Wireless
Connect to the PAL's free WiFi and browse the internet and your apps as much as you want. Find all the WiFi hotspots on the park map.
Single Rider
A Single Rider line is a separate line for visitors who wish to ride an attraction alone. This line is therefore not suitable if you wish to ride an attraction with another person or as part of a group.
Smoking Areas
Both indoor and outdoor areas at the PAL are non-smoking; outdoor areas have been specially designated for our visitors who smoke. This policy also applies to e-cigarettes.
Samll Furry Friends
Only guide dogs (in training or certified) and service dogs for people with disabilities are permitted and may therefore accompany their owners throughout their day at the PAL. All other pets are prohibited in the park, as well as in the PAL Lodges and at the PAL Savana RESERVE. If needed, a paid kennel located in Thiel-sur-Acolin (5 minutes from the park) can accommodate your pet. For more information, please contact La pension de la Terre du Milieu at 07 50 03 14 48.
Accessibility for People with Disabilities
Since 2017, Le PAL has held the “Tourisme et Handicap” certification for motor, mental, hearing, and visual impairments. Numerous accommodations have been put in place to ensure you can fully enjoy your day at Le PAL.
