LA BARBEN ZOOLOGICAL PARK

LA BARBEN ZOOLOGICAL PARK
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the zoo! It's a big expedition with 9 kilometers of trails and 600 animals. We took the stroller, then used the stairs. There are tables for picnics, games for the kids, and a small train. We also missed the animation schedules. We forgot the vivarium, but we'll be back!

Highlights: The animals were beautiful and in good health. The enclosures were large, and the park is very well maintained. The little one was very happy with the little train, even if it is a bit expensive! Our 7-month-old watched the elephants, giraffes, llamas, and bears ✨
