Best time to goWeekdays in the first half of May and from early September. Wet, cool days empty the park, and the zoo animals are more active.
School holiday tipScottish families get quiet weekdays in the first half of July. Late August sees English/Welsh families at full strength, so choose a Tuesday-Wednesday and arrive before opening.

If it rainsMixed: zoo houses and some indoor rides help, but most is outdoors
