Buying guide

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.

01

Standard admission for a single day

Best for a dedicated visit; booking online secures a timed entry slot and avoids the higher prices and long queues found at the physical ticket office.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Official prices often include a 10% voluntary donation for ZSL's conservation work; you can opt-out for a lower rate at the official gate, but partner tickets (Tiqets/GetYourGuide) typically sell a fixed-price 'Standard' or 'Peak' ticket.
  • Prices are dynamic and significantly higher for weekend or school holiday visits in June; booking at least 48 hours in advance is usually cheaper than 'on-the-day' gate prices.
  • A 'skip-the-line' or 'timed entry' ticket only bypasses the ticket-purchase window; all visitors must still wait in the mandatory security bag-check queue, which can be lengthy on sunny June mornings.
  • The zoo is located inside Regent's Park and is a 15-20 minute walk from the nearest Tube stations (Camden Town or Regent's Park); factor in bus or taxi fares if traveling with small children or those with limited mobility.
  • Certain walkthrough exhibits, such as 'In with the Lemurs' or the Butterfly House, may close 30-60 minutes earlier than the main zoo gates for animal welfare.
  • On-site catering at the Terrace Restaurant and kiosks carries a high tourist markup; visitors are permitted to bring their own food and drink to use at the designated picnic areas to avoid these costs.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    Use London Zoo's main entrance on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park, NW1 4RY. The official travel information lists Camden Town as about 0.8 miles away, Chalk Farm about 0.9 miles, Baker Street about 1.1 miles and Regent's Park about 1.2 miles. Check the official visitor information and your ticket for current opening times, access arrangements and any event-day changes before travelling.

  • Price

    The supplied rows currently show GetYourGuide entry at €36 with limited availability and Tiqets entry at €40.87 with availability shown as available. Tiqets also lists the Go City London Explorer Pass at €67.27, London: Family Pass at €84.08 and The London Pass® at €104.05. No official ZSL total is supplied in these rows, so compare the final checkout total, date or slot conditions and inclusions before paying.

  • Discounts

    Children under 3 are free. At London Zoo, one essential carer enters free with each disabled member; bring supporting documentation showing that a carer is required, such as a DLA or PIP letter, Freedom Pass or other appropriate local-authority evidence. Check the current ticket terms for any other concession, community or promotional eligibility before booking.

  • 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.
