About Edinburgh Zoo’s Grotto Express
This festive season at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Edinburgh Zoo we're opening our grotto on special evenings for an out of hours experience! Our animals will be tucked up in bed, but your little ones will still have the chance to meet Santa Claus & Mrs Claus and receive an early festive surprise.
This experience is available to book in 10-minute slots from 5pm – 7:30pm. Please note only the grotto will be accessible and the remainder of the zoo, including the gift shop, will be closed. Entry is through our members gate at the top of the car park. Adults are not required to purchase ticket.
Pre-booking is essential. For more information, please visit our express grotto FAQs.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
