Mum, Mummy, Mam, Ma, Mom – however you call your Mother, she deserves to be celebrated everyday but most especially on Mother’s Day, for everything’s she’s done for you. This March 15, join Edinburgh Zoo’s Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea with your Mum and meet a flamingo with her chick, a L’Hoest’s monkey and her infant, a pygmy hippo and her calf, and many more! After a fun romp around the zoo, take a seat at the Mansion House to have some delicious invigorating tea as you reminisce on precious childhood memories.
