ZooParc de Beauval - AdultsPrice: €42 (public price €43) The 4th most beautiful zoo in the world*, the ZooParc de Beauval invites every visitor to take a trip around the world and meet over 35,000 animals. From the unmissable giant pandas to the adorable koalas, not forgetting the okapis, manatees, elephants and many more, there are more than 800 animal species for you to discover, some of them unique in France, or even in Europe! In 2025, to celebrate the ZooParc's 45th anniversary, the rare golden monkeys, considered to be Chinese national treasures but highly endangered, were welcomed to Beauval. During your visit, you can explore the extraordinary facilities, designed with animal welfare in mind, as well as the comfort of staff and visitors. Don't miss the impressive Equatorial Dome, covering an area of almost 1 hectare, or the Nuage de Beauval gondola lift, the only one of its kind in a French zoo, which towers 40 metres above the park. You can also attend two different shows, L'Odyssée des Lions de mer and Les Maîtres des Airs, to learn more about sea lions, but also birds of prey, parrots, pelicans and storks... and better understand the importance of protecting them and the actions taken by the ZooParc and its association Beauval Nature to achieve this. To extend the trip, you can also stay for several days in one of the park's eight themed hotels. *TripAdvisor ranking 2018
