Auckland Zoo welcomes general visitors and annual members at Traffic Light ORANGE of the Covid-19 Protection Framework.

In line with government recommendations, you no longer need a vaccine pass to visit Auckland Zoo. As of Thursday 14 April face masks are no longer mandatory, but we do recommend visitors continue to wear them indoors and outside

Get Zoo Ready Essentials

  1. Pre-book online: We recommend that everyone needing a day pass purchase in advance online here to save time when you arrive! Tickets are valid for 3 months from date of purchase. Members can visit the Zoo without pre-booking their visit in advance.
  2. Wear your mask: While face masks are no longer required, we strongly recommend wearing masks outdoors too (except for those with medical exemptions, or while eating or drinking because you’ll make a mess!).
  3. Physical distancing: Although most of the Zoo is outdoors, it’s still a good idea to keep at lion’s length (2m) apart from other visitors, especially if you’re not wearing your mask.
  4. Play it safe: If you’re feeling unwell, have visited a place of interest, are waiting on test results, are a close contact of a person confirmed to have COVID-19, or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, please stay at home and call Healthline on 0800 611 116.

Visitors will be refused entry if they have symptoms of COVID-19.

Ways we’re helping to keep you safe

  1. Closed areas: Some areas where it’s not possible to physically distance, are closed. These include our red-tailed black cockatoo habitat and Kidzone.
  2. Hygiene and physical distancing: As well as our extensive cleaning schedule, we have installed hand-sanitiser stations throughout the Zoo along with NZ COVID-19 Tracer QR Code posters, so you can scan in. Plus, look out for the paw prints and friendly signs to physically distance by your pride a ‘lion’s length (2m) from others!
  3. Keeper talks and Tamariki Time: Due to physical distancing challenges, all our keeper talks remain on hold, as do our Tamariki Time activities.
  4. The Zoo Shop: The Zoo shop will be open to all Zoo visitors and non-visitors alike – come in and browse!

Auckland Zoo’s COVID-19 terms and conditions of entry may be amended based on any Government direction
