« We will return ! »
We were delighted with this activity with the careful Aurelie. We enjoyed sharing this moment with a passionate person, available to answer all of our questions and to listen. We plan to participate in this activity next year to discover more species and the great daily work you do.

« A moment that will remain engraved! »
We learned a lot about the animals and the organization within the park, it was really a very natural and friendly exchange. [...] It was great to discover the wings and the park before the opening, one feels really privileged. Thank you all for what you do on a daily basis.

« Sharing a passion »
We were lucky to have a super carer, very professional, smiling, caring who knew how to share her passion and answer all our questions to me and my little cousin. Leelou, the keeper who was with us for 3 hours, was very warm and was able to show us the different roles of a keeper in a zoo, so much so that my little cousin now wants to make it her job.
