Access and Tickets
Q: Can I buy my tickets directly at the zoo?
A: No, you can only purchase tickets by going to our online ticketing service. We have limited the number of visitors per day to allow for physical distancing.
Some exceptions apply. If one of the following cases concerns to you, you must present yourself at the zoo’s ticket counter on the day of your visit, without reserving your place beforehand:
- Life membership
- Prepaid tickets, including Tuango and Boxing Zoo
- Pass owner (VIP pass, Zoomobile)
- Hotel prepaid tickets
- A person with physical disability with their attendant
Q: I have a pass (VIP pass) valid for the summer of 2020, how can I reserve a date for my visit?
A: You won’t need to reserve your date online. You must present yourself directly at the zoo’s ticket counter the day of your visit. Every day, we reserve a few places for this type of situation.
Q: Can I buy a membership?
A: No. there are no memberships available this season due to the imposed limited number of visitors allowed. Please be aware that we have attempted to include a membership offer this season, but that the operational constraints regarding the sanitary measures to apply literally make this offer unmanageable at the moment. This is obviously a reflection that we maintain for the coming seasons, the sanitary measures changing frequently and quickly.
Q: I have a 2020 summer membership, is it valid for the 2020 season?
A: We’re sorry but no. You won’t be able to use your membership this summer. It will be automatically transferred to the summer of 2021. If you have any further questions, please contact our client services by calling 1 877 472-6299.

Q: I presently own Tuango or Boxing Zoo tickets that were valid for the winter of 2019–2020. Can I still use them?
A: Two options are possible:
- You can keep them for next winter. We will extend their validity for the entire 2020–2021 winter period. Simply go directly to a ticket booth on the day of your visit.
