Give your dad an extra special celebration this Father's Day with great gifts from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS).
We would love to welcome you and your dad to Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park to celebrate all things dad – come along for a wild day out and visit all your favourite animals!
For brews on the move
Treat your dad to a gift on the go with our stainless steel travel mugs.
Double walled to keep your drinks hot or cold with fun animal prints from the zoo and the park, these mugs are perfect for a dad that never sits still!
Say it with a roar
This 'King of Dads' card is perfect for the mane man in your life this Father's Day.
This card is made in the UK on recycled paper and sesigned by Leopardy Nonsense, who captures simple joy and humour in her work.
Roll with wildlife
Forget Pall Mall and Old Kent Road, our Edinburgh Zoo Monopoly is much more fun!
Choose your favourite animals to adopt, build the enclosures they need to thrive and use Wild Cards and Animal Antics to get ahead of your opponents. The perfect gift for a dad who loves games!
Pass GO!
Family fun at the zoo
Treat your dad to a wild day out that you can get involved in with our Family Fun Keeper Experience!
Help with daily animal feeds, make enrichment and go behind-the-scenes for a unique insight into the daily routines of zoo life.
Give the gift of wildlife
Animal adoption makes the perfect gift and is a great way to support our wildlife conservation charity.
Whether they love the lions or go wild for our wolves, you can adopt any of our animals at Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park.
Dad spotlight
Botzman, our male Amur tiger, came to Highland Wildlife Park in 2020 and bonded quickly with our female, Dominika.
In May 2021 they welcomed three cubs — Nishka, Layla and Aleksander. Botzman was amazing with the cubs and loved spending time with them, which made introductions very easy.
Keepers would often find Botzman and Aleksander curled up together during morning checks!
