Price increase in the Erfurt Zoo: New tariffs from August 2025!

Erfurt, Deutschland - On August 1, 2025, the Erfurt zoo attracts prices and adapts its ticket prices after a comprehensive evaluation. The city council decided on June 25, 2023. Zoochef Jan Schleinitz justifies the price adjustment with the increased costs, which have grown considerably since the last adjustment in April 2019. This means that the Thuringian Zoopark remains one of the cheapest zoos in Germany despite the new prices. The zoo generates around 2.7 million euros annually through ticket sales and receives an urban subsidy of 4.5 million euros, which also serves to cover the operating costs.

For the new prices, it is concrete from August:

• Adults: 17 euros (previously 15 euros)
• reduced: 12 euros (previously 10 euros)
• Children: 9.50 euros (previously 7.50 euros)
