Buy tickets for Cologne Zoo online.
The Cologne Zoo is currently closed.
- Day ticket vouchers (valid for 3 years) can still be purchased in our online ticket shop - e.g. also as a gift idea. Day and annual ticket vouchers that have already been purchased and unused will of course remain valid and can be redeemed for the period of the closure.
- Trial card vouchers can of course also be redeemed for the period of the closure. Redemption: Mondays to Fridays (excluding public holidays) after the zoo reopens.
- Of course, we will extend valid annual tickets and trial tickets that have expired during the zoo's closure for the period of the closure free of charge. This extension is attached immediately to the regular expiry date or this period is reactivated for annual tickets that have already expired. To activate / extend this period, please come to cash desk 5 or 6 at the main entrance after the zoo reopens. If you do not wish to be credited, we consider it your way of supporting us in view of the loss of income and thank you very much.
