Spot koalas, kangaroos, manatees, giant pandas and over 6,000 other animals in France's number one zoo. With excellent shows and entertainment for the kids – plus pandas so fascinating you could stop and stare for hours – this dose of animal magic is a guaranteed awesome family day out.

Explore the tropics inside of a massive 12,000m² equatorial dome with manatees, Komodo dragons and more. See the animals of South America, Asia and Africa, and enjoy a 360° view of the dome from up high.

ZooParc de Beauval is the only zoo in France with giant pandas. But that's not all: it's home to the largest diversity of animals in the whole country (over 6,000 of our furry and scaly friends live here)!

Take your time and catch some shows. Les Maîtres des Airs sees 200 birds flying over your heads (you may want to wear a hat), while L’Odyssée des Lions de Mer features a bunch of friendly sea lions showing off for you.

Head to the hippopotamus reserve, spot Simba and pals in the La terre des lions, and new in the park, see pandas, Arctic wolves and cheetahs.

And it's not just the extensive range of species, the zoo is dedicated to conservation and the habitats are wide-open, and the energetic animals making full use of the space.

It's fuzzy, four-legged edutainment at its finest, and if the animals could speak, they'd speak in French. What's not to love?
