London Zoo
The Zoo’s biggest experience, Land of the Lions, gives you the chance to get closer than ever before to the mighty Asiatic lions. You can explore walkways covering the 2,500sqm Indian-themed exhibit. Come face-to-face with one of nature’s most awesome predators in Tiger Territory, learn about the natural behaviours of Sumatran tigers and discover the conservation issues these creatures face in the wild. Tiny Giants is a celebration of all things small but mighty, and the sometimes strange but always wonderful world of invertebrates. Also home to a new coral reef tank, this indoor experience is one not to be missed. You’ll love heading down to the beach to watch our colony of Humboldt penguins dive, swim, frolic and feed in England's largest penguin pool, complete with large underwater viewing windows. And step Into Africa to observe the elegance and grace of the giraffes before moving on to the magnificent residents of Gorilla Kingdom.

Great day out
Great day out, for all the family. Enjoyed the experience of seing many animals from around the world.

Always a treat
While I'm conflicted about zoos in general for all the obvious reasons, if you can look beyond that (acknowledging the great work they do and that visits help to fund across the world) London Zoo is a real delight. Being able to observe all these amazing animals just doing their thing is spirit-enlarging and absolutely enchanting. I come across animals I'd never met/heard of every time I visit, and learn something new. If you have the time and patience to just sit and watch for a while, and have the good fortune of visiting when there aren't too many school groups/families around (particularly the nocturnal areas, where the animals become more curious once it's nice and quiet), it's just wonderful. I stopped for a talk at the komodo house yesterday given by the keeper and learned more about these remarkable creatures, and got to have a delightful chat with Olivia as well. I was there for 5 hours and could easily have stayed twice as long!

Penguin Keepers
We visited London Zoo on 24 September and thoroughly enjoyed our day there. We had the opportunity to be Penguin Keepers, which was a fantastic experience. A special thank you to Olivia and Fiona for their wonderful introduction to the world of penguins and for their excellent guidance throughout the experience. I highly recommend becoming a Penguin Keeper, and I would also highly recommend a visit to London Zoo in general. After the Penguin Keeper experience, we spent the rest of the day exploring the zoo.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day and that the Penguin Keeper experience was a highlight of your visit. A special thank you for recognising Olivia and Fiona. We're pleased they helped make the experience so memorable. Thank you for recommending both the Penguin Keeper experience and London Zoo, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

Fun
The day that we went the weather was perfect so it wasn’t too hot and it wasn’t too cold. We saw all of the animals apart from the Tiger’s as they wasn’t out which was a bit disappointing as they was the ones we was looking forward to the most, but overall the experience was really fun and we saw lots of animals and the staff were really friendly and engaging and helpful. I would definitely recommend it as a good date day. A side note definitely bring your own food if you need to as the price’s of the food and ice cream’s, hot and cold drinks are extortionate. But overall a 4 out of 5.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear you had a fun day and found our team friendly, engaging and helpful. We're sorry you didn't get to see the tigers during your visit. Our animals can choose where they spend their time, so they aren't always visible to guests. We appreciate your feedback on our food and drink prices and will share this with the relevant team. Thank you for recommending us as a great date day out, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

6 out of 5, excellent zoo for the family
I would score it 6 out of 5 if I could. An excellent zoo with a wide range of fascinating animals and engaging staff giving interesting talks. Blue frogs, a butterfly tent, exotic spiders, colourful and noisy birds, silver back gorillas behind spotlessly clean glass. It was busy on a Saturday but didn't feel overcrowded. An experience for the whole family.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear you had such a fantastic day and enjoyed the wide variety of animals and keeper talks. It's wonderful to know the Zoo felt engaging for the whole family. Thank you for your glowing recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊🦁🐧

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Zoo Entry Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Zoo Entry Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London Zoo Entry Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London Zoo Entry Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 914 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London Zoo Entry Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London Zoo Entry Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London Zoo Entry Ticket?
+
Around 320 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Zoo Entry Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in London Zoo Entry Ticket?
+
Included: Entrance to ZSL London Zoo. Not included: Guide book; Hotel pickup and drop off; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for London Zoo Entry Ticket?
+
The experience starts at London Zoo, Outer Circle, The Regent's Park, London, NW1 4RY, United Kingdom. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for London Zoo Entry Ticket?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is London Zoo Entry Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+
