think the rep room was closed..... as far as i know they are meant to be doing some kind of refurb.... as they still have all their reps.... i quite like edinburgh zoo... the zebra enclosure at the very top (long climb) is fab... as is the penguin walk... have fun x

Zoo is still good. If weather is good you might get to see the penguin walk - they let the larger penguins come out of the exhibit and wander along the path. If you're lucky one might bite your shoe laces or something. Do they still do that though?
Lions are still good. Unsure if the tigers are back - they had loads of cubs. The Rhino and Pygmy Hippos are world renound I think.
I always enjoy the birds area. Tucked away, always quiet except the birds.
