We’re extending our opening hours for three Saturdays in July! Soak in the sights and sounds as twilight settles in. Entry is reduced after 5pm to £15 per adult and £10 per child.

This is a ZOOnique opportunity to see your favourite animals and enjoy the zoo after hours. Tickets are subject to availability, so make sure you don't miss out! Those visiting during the day are welcome to stay into the night at no extra cost and RZSS members go free.

More time to explore

Food and drink will be available to purchase throughout the evening, and our gift shop will remain open so you can take home a special souvenir!

Please note, your late-night ticket permits you entry from 5pm, with last entry at 8pm. The zoo will close at 9pm.

Some of our animals need more quiet time than others, so some of our animal houses will close earlier. If you have any questions, check out our FAQs.
