Let’s head north. Edinburgh Zoo is perched on a hill, and it has the best view in the zoo world. You can see the castle while watching a giraffe munch leaves. Their main claim to fame? The penguin parade. It’s exactly what it sounds like: keepers walk the penguins out every day, and they waddle around like tiny, tuxedoed toddlers.
It’s also the only zoo in the UK with koalas. And giant pandas… well, they were here for a long time. It feels a bit older than Chester, but the charm is off the charts. Plus, the slopes of the hill make for a surprisingly good workout. Who needs a gym when you have a hill-climbing penguin?
