    • Located in the heart of the mountains, the Animal Park of the Pyrenees 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, ibexes…), but also for species from all other horizons (red pandas, lemurs, gibbons…).

      Moreover, the Animal Park of the Pyrenees is now one of the largest animal parks in semi-freedom in Europe. This place of conservation and protection works to safeguard endangered species and welcomes many births and new species every year. This 2023 season, you will be able to come and meet otocyons, 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…) or living the experience of a day-to-day caretaker as close as possible to the animals.

    Amazing. Well worth a visit, in fact it is worth doing a detour just to visit this park. The displays just get better as you walk further around the park. Great range of animals to see and the keepers are really friendly and willing to share their knowledge. All the ones I spoke to had very good English too. The cafe that is half way is very good too. The only area that required a bit of effort was a steep climb to see the mountain type goats, but this path is optional. Not expensive either. I will definitely go again!

    Very nice Zoo with a very great layout. You even get some great views. A lot of animals can be seen without any fences. The zoo is clean and well maintained. A reduction for bigger famalies would be a good feature. It's quite expensive.

    Small but well laid out and well stocked animal park. Including some open areas where public and animals are allowed to interact. Impressed with the otters, exotic birds, bears, wolves and small monkeys. Stuffed animal museum is a bit weird . Long route is a bit steep. Appears to have a good breeding program. Recommended

  • "Great place"

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by kubzariel (London, United Kingdom) on 30/06/2023

    We loved this little zoo. There's plenty of different animals and you can see them from pretty close. In particular, we enjoyed lynx, ocelots and wolves.
