Frequently asked questions

How do I claim this offer?

This offer is available for tickets purchased online only. The discount is automatically applied to entry slots after 2pm between 8 and 30 September. We aren’t able to offer the discount on arrival at admissions.

How long is this offer available for?

Half-price tickets after 2pm runs daily from Monday 8 to Tuesday 30 September.

Can I pay less to visit the zoo before 2pm?

Sorry, no. This offer is afternoons only, to allow everyone a taste of the zoo but still provide great value to day visitors and members. The best value way to visit us earlier in the day is our Family Saver ticket, or membership for multiple visits.

What time does the zoo close?

We close at 5pm, and last entry is at 4pm. Last entry to Bear Wood is also at 4pm, so make sure you don't miss out!

Is 3 hours enough to see the whole zoo?

Bristol Zoo Project is a large site with lots to see, so it's unlikely you'll see everything in 3 hours! Our animals inhabit large, natural spaces so it can take a bit of time to spot them. We also have plenty of play areas where children may want to spend 45 minutes or more.

Check out our site map ahead of your visit to plan your time.

Annual membership is a great way to enjoy the zoo and support our charity year-round.
