Best time to visit the ZSL London Zoo

Weekday vs Weekend

#
  • Weekdays: Weekdays generally see fewer visitors compared to weekends. With fewer people around, you might find it easier to enjoy the animals without as much noise. Attractions and activities may have shorter waiting times.
  • Weekends: Weekends tend to attract families and groups, creating a livelier and more energetic atmosphere. Some attractions might have extended opening hours on weekends. Plus, they can be a great time to connect with fellow visitors.

Peak season vs low season

#
  • Peak season (March to October): The weather is more favorable, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for outdoor exploration. London Zoo often extends its opening hours, plus you can expect many special events, educational programs, and animal feedings.
  • Low season (November to February): Expect a quieter and more peaceful experience with fewer crowds. The lower visitor numbers during the off-peak months provide an excellent chance for photography enthusiasts. While the weather might be cooler, the zoo often provides indoor exhibits and cozy areas to explore, ensuring a comfortable visit.
