Free entry days

Korkeasaari Zoo is open every day of the year, and outside the summer season it is also possible to visit the zoo free of charge on free entry days. We want as many people as possible to visit Korkeasaari Zoo and learn about biodiversity and its conservation!

On free days the zoo is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the entrance closing at 3 p.m. We reserve the right to change the schedule and limit the number of visitors if necessary. Pre-booking for free days is not possible.

Free days take place on Mondays once a month, from October to March.

Please note that buses on route 16 may be very full, especially in the morning. The least congested route is the metro via Kalasatama. From Kalasatama metro station it is about a one kilometre walk to the entrance of Korkeasaari. Car parking is available in Kalasatama at the Redi shopping centre and Mustikkamaa.

Group visits on a free day

Groups are also welcome to visit on free entry days if the number of visitors for the day is not already full. We do not accept advance reservations for groups on free days.

With an annual pass you can visit the zoo every day

If you want to visit Korkeasaari Zoo more often, on days that suit your schedule, you should get an annual pass! You save money compared to single admission tickets after just a few visits. The Annual Pass is valid for one year from the date of activation, even for events where normal ticket prices apply. The Annual Pass also entitles you to discounts at Korkeasaari Zoo’s restaurants and shops.
