Our friends had visited the zoo for a day and were extremely impressed, showing us photographs and videos which inspired us to go. We will be forever indebted to them for sharing their experience because we would not have been aware of the place without them. They suggested to us that we should go for two days for which we were again thankful when we got there because it needs two days to take in everything and absorb the whole experience. I can say nothing more than, "If you have the opportunity to visit Beauval Zoo, DO IT!" This uis my gift to every reader

I had an excellent day at the zoo. You can buy your ticket online and add it to your wallet. I took the train from La Rochelle to the station near the zoo, but had to catch a taxi to the zoo itself. The staff was very helpful in keeping my luggage. The zoo featured many creatures you may never see at other zoos. The aviary featured aquatic creatures, fish, and others. The sky tram was excellent since it was 30+ degrees on a September day. There were lots of eateries and misters to keep guests cool. There is a bus that for 3 euros takes you to the local train station and to the one in Blois.

Zoo Beauval has been designed to put the visitor in close proximity to the animals (even the hippopotamus, rhinoceros, grizzly bears, etc). The Bird Show was outstanding !!! The Lunch at the Tropical was very good (like home-made). We appreciated the detailed information regarding the animals on the signs posted at each exhibit, including the date of the newborn animals.

Amazing. By far the biggest and bestest zoo I've been too. I went to see the pandas and I'm so happy I did. I stayed at a hotel at the zoo les pagodes beauval. Also amazing. Chinese themed. Wonderful

The best family holiday!! Absolutely cannot wait to go back. We stayed at Les Jardin de Beauval as got a good deal which was a bonus. The most beautifully kept zoo, amazing animals that seemed well cared for. The manatees and indoor dome was just beyond words, as is the flying birds display-NEVER seen anything like it was truly breathtaking! Take a picnic as the only down is that the food in the zoo is expensive and well below average! The breakfast and dinner at hotel restaurant were good and had a range-Just about enough for a vegetarian.

Zooparc Beauval is a truely beautiful place, with such rare and exotic animals. All enclosures were clean and viewing was perfect. The animals all looked happy and were highly active. My family travelled from the UK and it was well worth the trip. The cable car is a brilliant way to access areas of the park and in itself a great experience allowing you to see it all from above.

Great zoo. First time here. Zoo was very clean and not too busy. Lots of animals to see. Really enjoyed our time here. Zoo is spread out so lots of walking. The cable car gave a great view of the park as well. Loved the pandas.

Huge zoo park with many interesting animals, especially the pandas. Lots of refreshment stations and toilets. The equatorial dome is astonishing and far better than the Eden Project in the UK; worth the price of admission on its own. Be prepared for a long day and tired feet. Good parking, spotlessly clean and surprisingly allows dogs.

Everything about Beauval was first class. To see the Pandas and the Koalas at such close proximity without bars, cages or screens was a real treat. The bird show we attended was simply fantastic. All the animals looked so well cared for.

This was our second visit to Beauval and we love the place. The panda twins are special, we've followed them since they were born and the sealions are great fun whether they're performing or not. Underwater acrobats. For us the most special thing was Les Maitres des Airs, the bird ballet like nothing we've ever seen. It's spellbinding. We stayed on site for a night in Les Jardins de Beauval and got two-day tickets for the zoo included in the price.
