Member hour early opening

Gold Members, Fellows and Patrons can explore London Zoo during a special hour before general opening.

The 18 October opening focuses on Gorilla Kingdom, with a keeper talk and Q&A. The 21 March 2027 opening is announced without a species/activity bill. Eligible supporters enter 09:00–09:30; the early hour ends at general opening 10:00. No prebooking, membership card required. Fellows may bring one guest and Primary Patrons two. A separate 11:00–14:00 member library opening is supplementary and is not an extra Zoo performance. May, July and October 2027 dates are beyond the rolling window.
