Regulations for kindergartens

Kindergartens and daycare centres with children who are not yet of school age pay the following admission fees for a visit to Wilhelma:

From 1 March to 31 October:
Children aged 6 and over: €6.50
Accompanying adult: €17.00*

From 1 November to 28 February:
Children aged 6 and over: £5.50
Accompanying adult: £15.00*

One accompanying adult is admitted free of charge for every five children.

This is subject to the group leader presenting a certificate (not a purchase authorisation) from their institution for the day of the visit, bearing a stamp or seal. This certificate must state the name of the group leader, the number of children under the age of six, the number of children over the age of six and the number of accompanying persons. If these conditions are not met, the group price will only be granted for 15 or more paying persons. In this case, only one accompanying person will receive free admission.

The following conditions apply to school classes:

  • Admission price per pupil: €7.50
  • Free admission for accompanying persons: One accompanying person is admitted free of charge for every 10 pupils.
  • Additional accompanying persons: £19.50 per person (group price)
  • Important: Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply an additional discount (e.g. through VVS Bonus) to the already reduced group rate.

Prices apply regardless of group size. School classes with fewer than 15 pupils must present a current school certificate.

Group tickets cannot be purchased in advance. You will receive your ticket directly at the ticket office on site as soon as the group arrives.

Advance registration is not required.

Since 1 March 2015, students of all disciplines have been paying the reduced student rate when visiting Wilhelma. Under certain conditions, Wilhelma supports courses for students by granting free admission.

Admission is free if:

  • The course has been announced in writing by the responsible lecturer to the executive office at least two weeks in advance. The date, group size and title of the course must be specified.
  • The lecturer accompanies the group.
  • The group arrives together at the ticket office. Anyone who arrives later must purchase a ticket.

Participants can present a valid student ID card upon request.

Please send your registration in good time with the above-mentioned information to: melanie.roempp@wilhelma.de. You will receive confirmation from us that your course has been registered.

On the day of the event, please gather all your students in front of the main ticket office so that the group can be admitted together. As the lecturer, please briefly introduce yourself to your colleagues at the ticket office. They will have received written information about your planned visit in advance.

Your contribution to species conservation

Admission prices as advertised include the Conservation Euro. This voluntary contribution amounts to € 1 per adult for day passes helping us to fund our wildlife conservation work around the world. If you do not wish to make this donation, you can opt out of this option during the booking process.

100 percent of the money collected through this initiative goes to projects supporting the preservation of endangered animals and their habitats.

The ticket booths at Wilhelma's main entrance close at 4 p.m., in winter season (November to February) at 3.30 p.m.. Later, day passes can still be purchased at the ticket machines until the park closes: at the main entrance, in front of parking lot and at the streetcar stop "Wilhelma".

Payment by EC or credit card is possible at the machines, but not with Familiencard-Stuttgart.

From March to October you can buy reduced evening tickets after 4 p.m. From November to February, when Wilhelma closes at 4.30 p.m., the reduced winter rates apply all day.

Annual passes are only available at the ticket offices, which close at 4 p.m. (in winter at 3.30 p.m.).

Please note our park rules. Out of consideration for other guests as well as for our animals and plants, some things are not allowed at Wilhelma, such as bringing dogs (except assistance dogs).

Discounts cannot be combined.

We are happy to answer your questions.
