The Prize

Imagine yourself and your loved one arriving at Edinburgh Zoo for a day you’ll never forget. Meeting RZSS CEO David Field, you’ll start your day with a luxury breakfast in the beautiful Mansion House in the heart of the zoo. David will share inspiring stories from his years of experience caring for animals and you can ask him as many questions as you like.

Your excitement will grow as you get ready to meet one of the cutest baby animals in the world!  At our hippo house, closed to the public for your exclusive viewing, you will learn all about caring for this delightful family and help to give them the love and care they need, along with a tasty treat!

When you can bear to leave them, you will then enjoy a tour with David to see some of your other favourite animals around the zoo. See the koalas, lions, tigers, penguins and many more, gaining a real behind the scenes insight into caring for these incredible animals.

This prize is for 2 people aged 12+. Every effort will be made to accommodate a date of your choice, subject to availability. 

Your donation will care for the animals you love

Sadly, fewer than 2,500 pygmy hippos survive in the wild and they are at risk of extinction. Edinburgh Zoo’s pygmy hippo family are amazing ambassadors for their relatives in the wild and help hundreds of thousands of people connect with nature every year. They encourage visitors to learn about the threats facing wildlife and the action they can take to help protect animals.

Every entry to our prize draw will make a difference!
