This zoo has been improving the provision for their animals and birds every year. The zoo covers a very large area so is is good to use the plan to make sure you see your favourites.The number of new babies across all the species is a good indication of the care and welfare of the inhabitants.The newish Japanese garden and panda house is lovely. The two pandas were so relaxed and even if they are inside you can still watch them.The same applies to the monkeys and apes. You could spend the whole day watching the monkey young playing. The new arena for the wild bird show is spectacular. They now have many more bird speciesand much more space to work in.It is nice to sit on a bit after the show to watch the way the birds get themselves back to their enclosures.The storks take a slow stroll.
We were staying at Vaas which is about a ninety minute drive from the zoo, but well worth the drive. Entry price was 26 euros, which is roughly the same for Uk zoos. The animals are in very large and adequate areas, and both pristine in cleanliness, and the animals are in very good condition. Whatever time you arrive DO NOT MISS THE FLYING BIRDS SPECTACLE, is is really something not to be missed, when we went it was at 3.30pm so we did have a long wait but well worth it. There are also Pandas, Koala Bears, Big Cats, Penguins, Seals, Manatees, Pirhanas, African enclosure and loads more to keep you occupied. Take a picnic, as the queues are very long for food and drink. The ice creams are worth buying. Please go to this wonderful zoo, you will love it,
Excellent zoo. So much to see. The bird show was completely amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Go early to get round everything. The animals all looked happy, clean enclosures and well cared for. The little Tiger cubs were adorable. My only criticism is that you are not allowed to take your own picnics into the zoo. Yes u can be stamped and go out to sit by your car but it's quite a walk and very busy. That makes for an expensive trip having entrance, lunch and tea to pay for. Well worth a visit and will be returning.
This is by far one of the nicest Zoo's we have visited. It is so nice to see the Animals, the larger ones especially in enclosures that are cleverly designed so that you can get really close without massive fences (There are ditches to keep them in!)It may be a little 'Higgledy-piggledy' but that adds to the interest as walking about.So nice as well that they have grown and included Animals in Continents.The Panda's are an added interest too.The only disappointing factor is the marine section of the park. Not the best for shows and not even the best show. Been twice, will definitely be back.
We visited the zoo recently with our two small children who both loved their time there. The exhibits all seemed of a good size and none of the animals appeared distressed to our eyes. The zoo itself is over a large area and it is a good deal of walking (especially when pushing a buggy!) over the site.We didn't think that the cost of getting into the zoo was particularly high considering the amount and variety of animals they had there. We took our own food in for lunch so can't comment on what the onsite food was like.We would go back if we were in the area.
Zoo was very good. The cost was what I'd expect to pay for zoo entry. They had a very good range of animals including of course the amazing pandas! I loved the fact that they had signs on each enclosure telling you what baby animals had been born recently - the baby tigers and jaguars were great! We were a bit dubious about the bird show but went along as everyone said it was unmissable and glad we went - it was very very good! The only downside was the food - we decided not to take a picnic and buy food there - we bought sandwiches which were nice and not as expensive as I'd expected however the queues were huge! I assume because it wasn't peak season many of the food stalls were closed.
If you have any doubts about visiting, just ignore them and go! You'll be pleased you made the effort.Yes, we did have concerns about the welfare of some of the animals (the white lion seemed particularly mournful, pacing and roaring), and yes, entry is expensive and yes, as with any park/zoo, the food is also expensive but those concerns aside, it is a brilliant zoo - easily comparable to London and Busch Gardens.Firstly you will need a whole day to see it. There are constant shows and feeding times throughout the day but the park is spread over a huge area which is quite 'hilly' in some places, so expect to walk a lot.The majority of the animals all appear content and healthy and their enclosures are nice and open. Highlights were the rhinos, white tigers, seal lions and pandas but the grand bird showcase involving storks, eagles and falcons was the stand-out spectacle by an absolute mile. If you do nothing else on the day, do this - you won't be disappointed.
勘称是动物园中的精品!动物园内不仅有来自世界各地飞禽走兽,更令人惊奇的是有来自中国的国宝级稀有动物--熊猫欢欢和“圆仔”,这可是全法国唯一拥有熊猫的动物园哦!中西合璧的熊猫豪宅是绝大多数游客的最爱!而怡然自得的熊猫们早已将此当作了自家乐园,为游客带来了莫大地惊喜。园内各种动物表演令人难忘,最值得推荐的是飞禽“秀”,当成百只鸟类伴随着音乐在游客头上展翅呼啸而过时,除了“震撼”两字,不知还有何词能形容当时的心情....珍惜自然,与动物和谐共处的人生是多姿多彩的!
This is one of the worst Zoo I have ever visited: extremely poor design, very little by way of finding you way around, no real "theme".
This zoo is great - very similar to Chester. However...manatees - not sure that tank is big enough?!? Warning - you are not allowed to take picnics in but if you are vegetarian or merely want to avoid the excuse for comestibles that are offered for sale you may want to smuggle in some snacks. The food is truly dreadful. When I asked a young man in my dreadful French if I could get a vegetarian meal he apologised in perfect English that he was 'embarrassed to say no'.
