London Zoo Discount Codes in August 2026

Planning your visit to London Zoo

London Zoo offers a full day of wildlife experiences, with animal habitats, keeper talks, feeding demonstrations, play areas and seasonal events throughout the year. Visitors can also enjoy animal experiences, virtual reality attractions and a variety of cafés and picnic areas.

Booking online offers the best value, with tickets generally cheaper than buying on the gate. London Zoo also offers family tickets, memberships, Flexi Tickets, Universal Credit tickets and concession rates for disabled visitors, students and seniors. As a registered conservation charity, admission tickets are not subject to VAT, with every purchase helping to support wildlife conservation.

For disabled visitors and people living with long term health conditions, London Zoo provides extensive accessibility support, including discounted disabled tickets, free essential companion admission, wheelchair hire, accessible routes, British Sign Language tours, relaxed openings, audio described tours and a detailed Accessibility Guide.
