Yes, London Zoo is already back open. However, you will need to adhere to the social distancing advice. This will be clearly signposted around the zoo for you though. London Zoo asks that everyone bring and wear a facemask around certain parts of the zoo, unless you are exempt of course.
How much are tickets for London Zoo?
Booking your tickets for London Zoo is super easy! If you book online before your visit you can save about 18% on your ticket, so we recommend you book. This will also ensure your place at the zoo, which is vital at the moment with social distancing limitations.
When you book a ticket for visitors 16 years and above it’ll be £24.30. But for kids between 3 and 15 years it’ll cost you £18 each. Any younger customers will enter for free.
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.
