Edinburgh Zoo

25 Best Zoos in the World

"Covering 82 acres and home to over 2,500 animals, this zoo features attractions such as a large penguin colony and Scotland’s only two-toed sloths, along with playful resident hippos. It offers robust educational programming, school visits, and packages that let participants become junior or adult zookeepers for a day." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
