MEET THE FAIRY-TALE ANIMALS

Meet the animals at the heart of a fairy tale and step into the magic. A crackling fire and the quiet woods create the perfect setting for a story of friendship to experience together, for both children and adults.

WHEN: Saturday, 22 November, at 3:00 p.m.

This event will take place if the minimum number of 20 participants is reached.

MEET THE AFRICAN PENGUINS

Do you want to know the stories of the African penguins at the GZP? They have a very intense love life! You can meet them up close and participate in their fish-based snacks while listening to juicy gossip.

WHEN: every day at 10.00.

MEET THE LEMURS

The ring-tailed lemur enclosure is open to all visitors at weekends, but the animal encounter we propose is completely different. We will prepare surprise boxes and fruit necklaces for Sakalawa and her brothers and then give them to them as gifts.

WHEN: every day at 10.00.

CREEPY ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

If you have a good dose of courage and curiosity, this is the right encounter for you. Many animals that seem “creepy” are actually fascinating and full of secrets. All you have to do is book to put yourself to the test.

A question: Do you really think that snakes are slimy and wet?

WHEN: activity suspended until spring.
