4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The main entrance is located at 36 rue Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. While 'skip-the-line' tickets bypass the ticket office, all visitors must clear a mandatory Vigipirate security bag check which can create a wait during peak June hours. Look for the dedicated 'Avec Billet' (With Ticket) lane to avoid the onsite purchase queue. If you are already inside the Jardin des Plantes, you can access the building from the garden-side facade, but note that staff may consolidate all entry through the street-side doors during high-capacity periods. For the best experience, arrive 15 minutes before your reserved time slot and use the stairs to reach the upper balconies if the central elevators are congested.
- Price: The official benchmark for the permanent collection is €13 for adults, with a €10 reduced rate available on-site for eligible visitors. While partner prices match the €13 standard rate, they typically do not offer the free-entry tickets reserved for EU residents under 26 and children. Crucially, partner tickets now generally include the required timed-entry slot, saving you the extra step of reserving it separately on the official museum website.
- Discounts: Official entry for the permanent collection is approximately €13, with reduced rates of €10 for non-EU youth (3–25) and specific partner pass holders. Admission is free for EU residents under 26, all children under 3, disabled visitors with one companion, and French job seekers with valid documentation. For June 2026, all visitors—including those eligible for free entry—are required to reserve a mandatory timed-entry slot (selecting the 'Gratuit' or 'Free' option) on the official MNHN ticketing platform to guarantee access. On the day of your visit, you must present both your reservation and valid proof of entitlement (ID, student card, or disability certificate) at the entrance. Note that standard tickets typically cover only the permanent exhibition; the Children's Gallery (Galerie des Enfants) and temporary exhibitions usually require a separate or upgraded ticket.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket or are mobile tickets accepted?
Mobile tickets are fully accepted at the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution. You can simply show the barcode on your smartphone at the entrance. Note that a specific timed-entry slot is mandatory for all visitors to manage capacity.
What is the cancellation and refund policy for these tickets?
Official tickets purchased directly are typically non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If your travel plans are uncertain, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended, as they often provide a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.
How do I secure free entry for children or EU residents under 26?
EU residents under 26 and all children under 18 enter the permanent collections for free. However, you must still reserve a 'free' timed-entry slot on the official website to guarantee admission during the busy June season, and you must present a valid ID at the entrance.
Are there security checks and can I bring large bags or suitcases?
Yes, mandatory security checks (Vigipirate) are in place at the entrance. Large luggage and items exceeding 55 x 35 x 20 cm are strictly prohibited and cannot be stored on-site. Small lockers are available for standard backpacks and umbrellas only.
What happens if I arrive late for my scheduled time slot?
Entry is only guaranteed for your specific time slot. While there is often a small grace period of 15–30 minutes, late arrivals may be denied entry if the gallery is at maximum capacity. Aim to arrive at the Jardin des Plantes entrance 15 minutes early.
Is the Children's Gallery included in the standard ticket?
No, the Galerie des Enfants (Children's Gallery) and the Virtual Reality Cabinet require separate tickets or a supplement. The standard ticket covers the main four-level permanent collection, including the famous African Savannah animal caravan.
What is the best way to avoid the biggest crowds inside?
The ground floor and the first-floor 'Caravane' are the most congested areas. For a quieter experience, consider taking the elevator directly to the top floor (Level 3) to see the endangered species first, then work your way down as the crowds disperse.
