Ménagerie, Zoo of the Jardin des Plantes: Skip The Line
Meet a cast of endangered species in one of the oldest zoos in the world
-
Last admission: 1 hour before closing
Flinging open its doors back in 1794, the Ménagerie is one of the oldest zoos in the world! Enter a melting pot of animal-awesomeness, including orangutans, lizards, snakes and more. A fun follow-up to the usual city sights of Paris.
Red pandas, Przewalski horses, Amur and clouded leopards, primates, birds, reptiles and amphibians are all born right here in the center of Paris at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes.
Get up close to endangered species (some of which you might not even have heard of!) and look out for special ‘meet the keepers’ events, designed to raise awareness of the threats to our planet's biodiversity.
Find out about breeding programmes for endangered species, and check out those gorgeous Ménagerie buildings, built in the 19th century. There's the Bear Pit (1805), the Rotonde (1802-1812), the Reptile House (1870), and the Great Aviary (1888).
It's eye-opening and ancient, but mostly it's family fun!

Aquarium de Paris
The Paris Aquarium is not only Europe's oldest aquarium (it was built in 1867), it was also Europe's largest for years. Housed in the center of the city – right next to the Eiffel Tower – on the quarries where Napoleon would house his cavalry, this institution has been part of the fabric of Parisian life for more than a century.
With 4 million liters of water, and 13,000 fish from around the world, there's plenty to keep you and your family entertained here for hours on end.
