Wake up and smell the bamboo!
As well as spending exclusive time at the panda enclosure before the zoo opens to other visitors, you can learn more about the other amazing animals we care for and find out about the vital conservation, community and engagement work carried out by RZSS teams in Scotland and around the world.
Please note: Bamboo Brunch pre-opening tours begin at 9am when our tour guide will meet you at our members gate in the car park before walking up the hill to the giant panda enclosure. If you require the assistance of a mobility scooter, please contact us in advance of your booking so we can ensure arrangements are in place.
Exclusively from the mansion house, guests will be served a selection of miniature pastries, fresh fruit skewers, frittatas and avocado toast followed by pancakes or a hot breakfast roll.
An assortment of teas, coffee and fruit juice will also be provided.
Please note, we are happy to cater to specific dietary requirements. To ensure we provide the best alternative, let us know advance by contacting pandaexperiences@rzss.org.uk.
This experience is suitable for adults and teens. If you’d like something for all the family to enjoy, check out our Pandas and Pancakes event.
A giant farewell
Our charity is giving Yang Guang and Tian Tian a giant farewell in 2023 as we work with colleagues at the China Wildlife Conservation Association to plan their return to China later in the year.
