Do young kids need a zoo ticket?

Kids up to age 5 get in free. Ages 6 to 17 pay €6, and a family day ticket (up to 2 adults and 4 kids aged 6 to 17) is €29.

Is there a cheaper afternoon rate?

Yes. In winter the zoo's late rate starts at 3pm: adults €9, ages 6 to 17 €4. That leaves about an hour of crafting before it wraps up.

Where do we buy tickets?

At the zoo ticket desks on Alfred-Brehm-Platz (cash or card) or in the zoo's online shop. Online tickets use a separate entrance, which is quicker on a busy Advent Sunday.

About

A yearly Advent tradition at Zoo Frankfurt. Inside the bird halls, kids make handmade gifts for family and friends, while parents have mulled wine and cookies nearby. It fits into a regular zoo day: craft for a while, then head back out to the animals. Best for preschool and primary-school kids who like making things; teens will find it young.

Zoo entry: adults €12, ages 6-17 €6
