Overview
- Tierpark Hellabrunn announced Monday that it will raise day‑entry prices in two staged steps, effective 1 October 2026 and 1 October 2027.
- Adult single‑day tickets will go from €20 to €23 on 1 October 2026 and to €25 on 1 October 2027, with reduced, child and family tickets increased on the same two‑step schedule while annual passes remain unchanged.
- Director Rasem Baban said the adjustment follows sustained rises in operating, energy, feed, veterinary and personnel costs and comes after internal efficiency efforts aimed at cutting expenses.
- The park noted the staged approach was chosen to limit visitor impact, but some categories face double‑digit percentage jumps that will raise out‑of‑pocket costs for families and concession holders.
- Hellabrunn is also moving ahead with a state‑funded €18 million panda enclosure, and even after the hikes its adult day price will stay below or near rates at several larger German zoos.
