This zoo is remarkable; the admission is pricey but worth every penny. The grounds are magnificent, clean, beautifully landscaped and natural, and the wide wide variety of animals and birds will please anyone. Bring a lunch, tho if you buy from one of the cafes strewn about, you will have better selection than you would in the US. The country... More

The zoo is beautifully laid down with a huge variety of interesting (and some rare) animals. At the time of our trip, the Pandas were the stars, and they were actually the reason of our trip, but once their, we discovered that even without the pandas, the trip would still be worth it. I am not sure though that the... More

We spent a long weekend in Loire Valley and visited sevral of the vineyards in the region. As we have 3 kids under the age of 6 years old we needed activities to do for our children. Zoo de Beauval lived up to being the largest zoo in Europe. I would compare Zoo de Beauval to the San Diego Zoo.... More

We also saw White tigers with their cubs. There is a sea lion and birds of prey display which comes as part of the ticket price. Each cage tell you... More

I was very torn as to whether to visit a zoo during our trip to France but you are bombarded by advertising for this zoo in the area and eventually I gave in to pester power. However I was shocked at the prices, as it was €40 for just one adult and one child. On the up side it is... More

I have visited this Zoo for about 3 hours during our last day of our stay in the Valee de la Loire. It is amazing how fast these 3 hours passed away while we were thrillingly watching the white lions, the piranhas and the lamantines not to mention the 5 elephant-herd strolling all over their 5 hectares domain. Unfortunately we... More
