About

For the autumn school break, the Ménagerie, one of the oldest zoos in the world, puts the spotlight on animals people find frightening. In the session "Dans l'antre de la phobie," kids observe snakes, spiders, rats and bats and learn where those fears come from. Another session covers naked mole-rats, with their wrinkled skin, tiny eyes and unusual social life. It suits curious kids who like to ask questions.

From €10
