Not sure which ticket to choose?
For a single visit, the standard entry ticket is the most efficient choice, ensuring you have a reserved time slot and avoiding the higher prices charged at the gate. If you are exploring London over several days, the Go City Explorer Pass is the better value option as it bundles the zoo with other major landmarks like the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey.
Visiting 2 to 7 major London landmarks
The Explorer Pass includes the zoo and offers significant savings for tourists planning to see multiple attractions over a 60-day period.
Compare rows ↓Flexible sightseeing without a fixed schedule
This pass allows you to choose your visit day based on weather or energy levels, which is ideal for the zoo's extensive outdoor walking routes.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main entrance is located on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park (NW1 4RY). While 'skip-the-line' tickets bypass the ticket purchase windows, all visitors must join the security queue for mandatory bag checks and person screening. Note that the Regent's Canal gate is currently closed to all visitors; those arriving via water bus from Little Venice or Camden Lock must walk to the main entrance. The zoo is physically split by a public road; once inside, use the underground tunnels or the bridge to move between the 'Land of the Lions' and 'Into Africa' sections. For the smoothest experience, arrive 15 minutes before your timed slot, and be aware that on Friday 'Zoo Nights' in June 2026, the main gates close to daytime visitors at 17:00 before re-opening for the evening event at 18:00.
- Price: Official ZSL London Zoo pricing is dynamic; for June 2026, adult tickets typically range from £31.00 to £35.50 for standard entry, with 'voluntary donation' tickets costing approximately 10% more. Partner prices generally align with the official peak-day rates, but booking any ticket online in advance is essential to avoid the significantly higher walk-up gate prices. Note that while the official site offers 'Saver' tickets for specific off-peak weekdays, partner platforms often provide better cancellation flexibility which the cheapest official tiers may lack.
- Discounts: Children under 3 enter for free but require a pre-booked 'Infant' ticket to be added to your online order for capacity tracking. Reduced 'Concession' rates apply to seniors (65+), students with valid ID, and visitors with disabilities. For every paying disabled visitor, one essential carer is admitted free of charge; official ZSL policy states this carer ticket does not need to be booked in advance and is issued at the entrance upon presentation of disability documentation (such as a DLA/PIP letter or Access Card). Low-income visitors receiving Universal Credit or similar benefits can access 'Community Access' tickets starting from £3, but these are strictly limited, must be booked online in advance, and require proof of eligibility at the gate. Additionally, children aged 5–15 with a valid Blue Peter badge can enter for free when accompanied by an adult paying full gate price.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my London Zoo tickets or can I show them on my phone?
Mobile tickets are fully accepted at the main entrance; you can simply show the barcode or QR code on your smartphone for scanning. If you booked via a third-party partner, ensure you have their specific digital voucher ready, as a simple email confirmation may not suffice.
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?
Official ZSL tickets allow for flexible entry anytime after your booked slot starts until one hour before the zoo closes. You do not need to arrive at the exact minute, but you will not be permitted to enter earlier than the time printed on your ticket.
Can I get a refund if it rains or if my travel plans change?
Official date-specific tickets are strictly non-refundable and non-exchangeable. For better flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended, as they frequently offer a 24-hour free cancellation policy that allows for a full refund if your plans change.
Are there any bag restrictions or luggage storage facilities on-site?
All bags are subject to security searches at the gate, which can cause minor delays during peak hours. While a limited number of small lockers are available for a fee near the entrance, they cannot accommodate large suitcases; visitors are advised to use city luggage storage hubs before arriving.
How do free tickets for children under 3 and essential carers work?
Children under 3 enter for free but must have a 'Free' ticket added to your online reservation to manage capacity. Disabled visitors pay a reduced rate and can claim one free essential carer ticket at the entrance gate upon presenting valid documentation, such as a DLA/PIP letter or Access Card.
Is it cheaper to buy tickets at the gate or online in advance?
Online tickets are always significantly cheaper than gate prices, which often include a 10% voluntary donation by default. Prices are dynamic, meaning booking at least 48 hours in advance for a weekday visit typically yields the lowest possible 'Off-Peak' rate.
Which areas of the zoo are the most crowded and should be visited first?
Popular walkthrough exhibits like 'Land of the Lions,' 'Butterfly Paradise,' and 'In with the Lemurs' develop the longest queues by midday. To avoid the biggest bottlenecks, head to these attractions immediately at the 10:00 AM opening or wait until after 3:00 PM when school groups begin to depart.
