At Whipsnade Zoo, you also have the unusual option of taking your car into the attraction for an additional charge. Remember that Whipsnade is a zoo NOT a safari park so you will not actually be in with the animals. However this option does allow you to drive around the zoo on stipulated roads, observing a 10mph speed limit, as well as having the option to park up within the attraction. Please note that car entry is purchased on arrival and cannot be pre-booked.
As Whipsnade Zoo is set within 600 acres of parkland, this does offer you a convenient way to make your way around the attraction. However, do remember there is a FREE hop on/hop off bus within the zoo that offers you a cheaper alternative to reach all areas of the zoo.
Look out for discounted parking charges for Gold Memberships or FREE parking perks for Patrons & Fellows. During the winter season, you can take your car into the setting for a discounted fee.

I am soon to be 60 do you offer any discounts for the over60s
Hi Richard, thank you for your query regarding Whipsnade Zoo. Whilst we are independent of Whipsnade Zoo, (we simple let you know where all the deals & discounts are for top UK visitor attractions), I can see that Whipsnade do offer a senior concessionary rate for those age 60 years or over. You will need to provide supporting documentary evidence on the day of your visit and these concessionary rates are only available at the gate.
