The London Zoo's Must-See Animal Attractions
Over 700 species of wildlife survive and thrive at London Zoo, which has been one of the city's top attractions since 1847. At such a famous site, it can be hard to know when to start - here are some tips.
Penguin Beach
Visit the largest penguin pool in England, created with a South American ecosystem in mind. Spot the Rockhopper penguins, recognizable from their wacky hairstyles!
Rainforest Life
Creatures of the rainforest have to live in humid conditions, so London Zoo has built a special greenhouse for them. Hang out with the cute monkeys and sloths!
Night Life
An extra part of Rainforest Life, this could be your one chance to see some nocturnal animals! Counted among the elusive beasties are armadillos and slow lorises.
Land of the Giants
Giant turtles are just some of the amazing reptiles and amphibians you can marvel at here.
Spiders Talk
If you aren't afraid of creepy crawlies, the daily meet-and-greet with these friendly, furry tarantulas will be up your street.
Our insider tips
Temporary exhibitions
London Zoo has many temporary exhibitions and seasonal activities, so as well as the tips we've listed here, don't forget to check out the website to see what's on during your visit.
Sun protection
You'll be spending a lot of the day outside, so if it's sunny out - or even if the sun is just hiding behind a cloud - make sure you are adequately protected and drink lots of water.
Peaceful visit
If you prefer to have a quieter visit, try to go on a weekday afternoon - you'll have missed the morning rush and many would-be visitors will be at school or work.
Animals have feelings too
Last but not least, the zoo is home to these animals! Although you may think they are used to visitors, don't shriek at them or do anything else that might annoy them - if you have kids, make sure they're on their best behavior.

What people are saying about London Zoo
Great all in one pass into all the major attractions of London!!!
Easy and convenient to not have to buy tickets but just scan the pass to get in :-). Great value for money if you do a lot of things and go to a lot of attractions in the period of time that you purchase the pass for. We went on Easter Weekend so there were a lot of lines everywhere which took an hour to get into anything so we made a tiny bit less use of the pass. But it still worked out to be better value than buying it all individually. And helped us simply tick the major attractions off our list for London and made us feel like we really saw the important things in London with the pass! Only thing is that we had to go collect our physical passes from a place near Leicester Square in the morning so that also ate up a chunk of time and cost just getting there. So prepare for that chunk of time to pick it up instead of going straight to your first activity. It would be great if they could email a voucher or the passes to us instead.
As long as it is used educationally not as a theme park
I had reservations about taking my 4 year old granddaughter to a zoo but I wanted her to see and appreciate what we have close up. Zoos have a definate ability to inform and enthralled. The information is definately there and the staff are great. Just wish more took the time to observe. Restaurant was above average... come on though.... throw away plastic cutlery and cups.. really?
You do skip the line after you've gone through the first line
Basically there is a pre paid tickets line which you wait in, but then you branch off into a kiosk where the guy let's you straight through whilst the other pre paid people que for ages, mobile app was pretty cool too, great zoo aswell
it was great fun going to London zoo for the first time
My daughter love it so much she enjoy watching penguins show and seeing all the animals and playing at the play ground having a face painting and going on miracle round the only thing she didn't see is elephants & giraffe
What a fabulous day out for us and the grandkids
Sadly missed seeing the tiger and really should have been at the zoo first thing as a whole day is needed! Your restaurant staff were so friendly and really helpful
