Edinburgh: Reduced price tickets at Edinburgh Zoo for those on Universal Credit/income-related ESA, working tax credit and income support


We want to help as many people as possible to experience a day out at the zoo and learn how we can all protect, value and love nature. We also know how hard things are for many people right now, especially for those on low incomes. 

This is why have made reduced price tickets available online for those currently on Universal Credit, income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), Housing Benefit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Income Support.

These tickets are available for up to six people per household and proof of receipt of one of the above benefits must be brought along on the day. To qualify you must have received a payment in the last month and you will be asked for named ID (for example, passport, driving license or bank card).

You must book these tickets online in advance – you cannot walk up to the zoo and buy as only full price tickets are available on the gate. We will be allocating tickets flexibly to ensure a great experience for all.

For more information 👉 Universal Credit tickets (edinburghzoo.org.uk)
