Tickets

We’ve made some changes to Zoo tickets by introducing more options for visitors, including peak and off-peak tickets and great value ‘book-in-advance’ options for Aucklanders. Children under four years remain free and there are no changes to annual pass membership fees or school visits.

If you live in Auckland, you can continue to visit for the current adult ($24) price and child tickets will cost $14 on peak days (weekends, public and school holidays) – you’ll just need to book before midnight the day before your visit. You can also choose to book off-peak tickets in advance and pay a new lower price of $19 for an adult, and $11 for a child (4-14 years). If you prefer a flexible ticket (that you can use on any day for up to 3 months from the date of purchase), you will pay the new price of $29 for an adult and $16.50 for a child.

If you are a New Zealander living outside of Auckland, you will pay the full price of $35/adult and $20/child on peak days. We have also introduced a new price of $29/adult and $16.50/child for off-peak days for visitors who live outside Auckland, including international visitors.

We are making these changes to help us meet rising costs and reduce our reliance on ratepayer funding while maintaining subsidised entry fees for people in our local communities. This follows four years of reduced ticket pricing while building our South East Asia Jungle Track.

As part of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited (TAU) - a Auckland Council-Controlled Organisation – the Zoo has to play its part in helping TAU reach its target saving of $34.5m for the 2023/24 financial year, which means we can no longer subsidise entry fees for New Zealanders visiting from outside of Auckland.
