Upgrading Zoo Tickets to Membership
Visitors can upgrade their Zoo tickets to membership within 14 days of their visit and only pay the difference. To upgrade, visitors need to decide on the type of membership (Gold or Silver) and payment method (annual Direct Debit or one-off card payment).
For those paying by annual Direct Debit, an online form needs to be filled out, while for one-off card payments, visitors need to contact the Zoo directly.
Additional Information
Here are some additional details about the London Zoo membership:
- Membership is for use by the named holder only and is not transferable under any circumstances.
- Any misuse of a Membership card will result in it being indefinitely confiscated with no refund.
- Membership card photocopies are not valid, and members must bring their Membership card along for each visit, as this is their entry ticket to the Zoos.
- If a member loses their Membership card, a replacement can be obtained for a charge of £5. If the card has been stolen, the member needs to contact the Supporter Contact team and provide them with their crime reference number.
- Members can change their Membership once it’s already started by calling the Supporter Contact team and paying a pro-rata payment to upgrade to Gold or to add new members to their Membership.
- Members can also downgrade from Gold to Silver Membership once their Membership year is completed.
- For members with disabilities, adult members who are registered disabled are entitled to concession Membership rates. At London Zoo, an essential carer enters free with each disabled member, while at Whipsnade Zoo, each disabled member is eligible for free car entry or free carer entry. Members need to bring along their supporting documents that show they require a carer on their first visit.
By understanding the various membership options, benefits, and additional details, visitors can make an informed decision on the best London Zoo membership for their needs and budget.
