Where should you park when visiting Belfast Zoo?

The practical answer

Belfast Zoo has **free on-site parking**, so there is normally no reason to leave the car elsewhere on the Antrim Road.

The zoo lists **more than 300 spaces in the upper car park** and about **80 spaces in the lower car park**. If someone in your group has reduced mobility, aim for the parking closest to the **Visitor Centre**, where accessible bays are provided.

There is also an EV charging point close to the Visitor Centre entrance. For sat-nav, Belfast Zoo gives the postcode **BT36 7PN**.

Because the zoo is built on a hillside, the exact place you leave the car matters more here than at a flat attraction. Parking higher up can reduce unnecessary climbing before you even enter the zoo, particularly for families with small children or visitors with mobility concerns.
