Admission prices and tickets

Useful information for your visit

• The Conservation Euro is a voluntary contribution to species conservation. 100% of contributions are donated to field projects. The Conservation Euro is automatically added to the admission price. Nursery and school groups are excluded from this. Visitors who prefer not to pay this contribution must inform ticket office staff of this BEFORE PAYMENT IS MADE. In that case, the Conservation Euro would then be deducted from the admission price. The contribution cannot be refunded once payment has been made.
