The new facility at RZSS' Highland Wildlife Park has been built to promote conservation work.
Based at Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s Highland Wildlife Park, Scotland's Wildlife Discovery Centre has been built to help rare species such as wildcats and scabious mining bees.
Head of discovery and learning, Beccy Angus, said: "Watching kids run in and start to play - that is everything we were hoping for." She added: "I think sometimes conservation can feel like it is really far away, that you are not necessarily involved in it. "They do survey assessing our on-site biodiversity, the RSPB Big Garden birdwatch and butterfly counts."Ben Supple, RZSS deputy chief executive, said one in nine species were at risk of extinction in Scotland.
