Visitor parking costs £5, while RZSS members park free after validating their tickets at Admissions and Retail (edinburghzoo.org.uk). Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is particularly important on popular visiting days (edinburghzoo.org.uk). The zoo also lists coach parking at £20, which is separate from the visitor parking charge (edinburghzoo.org.uk). ## Busy Days and Parking Restrictions Around Corstorphine Road The official alternate-parking guidance says the car park can be full, making surrounding streets especially pressured when visitor demand is high (edinburghzoo.org.uk). The zoo also warns that parking on greenways and in bus lanes is restricted at certain times, with the applicable times varying between weekdays and weekends (edinburghzoo.org.uk). Corstorphine Road is the entry street for the site, and the restrictions mean that leaving a vehicle in a bus lane or greenway is not a suitable substitute for a full zoo car park (edinburghzoo.org.uk). Drivers heading for busy periods can avoid relying on an on-street space by reserving nearby parking in advance.
