Family days out at London Zoo

Family days out at London Zoo are packed with wild adventures to keep your little cubs busy. 

Kids will love discovering the thousands of animals at the Zoo (we’ve got our very own cheeky monkeys, chatterboxes and mucky pups!) and the whole family can get up close to our animals in amazing walk-through habitats and underwater penguin viewing.

Don’t miss talks throughout the day from expert Zookeepers to learn more about our amazing animals before refuelling with a snack or tasty lunch at one of cafes. Or, while the little ones roam in the Animal Adventure play area, grown-ups can grab a well-earned break at the next-door Peckish Parrot kiosk. 

So, what are you waiting for? With child tickets 30% off standard adult prices, and  kids under 3 completely free, book London Zoo today for a wild family day out of exploring that’ll keep your whole herd happy.
