Highland Wildlife Park
Our Park in the Highlands
As well as Edinburgh Zoo, The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland also owns the Highland Wildlife Park. Based at Kincraig, near Aviemore, the Highland Wildlife Park is more of an experience than a visitor attraction.
Discover the amazing variety of wildlife found in present day Scotland, such as the pine marten, wildcat, otter and capercaillie - then step back in time and meet the creatures that roamed the earth hundreds, even thousands of years ago - the animals of your ancestors, such as wolves, lynx, reindeer and wild horses.
Within the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's vision for Masterplan, the Highland Wildlife Park has expanded its species collection further to include endangered animals from the world's mountain and tundra regions. Already home to snow monkeys, red pandas, yak and Amur tigers, the Park will also soon welcome our camels and snow leopards!
Drive around the Main Reserve in your own car and then investigate the walk-round area by foot.
Opening Times
| November to March | 10am to 4pm |
| April to October | 10am to 5pm |
| July & August | 10am to 6pm |
Last entry is always one hour before closing.
Daily Feeding Talks
Throughout the day there are animal warden feeding talks on some of the many creatures in the walk-around area. Watch as some of the animals are fed and hear some more fascinating facts about them! Check the boards around the Visitor Centre for times.
