Our New Parents socials are created for new parents looking to spend some time at the zoo and build their community. The socials offer a friendly environment where everyone is welcome and all contributions are valued. They are suitable for first-time visitors and for those who might not regularly come to the zoo, as well as people who have always loved visiting.
The social will take place on the fourth Friday of each month from September through June. The socials are relaxed and informal, start with tea and cake, and feature a range of activities inspired by our animals and conservation work.
Each month will be a different topic and include lighthearted conversation and engaging activities. The first social of the season will be an introduction to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, and all things Edinburgh Zoo! You will learn a bit about the history of the charity, the amazing animals we look after, and some of the important conservation work we do both here in Scotland and around the world. We will also meet some of our resident favourites up close!
