The entrance fee and other costs you may have to incur are very affordable for adults and children.<\/p>\n

It is a norm that before visiting a place, you make inquiries. This is why we have taken time to put down everything you need to know about the Johannesburg Zoo – the entrance fee, the kind of animals they have, and all other recreational activities that you can have fun doing at the zoo – aside from playing with the animals. So if you want to visit the zoo and wish to know more about it, you should stick with this post to the end.<\/p>\n

Johannesburg Zoo Entrance Fee Is Very Affordable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Johannesburg<\/a><\/p>\n

The Johannesburg Zoo is an amazing place to visit for both adults and children. The Zoo is opened all days of the week and runs throughout the year, so you do not have to worry about visiting on the wrong day. But to enjoy all the fun and get the best view of nature and African wildlife, you will have to pay some rands as a gate fee, and this fee differs for both adults, children, students, and pensioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Category<\/strong><\/td>\nEntrance Ticket Fee<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Adult<\/td>\nR100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Children<\/td>\nR60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Students<\/td>\nR65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pensioners<\/td>\nR60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

As a student, if you wish to pay R65, then be sure to come to the zoo with a valid students’ ID card, as that will serve as proof that you are actually a student.\u00a0Also, you must keep in mind that from 4 pm, sales of entrance tickets will be closed, so do well to come on time to get your ticket early and also to make the best of it, before the zoo closes for the day.<\/p>\n

What Is The Best Time To Visit The Zoo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like you already know, the Johannesburg Zoo is open for the entire 365 days in the year, but their operating time is from 8:30 am – 5:30 pm every day. While it is just fine to visit the zoo at any time within their operating hours, you should visit when the animals have been feed.<\/p>\n

This is because it is this time that the animals, which are the major point of attraction, will be active and willing to engage with visitors. Here is a list of the feeding time of different animals – it may guide you on when to visit the zoo, depending on the animals you will love to spend more time admiring and playing with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Vultures<\/td>\nFed for public view on Sundays by 11 am<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

But then, if you will love to see when the animals are feed and how they eat, it is fine to visit in the morning by 8:30 am, especially if you have dedicated your entire day to having fun at the Johannesburg Zoo.<\/p>\n
