About Meet Mr and Mrs Claus at the Zoo!

From 1 December – 24 December, the grotto will be available to book on selected days to book in 10-minute time slots from 10:20am – 3:30pm.

**Please note the grotto does not include entry into Edinburgh Zoo**.

Admission tickets must be purchased alongside your Santa’s grotto tickets. We’d recommend booking your favoured grotto slot, and then booking your zoo tickets afterwards!
