Beauty and the Beasties

About Beauty and the Beasties

Be our guest this Valentine's Day for a truly ZOOnique date night!

You and your special someone will start the evening with a cheeky adults-only talk before meeting some of our zoo beauties and beasties in this animal close encounter. After learning how different species show their love in the wild, you’ll enjoy a candlelit three-course meal in our Mansion House along with a splendid bottle of wine.

Entry for this event is through our members gate at the top of the Edinburgh Zoo car park.
