Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon An exceptional zoological park in the heart of Nouvelle-Aquitaine

An exceptional animal park in the heart of the Arcachon Basin

Located in a natural environment of 22 hectares, the Arcachon Basin Zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals representing more than 200 species from all over the world.

The visitor route, over 4 kilometers long, allows for a gradual immersion into the heart of the wildlife.

Ideally located near the Dune du Pilat and less than an hour from Bordeaux, the park offers pleasant visiting conditions thanks to its facilities: catering areas, equipped picnic areas and free parking.

The zoo offers educational activities accessible to all every day, including narrated feedings that allow you to learn more about the animals, their diet and their behavior.

For visitors wishing to enjoy a more in-depth experience, activities are available by reservation, such as Keeper for a Day, Keeper for an Evening, or Exclusive Encounters. These exclusive moments offer a hands-on and structured introduction to the keeper's profession and the workings of the park.

Committed to protecting biodiversity, the Arcachon Basin Zoo participates in several ex-situ breeding programs, contributing to the preservation of endangered species.
