Blackpool Zoo Entrance Fee: Latest Ticket Prices & Discounts

Planning a day out at Blackpool Zoo? Understanding the Blackpool Zoo entrance fee and ticket options in advance will help you budget and secure the best value for your visit.

All prices and details below are taken directly from the official Blackpool Zoo website and checked against trusted ticket partners where relevant.


Standard Blackpool Zoo Entrance Fees (Booked Online)

Blackpool Zoo uses date-based pricing, so entrance fees vary depending on the day you visit. The zoo clearly states that the best prices are available when you book online in advance through the official Blackpool Zoo booking page.

On the official site, ticket prices are presented as “from” amounts, meaning they are starting prices and may be higher on peak dates.

As of the latest information on the official site:

Because Blackpool Zoo uses flexible pricing, you should always check your exact date on the official booking calendar for the current Blackpool Zoo entrance fee.


On-the-Day Ticket Prices

The zoo clearly states that gate/on-the-day prices are higher than online prices. While exact on-the-day fees are not listed in a separate table, the official ticket page notes that “gate prices are higher than online prices” and encourages visitors to book ahead online to save money.

  • School visits
  • Corporate groups and events

The official site directs group organisers to dedicated pages:

Group ticket prices and packages may vary depending on group size, date, and type of visit. Blackpool Zoo advises contacting them directly or using the enquiry forms on those pages for exact up-to-date pricing.


Blackpool Zoo Opening Times (Affects Validity of Entrance Fee)

While not directly an entrance fee, the zoo’s opening times are important when planning your visit to get maximum value from your ticket.

From the official Opening Times page:

  • Blackpool Zoo is open every day except Christmas Day.
  • Opening hours vary by season (typically earlier opening and later closing in summer).
  • Last admission is generally one hour before closing, but you should check the specific time for your chosen date.

Always confirm opening times for your visit date on the official calendar, as hours can change seasonally or due to special events.


Parking Fees at Blackpool Zoo

Parking is not included in the standard Blackpool Zoo entrance fee.

The official site states that parking is managed by Blackpool Council and a parking charge applies. According to the Plan Your Visit – Parking page:

  • A parking fee is payable via pay-and-display machines or RingGo.
  • Charges and methods of payment are set by the council and may change.

Check the official parking information or the local authority website before arrival for the latest parking charges.


Best Way to Get the Lowest Blackpool Zoo Entrance Fee

Based on the official information:

  1. Book online in advance via the official booking system, as online prices are lower than gate prices.
  2. Avoid peak days where possible, as the flexible pricing model may increase the entrance fee on busy dates.
  3. Consider membership if you plan multiple visits; compare the annual membership price with how many standard visits you expect.
  4. Check for group discounts if visiting with a large party or school.
