review © 2007, Wcities |
