Edinburgh Zoo is heading into Easter with an exciting range of activities planned to keep families and guests entertained.
To kick off the celebrations, volunteers at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) have been offering the zoo's resident red pandas, Kevyn and Kitty, enrichment filled with tasty treats, like apples and bamboo.
On the human side of things, visitors in April will be able to enjoy events like a delicious two-course roast dinner served in the Mansion House or exploring a Top Trumps Easter Hunt trail.
While amateur artists can take part in bestiary painting workshops with natural history artists Rebecca Jewell and Sandy Ross-Sykes.
