What you need to know
- Last entry an hour before closing, and every exit is final, so plan to eat inside at the cafés or the two picnic areas
- Every visitor needs a ticket, babies included: under-3 tickets are free online, other free entries are issued only at the gate with proof
- Sundays from April to November bring hands-on activities for toddlers and older kids around the park
About
The Natural History Museum's zoo sits on the edge of the Bois de Vincennes, under its landmark Grand Rocher. Over 3,000 animals live in five biozones: Africa, Patagonia, Europe, Amazon-Guyana and Madagascar.
Kids watch giraffes and white rhinos on the African plain, penguins and sea lions in Patagonia, and lemurs up close in Madagascar. A tropical greenhouse with manatees makes a warm stop on a cold day.
