    The value for money is extremely poor. We've visited many zoos with a much wider variety of animals for significantly less! Furthermore, the visitor experience is disappointing! In addition, I made several requests (emails and phone calls) to various administrative and sales departments, which were completely ignored! I strongly advise against this zoo; avoid it at all costs!!

    Animals with plenty of space and who seem happy in well-maintained enclosures, and a real effort has been made to design and recreate their natural habitats as closely as possible. The activities offered are interesting and well-presented, well done! They could educate the public a bit more about the preservation of endangered species in their natural habitats, the threats they face... to raise public awareness of this issue and justify the animals' captivity. The safari tour was fantastic; the animals didn't seem bothered by our presence, well done! A very pleasant afternoon spent with our 15-month-old daughter. Thank you!!!
