FULL DESCRIPTION
Formerly known as the Bois de Vincennes Zoological Park, Parc Zoologique de Paris underwent 27 months of refurbishment work before reopening in 2014. All animal habitats were grouped into five biozones, so as you travel through the park, you’ll be going from Europe to Madagascar, and Africa to Patagonia. There’s also an Amazon zone or AmaZone if you want to save time on pronunciation. In Africa, you can expect sightings of lions, giraffes, and zebras (in the same biozone, but unluckily for the lions, not in the same enclosure). Europe has wolves, lynxes, otters, the Amazon zone has jaguars, monkeys, and macaws, Patagonia has penguins, pumas, and pudus (and other animals whose names don’t begin with ‘p’).

Let’s just say that if you’re an animal lover, you’ll find plenty here to put a smile on your face. While you’re on your way here, keep an eye out for the Big Rock. This is a 65m-tall artificial mini-mountain, which is an iconic symbol of the Parc Zoologique de Paris!
Catching a glimpse of it means you’re nearing an encounter with wild animals – including giraffes, rhinos, ring-tailed lemurs, seals and young lions. These Parc Zoologique de Paris tickets put you right into the heart of an animal-centric adventure. Don’t forget your camera.

Was fantastic, perfect size Zoo with many great animals, expertly laid out. Cafe food was brilliant and reasonably priced. Was very relaxed and saw most animals. Would highly recommend a visit. Kids loved it.

Great I loved it, the food was lovely too. Only thing is uneven ground but that’s probably my clumsy self 🥲. But it was lovely and everything exactly what I needed to feel great about my passion with animals!
Millie – United Kingdom
I love this Zoo. Not only are there a wide variety of animals to see, but the park is beautiful with flowering shrubs and trees and flowers. There are lots of cafes and restaurants available and free water stations. The plentiful toilet facilities are also clean. And as a senior I appreciate the plentiful benches available
