We are turning 120 years old! Yes, we have been around for donkey years, and we cannot wait to have a whale of a time with you. From the tiniest ants to the mightiest roars of our incredible animals, Joburg Zoo has been a hub of excitement and adventure for generations.
For over a century, Joburg Zoo has been dedicated to world-class conservation, education, and creating unforgettable moments for visitors. We invite you, the vibrant citizenry, to be a part of this historic celebration as we mark 120 years of wild memories.
In the spirit of celebration, Joburg Zoo is dropping its entrance prices to an unbelievable R20 for everyone from 1 to 29 March. But that's not all! We're extending the celebration to everyone born in March with free entry from 1 to 29 March 2024.
