Five Sisters Zoo - West Calder

Die unteren Gehegen sind überwiegend überholenswert. Die neuen Gehege sind schön gestaltet. Jedoch waren die Tiere meistens nicht zu sehen

I came to the illuminations with 3 friends and we had an amazing evening,
lots to do and see with different stalls with a wide variety of gifts to
buy and food to eat which was all very reasonably priced. We had dinner
booked for after our visit however had we realised there was so many
options there we would have happily eaten at the zoo. We were also very
surprised at the size and expansion of the zoo it had been many years since
we had last been there and the expansion and growth of the zoo is amazing
Thanks for an amazing evening

Definitely go if you’ve never been before! It is a nice zoo and I’m sure I’ve not seen the best of it.

It does seem to promise so much yet both times we’ve visited I’ve left feeling a little underwhelmed. There’s some really nice areas all around the park to wander through and enjoy and take pictures of but I’ve never seen half the animals and some of the enclosures look desolate. Snow Leopard, Cheetahs, Bears. Even the mice in their little hut weren’t for showing face. A lot of the animals you can see easily are the same ones you’ll see at any decent farm park in the country.

There’s always work going on preparing for this and that, maintenance work, red and white tape, mountains of supplies and decorations lying about ready to be put up and nothing opened other than the cafe across from the main entrance building - maybe we’ve just been unlucky on the days we have decided to go.

This most recent occasion, the pinnacle of the visit was the sole lion (previously three) and the arctic wolves were doing their usual restless pacing round the outer perimeter. There is a mini theme park which wasn’t operational during either of our visits and plenty (unopened) food stalls with varying options - expect zoo prices though!

I would be wary of the ducks enclosure as it’s just full of sh*t everywhere and stinks so watch where the kids are putting their hands if you let them roam.

The kids enjoyed the play park mostly. Toilets are actually pretty clean.

There’s some nice model animals outside in the car park which are entertaining for the young ones to see a lot closer up.

There’s tons of free parking available.

Great zoo attraction which is continually being improved with exhibits moved or expanded. We have been many times and each time it feels good to view. New areas have been opened with new animals.

Animal exhibits are good and the enclosures good and stimulating for the animals there. Plenty of information available to explain what, how and when- for example the bears and how they got them and how they are working with them.

The only issue we had I would say is the attractions weren't manned too well and had to wait some time for the operators to appear. However, we were there for the animals and the attractions are secondary.

We had an amazing day out here,
This zoo is smaller than Edinburgh but still has just as amazing animals. Perfect place for kids with it being smaller kids should manage all the way around. Ease around the park if mobility is a problem no crazy steep hills (well one but you don't need to go that way)
Will be back again and hopefully get a keeper experience.

Lovely lil zoo! Perfect for a quick day out. We went during the week so there were very few people so no waiting anywhere. A good range of different animals, too.
