What makes it 93% Kids-Friendly: Daily feedings, quiz trails, play zones and 8+ apprentice-keeper sessions keep 3-12-year-olds engaged, with toilets and picnic areas nearby; admission can be pricey for large families.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: This gives time to walk through the five biozones at a kids-friendly pace, watch animal feedings, and rest between attractions.
Follow the five biozones trail:
Walk the 4 km loop through Sahel-Sudan, Patagonia, Europe, Amazon-Guyana and Madagascar landscapes.
Tip: Pick up the express-route map at the entrance and plan a mid-trail rest at the playground area.
Attend daily children’s feedings and shows:
See giraffe presentations, vigogne feedings and predator-season storytelling without extra fees.
Tip: Check the daily schedule online and arrive 10 minutes early for front-row spots.
Complete map-based quizzes and scavenger hunts:
Grab a free quiz map to spot pumas, lemurs and more, then answer fun questions along the way.
Tip: Bring a pencil or crayon to fill in answers and earn a small reward at the end.
Picnic at feeding-friendly areas:
Use tables with parasols and nearby water fountains for snacks or bottle breaks.
Tip: Pack your own snacks or sandwiches to save time and money.
Breakfast with the giraffes:
Enjoy a guided breakfast while watching giraffes feed (ages 3+).
Tip: Book online weeks ahead; choose the family rate for 2 adults + 2 kids.

An amazing Zoo, with many animals and a lot to explore. My favorite points were: The big bird aviary where the birds can fly over, next you. The tropical greenhouse The savannah area where only a water feature and an electric fence seems to separate visitors from the animals.

A good experience. Small but well populated with a good range of animals, including a manatee which we had not seen before. We spent 4h30 on site, including a quick lunch and the little shop at the end. The enclosures looked big enough for the animals. Overall, we enjoyed and likely to go back at some point, reminded us of the London Zoo.

Brillant zoo. Lovely enclosures, staff were very helpful. All animals looked well maintained. Terrible weather and the zoo closed for safety and we were given a full refund. Didnt make the gift shop so my teddy collection is short 🤣 great morning out no crowds

Easily one of the best zoos I have been to. Went on a day where it was rainy midday and the zoo was nearly empty. We had great weather and the animals were awake and active. The enclosures seemed like they had planets of space for the animals within them and the animals seemed content, which made me happy.

We have spent 3 hours exploring the zoo. We enjoyed our time. The zoo route is clear and guides u easily between animals. It contains a good variety of animals & birds. It could have been great if there were an elephant and bear. A recommendation for sure!
From April to November, predator-season weekends offer games and storytelling for ages 3–12. In late March, reserve free weekend tickets for children under 13.
