Besides unlimited access to Antwerp ZOO and Planckendael, with your ZOO pass you will enjoy a cartload of great deals. We decided to make a list, because there are a lot of them!
Up to 365 days unlimited access to Antwerp ZOO and Planckendael.
With your pass, the gates of two animal kingdoms will swing open for you. You are always welcome in Antwerp ZOO and Planckendael, whenever and as often as you like: up to 365 days a year, since both zoological parks are opened every single day.
During the magical morning hour the zoo will be all yours
While ordinary visitors are not allowed in before 10 am, you will be welcome in Antwerp ZOO and Planckendael as early as 9 am. And believe us, it is a real must.
The magical morning hour
The early hour before visiting time is pure magic. You hear all the animals waking up; you see the zookeepers at work in the animal enclosures and the gardeners busily working along the paths. But otherwise, there's not a soul around. It feels like you have the zoo all to yourself.
By the way, did you know that early in the morning most animals are much more active than during the day? Maybe the meerkats are playing practical jokes, or the lion is just starting his morning exercises?

Bring your grandchild along for just € 5.50
We worked out an attractive formula for our proud grandparents holders of a ZOO pass: the grandchildren's card. You only pay € 55 for a ten-entry card. This allows you to come ten times with one grandchild, or once with ten grandchildren.
Big grandchildren
Actually, you should understand the word 'child' in the broad sense. The card is indeed valid for offsprings up to and including 17 year olds. Your little pride and joy under 3 years get in free.

With your ZOO pass, the ZOOmagazine is delivered automatically and free of charge into your letter box. This beautiful magazine will fully update you on the ups and downs of our animals. Fascinating articles and beautiful pictures will tell you all about life in our zoos, our scientific research and our conservation projects. Don't forget that it also features prominently the special offers available to members!
