    • 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-wild animal parks in Europe. This conservation and protection site works to safeguard endangered species and welcomes numerous births and new species each year. This 2023 season, you can come and meet bat-eared bats, bush dogs, and even splendidly colorful birds in the heart of the immersive aviaries.

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

    A wildlife park nestled at the foot of the mountains, not too crowded, with a charming "little path" atmosphere leading from enclosure to enclosure, giving it a more intimate feel and less of an "industrial zoo" feel. There's a food area halfway through the park, complete with goats for the children! The longer route lets you see other animals, but be aware that it's a bit of a climb, though it's still stroller-friendly! We especially loved the raccoons and otters 🤣

    Magnificent wildlife park! We went with my two 4-year-old children and were absolutely delighted with our visit. The park is very well maintained, there are many animals, and you can observe them very closely, which is truly impressive for both children and adults. The setting is also superb, and the walk is very pleasant. My children were amazed throughout the visit and are still talking about the wolves and bears! You can tell that everything is done for the well-being of the animals and to offer a wonderful experience to visitors. There was a small issue after our visit with a plush toy purchased from the gift shop, but the management was very responsive and resolved the situation with great kindness. In short, a very nice family outing that I highly recommend.

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by Fiona M on 18/06/2025

    We went for annual ticket as staying for more than a week with a family & knew we would come multiple times. It is a fantastic facility with a lot of animals free to roam. We returned multiple times...

  • "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.
