Amazing zoo in the 12th, totally worth the longish transit ride. We live near one of the world's…read moregreatest zoos (San Diego Zoo), and we were totally satisfied with the Parc Zoologique de Paris. We didn't feel like it was in any way underwhelming or disappointing. On the contrary ,we were impressed with the very modern habitats, which seemed quite a bit roomier than most zoos, while not quite as spacious as the more open wild animal parks. Of course, as is the case with any zoo, you won't get to see every animal, as, you know, they're wild animals and can't be told to be in the window at all times. But as my wife pointed out, all the snakes can be found under their heat lamps! We will definitely be back next time we're in Paris.

Came in October and most of the animals weren't even out or maybe their exhibits were hidden away or blocked off. There was a lot of construction when we were there. Even though we couldn't get the 100% experience, it seems pricing seems to stay the same year round. Extremely disappointed that it seemed that more exhibits were shut down or 'in progress' than were actually operational.

I came here with B to visit this zoo. The zoo is located in the center of Paris. The zoo is not…read morebig. I would say you need about an hour to two hours to see everything inside. There are some pretty interesting animals, bird and reptiles. There are a few sections of the zoo under renovation. B and I did end up spending about 2 hours here. Yes they do have some rare animals / spices. Like the red panda, Arabian oryx, orangutans and etc. Note that the zoo closes at 6 PM and last admission is 5:15 pm. Yes just slightly before 5:15 pm, the ticket seller will close the till. B came here two days before our visit and we were told that tickets are not being sold because we were 5 mins late. This is actually a good thing I guess. Ménagerie is one of the oldest zoos in Paris and is also one of the oldest zoo in the world. It opened its door back in the 1700s. Admission is €13 per person. We have noticed that this zoo is not visited by a lot of foreigners. B and I came in September and it was very quiet.
