Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your mobile ticket can be scanned directly from your phone at the entrance, though carrying a printout as a backup is always sensible.
How long should I allow for a visit?
Whipsnade is a very large, open site and most visitors spend a full day here. Arriving early gives you the best chance of catching feeding sessions and talks throughout the day.

The zoo is situated near Dunstable in Bedfordshire, roughly 30 miles north of Central London. It is accessible by car and there is parking on site (charges may apply).
Is the zoo suitable for young children?
Yes. The zoo is popular with families and there are plenty of animal experiences suited to all ages. Pushchairs are welcome on the paths throughout the site.
Is ZSL Whipsnade Zoo accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?
The zoo has paved paths and accessible facilities across much of the site, though as a large outdoor venue some areas may be more challenging. Contact ZSL directly for the most up-to-date accessibility information.
