Gift Shops
Our gift shops have a wide and varied range, whether you’re looking for a memento of your visit or simply a gift for a special occasion, we are sure we'll have something for you!
Our soft toy collection is arguably the best in Scotland. Animals can also be found in plastic, bronze, ceramics and wood. Not surprisingly, many of our gifts are animal-related, from jewellery through to children's pyjamas. We also offer an environmentally sustainable range of beautiful gifts such as FairTrade.
Both shops, and the various kiosks around the Zoo, offer a range of camera films and disposable cameras as well as sun creams and plastic rain ponchos to help you cope - whatever the weather!
Our Gift Shop
Our main gift shop is located in the main entrance, so you can use it without having to pay Zoo admission. The shop stays open until 30 minutes after the Zoo closes allowing you time to browse after your visit, and until 6pm April - September.
Our Penguin Shop
The Penguin Shop (near the penguin enclosure) is open from April to September selling penguin-related items and smaller items.
If you have any enquiries about our gift shops, please call us on 0131 314 0331, or email giftshop@rzss.org.uk
Online Shop
You can also buy gifts and tickets from our online shop.
