About This Event

Edinburgh Zoo is delighted to announce the return of its popular RZSS Summer School, commencing on Monday 29 June. This engaging programme provides young people with a fantastic opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of animals and diverse cultures through a variety of interactive activities. Catering to different age groups, the Summer School welcomes children from Primary 2–3, Primary 4–6, Primary 7/Secondary 1, and Secondary 2–4. Participants will embark on exciting zoo trails, enjoy fun games, unleash their creativity with arts and crafts, and get up close with some of the zoo's residents during animal handling sessions. A particularly rewarding aspect of the programme involves helping to construct enrichment devices, designed to enhance the well-being and stimulate the minds of the animals. This hands-on approach ensures a memorable and educational experience for all. Further information regarding pricing and booking arrangements can be found on the Edinburgh Zoo website.
