How much are tickets for London Zoo?

Do you have to book to go to London Zoo?

If you are visiting the zoo before 3pm then you’ll need to book. This booking will ensure your space at the zoo. You can try your luck and turn up at the gates of the zoo, but you may be turned away or asked to come back after 3pm. You’ll also want to book if you are visiting on a school holiday, bank holiday or weekend, as these are some of the busiest days for London Zoo. That’s why we always advise booking, just in case. It not only saves stress, but can also save you some money too.

Do I need to wear a mask at London Zoo?

Yes, you will be asked to wear masks in certain areas of the zoo if you’re older than 11 years, so definitely bring one if you’re not exempt. This is to protect customers, staff and the animals.
