Do I need to print my ticket or is a mobile ticket accepted?

A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the entrance — no printing required.

What are the opening hours?

Hours change with the season. In summer (21 June–31 August) the zoo opens 9:30 AM–8:30 PM, with late-night Thursday openings until 11:30 PM from mid-June to mid-August. Winter hours (mid-October to late March) are 10:00 AM–5:00 PM. The zoo closes for approximately three weeks after Christmas.

Is the zoo suitable for young children?

Yes — children under 3 enter free with proof of identification. Children 16 and under must be accompanied by a paying adult aged 18 or over.

Is the zoo accessible for visitors with disabilities?

Visitors with a disability and their carers are admitted free of charge with a valid disability ID. The zoo's 14.5-hectare site is largely navigable on foot; contact the zoo directly for specific mobility access queries.

What time should I arrive?

Last admission is one hour before closing, so plan accordingly. Arriving earlier in the day gives you more time to explore all five biozones and the tropical greenhouse without rushing.

Are there places to eat inside the zoo?

Yes — there are six food and drink stops within the park, so you can comfortably spend a full day without needing to leave for lunch.
