A DIFFERENT FAMILY DAY
Pafos Zoo: plan your visit
Choose a dedicated zoo visit in Peyia or combine it with a Blue Lagoon cruise. These are very different days: compare the time at the zoo, transport and what is included before you book.
The GetYourGuide option below is a full-day zoo-and-cruise package, not a standalone zoo entrance ticket. Photos, current prices and dates come from GetYourGuide. Booking and payment take place there; we may earn commission at no extra cost to you.
| Visit style | What changes | Plan for |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone zoo visit | Set your own pace at the zoo; admission and transfer choices are available direct. | Arrange travel both ways and check the current opening schedule. |
| Zoo and Blue Lagoon package · about 8 hours | Zoo admission, lunch, guiding and a cruise in one organised outing. | Select Paphos pickup; less independent time and a full day away. |
Zoo-only or a full day out?
A dedicated zoo visit lets you set your own pace and leave when your group is ready. The combined trip adds lunch, road travel to Latchi and a cruise; it is a full-day commitment. If the zoo is the main reason for going, do not buy a combined package simply because it is the first available offer.
Getting to the zoo from your hotel
Pafos Zoo is in the Peyia area, on Xylomantrou Street near Agios Georgios, rather than beside Paphos harbour. The zoo offers admission and transfer-ticket choices through its own booking system. Transfer schedules vary by season and the confirmed pickup details arrive after booking. Check both journeys before choosing a ticket; avoid relying on old shuttle timetables reproduced elsewhere.
Give the visit room to breathe
The zoo describes birds, mammals and reptiles across its grounds, along with a parrot and owl presentation. Pick a few priorities and leave time between them instead of promising to see everything. Ask directly about walking surfaces, shade, pushchairs or mobility needs that matter to your group. Use the zoo’s current schedule for opening and presentation times.
What the combined ticket changes
The featured package includes admission, lunch, guiding and a cruise, with Paphos and Limassol pickup options. Select Paphos for a Paphos stay. It does not include snorkelling equipment or infant meals. A boat stop is optional swimming time, not a swimming lesson; check boarding and participation requirements with the operator.
If a combined departure is unavailable
Plan a standalone visit using the zoo’s official admission options, or choose a separate boat day. Keeping the two outings apart can work better for a short attention span or a group wanting more time at the zoo. For current standalone tickets and transfer choices, use the official zoo booking information below.
