Learn from animals
The Trainee Keeper activity allows your children to experience a special moment at the heart of the Beauval ZooParc, for 2 hours.
As they discover the job of animal caretaker, children take their first steps into an exceptional world. One of the scientific mediators will be on hand to guide them through these learning experiences, preparing meals and meeting the ZooParc’s species. A privileged moment up close to the animals: emotions guaranteed!
