New Parent Socials Sunday Morning

Aimed at parents, New Parent socials are a space for parents, with babies under 1 year, to come together to connect with nature & each other

Join us for a block of 3 new parent socials here at Edinburgh Zoo. Meet new parents and learn about the work RZSS do across the world.

Our New Parents socials are created for new parents with babies under 12 months (at the time of attending your first block) looking to spend some time at the zoo and build their community. The socials amied at parents 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.

Following feedback from the previous year, we are running a 3 session block on select Sunday mornings each month starting from January. The dates of sessions are shown below:

Block C:

April 26th

May 24th

June 21st

The first part of the social is time for socialising, before taking part in an activity. Each month will be a different topic and include lighthearted conversation and engaging hands on activities aimed at parents.

The event runs from 11:00 till 12:15 in the Education Centre and around the zoo. When you arrive at the zoo, you can either enter through our main reception and head straight to Education.

The event is £27 per adult for all 3 socials which covers the event and entry to the zoo for the day. Please book one ticket for each person attending (you will not have to book a ticket for your baby). Spaces are limited, so we can offer a space for up to two adults and a baby. Please ensure you cancel your booking if you can no longer attend so that we can give tickets to other people.

Once you have booked on you are welcome to attend Block A and Block B. Block A will run Sep-Nov and Block B will run Jan-March.

Please note these sessions are focused on adults. For sessions aimed at early years please see our Joeys, Roos and Big Roos programmes on Eventbrite.

If you have any questions you can email [email protected] or call our community line at 07776 165372. If anyone would like to be let in through Member's Gate rather than the main entrance, please email ahead of the session.
