How ticket pricing works

Plitvice Lakes National Park ticket prices depend on season, visitor age, and the visit program you choose. The park uses seasonal pricing—so the same experience can cost differently in peak summer vs off-season.

Before travelling, check the current price list and rules on the official park website (np-plitvicka-jezera.hr). This guide is informational; always confirm final price and terms on the official source.

Online purchase and time slots

In season, buying tickets online is practical—it reduces waiting risk and helps you plan arrival. Choose entrance, date, and time according to your walking plan.

Purchase only through official park channels. If you stay in Lika, align departure from your accommodation with your booked slot—an early start often means a calmer visit.

What to check before paying

Confirm which entrance is included (e.g. Entrance 1 or 2), opening hours for that day, and rules for children, students, or groups if discounts apply.

After purchase, save confirmation on your phone and plan parking and arrival. For stays near the park, check accommodation availability and book your dates directly with us.
