- What You Can Expect - Spot the towering 65-metre Big Rock, the park’s striking landmark, and you’ll know you’re about to embark on a wild adventure at the Parc Zoologique de Paris. Home to over 180 species, this zoological park brings you face-to-face with animals from around the globe — from giraffes, rhinos, and seals to jaguars, lemurs, penguins, and lions. Don’t forget your camera — every corner offers a new photo-worthy moment.Formerly known as the Bois de Vincennes Zoological Park, the zoo reopened in 2014 after a 27-month transformation, introducing a modern concept that groups animals into five immersive biozones: Europe, Madagascar, Africa, the Amazon, and Patagonia. Travel across continents in a single day, wandering from wolves and lynxes in Europe to jaguars and macaws in the Amazon, penguins and pumas in Patagonia, and lions, giraffes, and zebras in Africa.With thoughtfully designed habitats that mirror the animals’ natural environments, Parc Zoologique de Paris is more than just a zoo — it’s a journey through ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. From mighty mammals to colorful birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fascinating insects, the park offers something for every animal lover.Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or exploring solo, a day at the Parc Zoologique de Paris promises education, adventure, and unforgettable encounters with wildlife.
