This Zoo was developed in an existing forest so unlike other zoos the environment is also part of the attraction. The Zoo is widely spread out and provides good descriptions for the animals (in French). Coming from North America it was nice to see more exhibits from warmer climates such as Africa and Eurasia. It is incredible that such a... More

However - the new section which re-constructs the Amazon is a real must - clever, exciting and an excellent addition to a rather dull zoo More

We went to the Zoo park during the winter which hindered the experience, but still, it was worth checking out. The green house was fantastic! We saw things that amazed us! It's a hike from the city centre, which meant it was good for the waistline, but in the cold, it was a struggles. No public transport goes directly to... More

The zoo is a bit out of town and a nice hiking day. The restaurant was like a small village restaurant...not too expensive but solid food. It was fairly priced and we could sit outside and relax before finishing the park. More

We enjoyed walking through the woodsy zoo and seeing the animals. The Amazonian Serre is really well done (but not free!) and worth the visit. More

Montpellier Zoo is well worth a visit no matter how long you have to spend in the city. We were there for 2 and a half days and decided to start one with a visit to the zoo. We got there as it opened (10am) which I would recommend as it meant we were virtually the only people there! The... More

The outdoor zoo is free and very big, so wear good walking shoes and bring water. There are hills and it honestly feels more like a park at times because of the distance between animals. The inside Amazon Greenhouse was awesome and worth the coupe euro. If you don't speak French take the audio guide, it's very interesting and interactive.... More

I thik that the ZOo of Montpellier needs more work and maintenance. It is sad to see some animals and how they are in small spaces for people to see. Rinos for example are in a really limited space but people cannot complain that they cannot see them. I think that if you live in Montpellier it is a nice... More

The zoological garden of Montpellier consists of two different parts: The zoo itself (Parc Zoologique Henri de Lunaret) which is free and the Amazonas house (La serre amazonienne) where you have to pay an entrace fee (6€ for adults, which I think is fair). They can be reached easily by bus (Line "La Navette" from Saint-Eloi). The Parc Zoologique Henri... More

Even the bus driver looked at us as if we had taken leave of our senses when we got off at the stop for the Zoo... If you are considering visiting the abismal creation of fences, trees and animals daring to call itself a ''zoo'' in Montpellier...please don't. If your idea of a good time is seeing what the hinterland... More
