About this tour

Spend a day among wide-open landscapes and remarkable wildlife with a Whipsnade Zoo entry ticket. Lions, tigers, rhinos, elephants, hippos, and giraffes roam spacious outdoor enclosures, while moose, European bison, and lynx offer a glimpse of species once common in Britain. The Asian elephants have a custom-designed Centre for Elephant Care, and the penguin pool brings rockhopper and African black-footed penguins into view against the Chiltern Downs. Step inside the aquarium to explore underwater habitats, then warm up in the tropical Butterfly House, where colorful butterflies flutter all around. Families can also make time for the 7,800 m² themed play area, with bridges, swings, climbing frames, tunnels, sand play, and a mini safari jeep. Whipsnade Zoo is a spacious day out with plenty to discover at your own pace. Book your Whipsnade Zoo entry ticket and set off for a wildlife-filled visit.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.96 from 23 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.0.
