Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor the quietest visit, choose a winter weekday, preferably in the morning or late afternoon; the park describes winter as a less busy period and recommends morning or end-of-day visits for visitors with visual impairments. Seasonal hours vary: off-season opening is 10:00–17:00, while peak-season weekdays generally run 09:30–18:00 and peak-season weekends, public holidays and school holidays extend to 19:30; last admission is one hour before closing.
EntranceParis Zoological Park has one entrance at the junction of Avenue Daumesnil and Route de la Ceinture du Lac Daumesnil. Metro Line 8 and Tram T3 stop at Porte Dorée, about a 7-minute walk from the entrance. Allow for security screening first; the ticket office is after the access control, followed by the turnstiles. Bags or suitcases larger than 55 × 35 × 20 cm are not permitted, and there is no luggage storage.
PriceThe visible offer is the Official site’s “Full price (from age 13)” ticket at 22 EUR. Compare the final checkout total and the listed inclusions before paying.
DiscountsEvery visitor needs an admission ticket, including visitors entitled to free entry. Children under 3 are free, but they still need a ticket and must show proof of age; this is the only free ticket available online. Other free-admission visitors must obtain their ticket on site at the ticket office on the day of the visit with the required proof, so they do not use an online timed-entry ticket. Reduced admission is available for eligible visitors such as children aged 3–12, jobseekers with valid documentation, Education Pass holders and qualifying groups; bring the relevant proof and photo ID where required. Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult over 18 who also holds an admission ticket.
Planning your visit
Paris Zoological Park (Parc Zoologique de Paris), historically known as Zoo de Vincennes and Vincennes Zoo, occupies a large site beside the Bois de Vincennes in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. Its landmark Le Grand Rocher helps orient visitors around the animal habitats and viewpoints.
The route is organised into Biozones that represent different regions rather than separate small exhibits. The Sahel-Sudan biozone features African species, while the Madagascar biozone focuses on wildlife from the island. The Amazon-Guyana biozone offers a tropical setting, and the Patagonia biozone presents animals from South America. The Giraffe herd is one of the most recognisable stops, and the Grand Serre Tropicale provides a covered area for tropical plants and species.
Paris Zoo admission tickets are useful for avoiding the on-site ticket-office queue, but a Skip-the-line entrance ticket does not remove the security check required at every entrance. The Animal feeding schedule and Keeper talks and presentations change through the year, while Zoo guided tours provide a more structured way to explore the habitats. The Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle publishes the visitor information connected with the site.
Porte Dorée metro station on line 8 is less than 10 minutes on foot from the entrance. Tram T3a Porte Dorée also stops about 7 minutes away. Zoo opening hours and seasonal schedule change between high season and winter, and Wheelchair and stroller accessibility is supported with accessible routes plus wheelchair and stroller services on request.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Security screening takes place at every entrance, and items larger than 55 cm × 35 cm × 20 cm are prohibited; Paris Zoological Park (Parc Zoologique de Paris) has no luggage storage or lockers.
- Free and reduced-entry visitors must obtain their ticket on site by presenting the required proof, so an online full-price ticket does not replace the documentation check at the ticket office.
- Last admission is one hour before closing, so arriving late can substantially shorten the visit even when the park is still open.
- Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult over 18 who also holds an admission ticket.
- Paris Zoological Park (Parc Zoologique de Paris) has no dedicated car park; nearby parking is limited and generally paid, including on Sundays.
- Pushchair rental is available, but payment is made at the ticket office and an identity document is required as a deposit.
