Opening Times & Prices
You’re very welcome to buy tickets on arrival at Pensthorpe. Below you’ll find our opening times and ticket prices to help you plan your visit.
This year, we’ve worked hard to keep visiting Pensthorpe as accessible as possible. In some areas, that has meant reducing prices rather than increasing them, while continuing to invest in the park, wildlife and visitor experience.
Prices vary depending on the time of year and what we have on offer. We’ve colour-coded the table below to make our different pricing periods easy to see at a glance.
If you’re planning to visit more than once, our membership offers unlimited visits, plus 10% off in the café and shop, for around the price of a coffee and cake each month.
