What travelers are saying

The sea lion show is brilliant and you can hand feed some of the giraffes, elephants and zebras.

... but the enclosures look to be of adequate sizes and just about every animal you can wish to see are here including the big ones: elephants, lions, tigers, polar bear, gorillas, hippos, rhinos and crocodiles.

La Palmyre has a good selection of animals from lots of primates, big and small, big cats including lions, tigers, jaguars and cheetahs as well as zebra, giraffe, rhino and elephants.

Great Zoo

This place is worth a visit- the parking is outside and it gets busy so if you are a way it's worth taking your picnic in with you. Also be aware it's a big venue - there are some sense de visit signs around -...More

Bring your own food. Didn’t feel the love here

This really feels like a zoo that’s run for profit rather than the enjoyment of the animals and visitors. We’d previously been to parc animalier in the Pyrenees which was fantastic and really put this zoo to shame. The variety of animals here is good...More

Nice but take your own food if you're veggie.

As zoos go, this is a nice friendly smaller example. The animals appear well cared for although the enclosures seem small. Good to see conservation involvement. Good facilities BUT we were surprised to find a complete lack of vegetarian compatible food from the various kiosks....More

Nice day out with the kids (except for creepy director)

I went to this zoo with very low expectations. But I must admit, I really did enjoy myself and so did the kids. Compared to a UK zoo, there are so many things that wouldn’t not be allowed, such as the low fences between animals...More

This is a lovely zoo- everything is very close together so great for little ones. We spent about 5 hours here and thoroughly enjoyed it. A couple of gripes however: The big cats, giraffes and elephants have a small space to roam. We saw an...More

Brilliant array of animals, small enclosures, easy to get lost.

Overall I was very impressed with this zoo, you could easily spend a full day strolling through to admire a large large array of animals. Monkeys, big cats, reptiles, African plains! You also can get up close and personal, especially with the lovely girrafes. There...More

This zoo is so well organised, and a joy to visit. The animals live in such lovely natural surroundings with plenty of space compared to other zoos I have visited. The poplar bears have a really big pool. The 'route' is clearly marked so that...More

Very large zoo with an amazing array of animals

This zoo is very impressive. From the flamingos at the entrance, to the giraffes which you can see at head height, to the extensive collection of big cats and monkeys, we spent 4 hours here and there was plenty to interest our children. We enjoyed...More
