Not sure which ticket to choose?
For the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes, the primary choice is between the official €13 entry and partner tickets that offer better cancellation flexibility. While standard digital tickets bypass the physical ticket office queue, all visitors must still clear the mandatory security check at the Jardin des Plantes entrance.

4 things to know before your visit
- Entrance: The Ménagerie has two primary access points: the 'Quai Saint-Bernard' entrance (riverside) and the 'Jardin' entrance (located inside the Jardin des Plantes near the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution). Digital tickets allow you to bypass the ticket office queue and proceed directly to the scan point, but all visitors must still clear a mandatory security bag check. For the shortest wait times, the Quai Saint-Bernard gate is often less congested than the internal park entrance, which attracts larger crowds from the main garden walkways.
- Price: Official adult tickets for the Ménagerie are priced at €13, while a reduced rate of €10 is available for all visitors aged 3–25, Education Pass holders, and French job seekers with valid proof. Children under 3 and visitors with disabilities (plus one companion) enter for free. Partner prices in our comparison typically match the €13 official benchmark; always compare the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
- Discounts: Children under 3, disabled visitors with one companion, and jobseekers/social benefit recipients enter free of charge. Reduced rates apply to visitors aged 3–25 (regardless of residency), students with valid ID, and French 'Pass Education' holders. Note that the Paris Museum Pass is NOT accepted at the Ménagerie. While paid tickets are timed, visitors entitled to free entry generally do not need to book a 'zero-euro' ticket online and can present proof of entitlement directly at the ticket desk or entrance.
- Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a "skip-the-line" ticket bypass the security queue?
No. While these tickets allow you to bypass the physical ticket office window, all visitors must still undergo mandatory security checks. Under the 2026 Vigipirate 'Urgence Attentat' posture, expect visual bag inspections at the entrance which may cause short delays during peak hours.
Can I get a refund if I cannot make my scheduled visit?
Official tickets are generally non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If you require flexibility, booking through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended, as they typically offer a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.
Do children and students qualify for free entry?
Children under 3 and disabled visitors (with one companion) enter for free with valid ID. Visitors aged 3–25 qualify for a reduced rate (approx. €10) regardless of residency; these reduced tickets are available online or at the onsite kiosks with proof of age.
Are mobile tickets accepted, or do I need to print them?
Digital tickets on smartphones are fully accepted at the Ménagerie. Ensure your phone's brightness is turned up and the QR code is ready for scanning at the turnstiles located inside the Jardin des Plantes.
Is there a place to store my luggage or large backpack?
No, there are no lockers or cloakrooms available at the Ménagerie. Due to national security regulations, large suitcases and bulky bags (exceeding 55x35x20cm) are strictly prohibited and will be denied entry at the security checkpoint.
Are the "Meet the Keepers" sessions included in the ticket price?
Yes, these educational talks (e.g., for red pandas at 16:15 or orangutans at 14:45) are included with your standard admission. They typically take place on Wednesdays, weekends, and daily during French school holidays, though they are usually conducted in French.
What is the best entrance to use for the zoo?
The Ménagerie is located inside the Jardin des Plantes. The most direct access is via the entrance at 57 Rue Cuvier or the gate at 2 Place Valhubert. Once inside the gardens, follow the signs for 'La Ménagerie' to reach the zoo's specific ticket-scanning point.
Why is the price on partner sites sometimes higher than the official rate?
Partner platforms like Tiqets or GetYourGuide may include a small service fee. In exchange, they provide benefits not always available on the official site, such as instant mobile confirmation, 24/7 customer support, and the ability to cancel your booking up to 24 hours in advance.
