    • Located in the heart of the mountains, the Pyrenees Animal Park is home to around 100 different species and nearly 500 animals spread over 14 hectares of nature.

      The park offers optimal living conditions for the emblematic species of the Pyrenees (brown bears, wolves, marmots, ibex, etc.), but also for species from completely different horizons (red panda, lemurs, gibbons, etc.).

      Moreover, the Pyrenees Animal Park is now one of the largest semi-free animal parks in Europe. This place of conservation and protection works to safeguard endangered species and welcomes many births and new species each year. This 2023 season, you will be able to come and meet bat-eared bats, bush dogs or even splendid colorful birds in the heart of the immersive aviaries.

      Possibility of sleeping on site in the three ecolodges (bears, black wolves, gray wolves, etc.) or living the experience of being a keeper for a day close to the animals.

    We stayed overnight in one of the lodges. What an amazing experience. The parc is very clean and tidy, with well cared for animals. It is not very easy for people with disabilities. as the paths can be very steep.

    Been several times over the years with the family and it’s always a great day out. A bit pricey for a large family but still worth it. The food was good and only a little overpriced. Shop was expensive.

    What a wonderful little zoo. I was quite excited to see the bears and the wolves but I wasn't expecting to see so many other animals here. There are certain sections where you can walk freely with some of the animals. I had no idea there were so many different types of otters. The birds here are magnificent. I hope to come back on a clearer day to enjoy the view from the top. Thank you for all your hard work looking after these amazing creatures!

  • "Awesome Day Out"

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by NorthStar42043983533 (Cambridge, United Kingdom) on 12/09/2024

    Awesome day out. Animals looked healthy, some of the areas smaller than would expect and some of the English translations are a bit off but a really fun day out.

    A really good zoo, well thought out enclosures with some animals free to wander amongst you (particularly liked the lemurs). The visit takes at least 2 hours and some parts are a bit steep (although...

    The enclosures of some of the animals, are really small. There were no shows, no scheduled shows and the only interaction was with the birds that get the full points which would otherwise have been...
