Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. However, online sales for same-day admission close after 9:30 am, so if you want to visit spontaneously, you will need to buy tickets in person[1][3]. Prices may vary based on the date of visit, so it’s recommended to check the official website calendar for the latest rates prior to your trip[2]. Children under 3 years old can enter for free[6]. Membership options are also available if you plan multiple visits throughout the year, providing unlimited free entry and additional benefits[1].
Individual tickets sometimes appear for sale through third-party sellers, but these may include additional commission fees. It’s generally best to purchase directly from the official zoo website to secure the best deal and up-to-date pricing[2].
