An unusual weekend dedicated to discovery
Imagine a place where every step is a discovery, where every corner reveals a wonder of nature. At ZooParc de Beauval, an unusual weekend begins with an immersion into the world’s biodiversity. Home to species unique in France - such as giant pandas, koalas, Douc langurs and the extremely rare golden monkeys - Beauval goes far beyond simply housing and caring for animals. Its mission is also to raise awareness and inspire its two million annual visitors.
Biodiversity in the spotlight
ZooParc de Beauval is home to more than 35,000 animals representing 800 species. This rare closeness to extraordinary wildlife offers a unique insight into the global challenges of conservation. Each territory has been meticulously designed to reflect the natural environments of the species, providing not only moments of wonder, but also a living lesson on the importance of protecting biodiversity.
Beauval goes further than presenting endangered species. Through the Beauval Nature association, the ZooParc actively supports biodiversity conservation programmes at both local and international levels. Every visitor contributes indirectly to these preservation efforts, transforming a simple visit into a meaningful act in support of global wildlife conservation.
Education and awareness
Educational activities and informative panels throughout the park enrich the visitor experience. Guests of all ages can learn more about natural habitats, conservation challenges and successful species reintroduction programmes. A weekend at ZooParc de Beauval is not only an unusual destination, but also a valuable learning opportunity for everyone.
An unusual weekend for the whole family

These unique activities allow participants to step into the role of a keeper and learn the basics of animal care under professional supervision. For animal lovers of all ages, “Keeper for a Day” offers a rare opportunity to contribute to the daily care of the animals. Participants work alongside keepers to prepare meals, clean enclosures and interact closely with some of the park’s most fascinating species. Designed for children aged 10 to 15, “Junior Keeper” adapts the experience to ensure a safe and supervised introduction to this fascinating profession. Ideal for younger children, “Trainee Keeper” is a playful introduction to animal care.
