Student guides are ready to give you, your family, and your friends FREE tours of the amazing life of this planet. The Zoology Museum displays are worldwide in scope - from sea sponges to the great whales, from mice and voles to the Indian elephant and giant Japanese spider crab. On your tour you will see examples of taxidermy, skeletons, fluid-preserved specimens and models.

To guarantee a place on a tour, go to the booking link below. Booking is recommended but we also welcome people who drop-in on the day.

Please go to the Zoology Building foyer five minutes before the tour is due to start. A member of the tour team will be waiting to welcome you.

If tours are full, you can still enjoy a self-guided visit to the Zoology Museum.

The Zoology museum is open 10.00 – 16.00 Monday-Friday. Entry is free to all!

For more information and how to find us visit the Zoology Museum website.

The Zoology Museum tours are devised and led by the students, with support from the University Collections team. Your guide may be a student who has already given many tours, or they may be giving their first tour. You are welcome to ask questions, if there are questions the student guides are unable to answer, you can contact us at uoacollections@abdn.ac.uk.

We hope you enjoy your experience.

If you are part of a group that would be interested in a student-led tour of the Zoology Museum, get in touch. This might be a group of friends or family/ a Scout group/ a Club or Society etc. The Museum is open Monday-Friday between 10am - 4pm but we may be able to accommodate some tours outside of these times. There is no charge for a group tour, but donations are always welcome. Email uoacollections@abdn.ac.uk for further information.
