A gift for someone who wants to come back
Some people linger by the larger animals. Others spend time spotting the smaller ones. With an annual pass, the recipient can return to their favourites and discover something different on their next visit.
A Zoo Card is particularly suited to someone who enjoys animals and nature and can visit the Zoo more than once. Think about where the recipient lives, who they might bring and whether the gift is for one person or several. That makes it easier to choose the right gift voucher amount.
Christmas gifts for her: Follow her curiosity
Looking for a Christmas present for your mother, sister, partner or friend? Start with what she enjoys. A Zoo Card could suit someone who loves watching animals and would enjoy having a few more outings to look forward to.
She can spend time with the animals she's always been interested in or take a walk through the Zoo with a friend. An annual pass lets her explore at her own pace. Some days, there's time to see the whole Zoo. On others, a couple of stops may be enough.
Ask about her favourite animal and make that the starting point for your first visit together. There's no need to follow a set route.
A Zoo Card for an adult costs DKK 620 for the first year. The card is personal, so anyone accompanying her must have their own valid admission.
Christmas gifts for him: More time to take a closer look
Looking for a Christmas present for your father, brother, partner or friend? If he enjoys exploring the animal world, an annual pass gives him more opportunities to visit.
At Tropezoo, he can look for the sloth among the leaves. At Natzoo, he can discover animals that are active at night. He can explore on his own, spend longer with the animals that interest him and return another day.
To make the gift more personal, add a note suggesting a first visit together. Let him choose one stop, and choose the next one yourself. You'll have something to look for and talk about along the way.
A Zoo Card for an adult costs DKK 620 for the first year. If you're joining him, you'll also need valid admission to the Zoo.
Christmas gifts for children: Let their favourite animal lead the way
A child who has a favourite animal already has a reason to come back. With a Zoo Card, the next visit can begin with that animal and continue somewhere entirely different in the Zoo.
Let the child choose an animal to take a closer look at. Watch how it moves and what it does. On the next visit, something else might catch their attention. You can also visit Zoolab or Børnezoo and check the current programme for ideas.
A Zoo Card for a child aged 3–14 costs DKK 380 for the first year. It's worth checking with the child's parents who can take them on their visits. The accompanying adult must have their own valid admission.
Children under three enter free of charge. For younger children, a Zoo Card for a parent can therefore be a way to give the family more outings together.
Christmas gifts for the family: More visits to share
A Christmas gift for the whole family can be an invitation to spend time together. With individual Zoo Cards, the family can focus on just a few animals during one visit and save others for next time.
Take turns choosing where to start. One person might want to visit Tropezoo, while someone else heads for Børnezoo. When you know you can come back, it's easier to fit the visit around the weather, the time available and little legs.
First, count how many adults and children the gift needs to cover. Zoo Cards are personal, and each family member aged three or over needs their own card or other valid admission. Children under three enter free of charge.
Talk to the family about how often they would like, and be able, to visit the Zoo. Perhaps short weekday visits suit them best. Or perhaps they'd prefer to set aside a whole day at the weekend.
How much does a Zoo Card cost as a Christmas gift?
These are the prices for the first year. If the gift is for several people, add up the prices of their individual cards.
Who the gift is for | Price for the first year |
One child, aged 3–14 | DKK 380 |
One adult | DKK 620 |
Two adults | DKK 1.240 |
Two adults and two children, aged 3–14 | DKK 2.000 |
Children under three enter free of charge. The amounts for two or more people are examples based on several individual cards.
You can choose the gift voucher amount yourself. The recipient can use it towards a Zoo Card. If the card price changes before the voucher is redeemed, there may be a difference to pay.
How to give a Zoo Card as a gift
You can give a Copenhagen Zoo gift voucher that the recipient can use towards a personal Zoo Card.
Choose the amount in the gift voucher shop. Enter DKK 620 for an adult or DKK 380 for a child aged 3–14. If the gift should cover several new Zoo Cards, add the amounts together.
Receive the gift voucher by email. You can forward it to the recipient with a personal message.
Redeem the gift voucher for a Zoo Card. The recipient can use the voucher online or at the Zoo's entrance.
The gift voucher is valid for three years from the date of purchase. A personal Zoo Card gives access for 365 days. The gift voucher can also be used for other purchases at the Zoo, so the recipient can decide how to spend it.
A Christmas present delivered by email
The gift voucher is sent by email, so you can pass it on digitally. If you'd like something to put under the Christmas tree, write a card about the gift and your first visit to the Zoo together.
Read the gift voucher details in the shop before ordering.
