Edinburgh Zoo:
Edinburgh Zoo is owned by The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS). Set in 82 acres of sloping parkland, the Zoo is situated three miles to the west of Edinburgh city centre. Apart from getting close to over 1,000 rare and endangered animals, there are many different ways to enjoy your day out. You can experience a busy programme of educational events and activities - ranging from keeper talks through to hands-on animal encounters - and a wide-range of eating experiences, several play areas, a fantastic gift shop, and free hilltop safari rides. Gary Wilson talks to Thrive about the exciting developments worth £76m that have been taking place. (www.edinburghzoo.org.uk)
