We are a relatively small organisation, employing a small visitor services team with seasonal staff in the café, shop and gate and just ten full time animal keepers. All our keepers are required to have, or to be training towards, an appropriate zoo animal management qualification.

About us

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) owns and manages Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park. Both are premier visitor attractions, offering visitors an excellent day out. Highland Wildlife Park is located in the Cairngorms National Park, 7 miles south of Aviemore.
