Make the most of your day with Edinburgh Zoo luggage storage
Edinburgh Zoo, located on the outskirts of the Scottish capital, houses animals from around the world, including its most famous residents - giant pandas and penguins. The zoo is set across beautiful, hilly terrain, so a visit here means you get to observe animals but also enjoy stunning views of the city. Educational talks, animal encounters, and conservation programs make Edinburgh Zoo a great option for a day of fun, especially if you're visiting with kids.
This hilly place isn't a great area to carry heavy bags, though. You can find luggage lockers when visiting Edinburgh Zoo, they often fill up a busy times, and can't hold particularly big bags. Instead of trying to find luggage lockers at Edinburgh Bus Station or Waverley Train Station, let Bounce provide you with the best luggage storage in the city and keep your luggage storage cost to a minimum. Visit Edinburgh Zoo hands-free while we store your excess baggage.
