Things to know before booking your Parc Zoologique de Paris tickets
Booking window
Pre-book to save time: Purchase your ticket online to bypass the on-site ticket queue, which can add 10–30 minutes on busy days. Note that all visitors must still pass the security and bag-check process (As of 2024-08-01).
What’s included
Full public access: Your standard ticket provides one-day entry to all five biozones—including indoor areas like the Grande Serre—and access to scheduled keeper talks. It does not include food, souvenirs, or special guided tours.
Entrances & flow
Streamlined entry at Avenue Daumesnil: Enter through the main gate where tickets are scanned at turnstiles. Be prepared for a mandatory security screening that may take 5–20 minutes, depending on visitor flow (As of 2024-08-01).
Ways to explore
Self-guided discovery: Enjoy a flexible 3–4 hour visit across themed zones such as Sahel-Soudan, Guyane, Madagascar, Europe, and Patagonie. For extra context or language support, consider a guided upgrade via the Recommended experience link.
Policies & rules
Follow site guidelines: Standard security checks apply and prohibited items are not allowed. Tickets are non-refundable and while picnics are allowed in designated areas, pets (except assistance animals) are not permitted (As of 2024-08-01).
