Highland Wildlife Park Tickets

Book online ahead for school holidays and busy weekends. The park recommends advance timed booking, and holiday slots can sell out.

For most first visits, standard daytime admission is enough. It already includes the walking areas, the drive-through reserve, and standard daily talks or activities when operating.

Choose a Reserve Ranger Tour only if live commentary and deeper wildlife interpretation matter to you. It adds guided reserve insight, while standard entry gives you more freedom to move at your own pace.

Allow 3 to 6 hours when choosing a slot. Late entry can feel rushed because last entry is typically one hour before closing.

Check the month-specific closing time before you pick an afternoon ticket. The park typically opens daily from 10am, but seasonal closing can vary from about 4pm to 6pm.

If you’re not staying nearby, sort transport before booking. The park is rural, and self-driving is much easier than trying to fit rail, taxi, or limited bus links around a timed entry.

Online tickets do not remove every wait. They mainly skip the onsite purchase line, so still leave time for admissions scanning and possible café or reserve-entry bottlenecks on busy days.

As of May 2026, standard tickets are roughly £25 for adults, £18.70 for children, and £22.50 for concessions. Compare that with your visit plans before considering RZSS membership.
