      Family outings, children's activities and immersive experiences at Asson Zoo

      Asson Zoo: an ideal destination for children

      Located between Pau and Lourdes, the Asson Zoo is perfect for a family outing in the Béarn Pyrenees. Children can discover exotic animals, participate in fun and educational activities, and enjoy unique immersive experiences. Each visit combines learning, fun, and discovery for both young and old.

      Children's Animal Discovery

      Children can get up close to white tigers, red pandas, lemurs, hippos, and kangaroos. These immersive encounters offer a truly enriching experience for children, raising awareness about biodiversity and the protection of exotic animals. The pathways are designed so that even the youngest visitors can explore the zoo safely and have fun.

      Nature Challenges: Learning and Adventure

      The Défis Nature treasure hunt transforms a visit into an interactive adventure for children. They observe, think, and solve riddles throughout the park. This fun and educational activity is ideal for families looking for educational leisure activities in the Béarn Pyrénées.

      Zookeeper for a Day and Mini-Zookeepers

      The “Keeper for a Day” experience allows children to discover the daily life of animal keepers. They participate in feedings, discover the habitats and learn about the importance of animal welfare.
      The Mini-Zookeeper camps for 6-11 year olds combine workshops, behind-the-scenes visits and hands-on activities. These educational experiences allow children to develop curiosity, responsibility and knowledge about exotic animals.

      Themed activities for children

      The zoo offers original activities to awaken curiosity:

      • Jurassic Adventure : Dinosaur digs and paleontological workshops for children.
      • AnniverZoo : birthday parties at the zoo with educational games and themed workshops.
      • Evening visits : guided tours of the zoo in the evening to discover the animals in a different way.
      • VIP visits : behind-the-scenes access with a zookeeper for total immersion.

      Fun trails and play areas

      The ZooAthlon and play areas offer fun and physical activities suitable for children. They can test their agility and balance, like some of the zoo animals, while enjoying relaxing moments with their families.

      A successful family outing in Béarn Pyrénées

      Asson Zoo is a top choice for children's leisure activities in the Béarn Pyrenees. Every activity is designed to be safe, educational, and fun. Children leave with unique memories, a better understanding of exotic animals, and an awareness of nature conservation.

      Between animal encounters, educational workshops, games, and immersive experiences, the Asson Zoo guarantees a memorable and enriching family outing in the Béarn Pyrenees. A visit to the zoo offers learning, adventure, and fun for children in an exceptional natural setting.

    We loved the experience; it was fantastic! A zoo where you can see the animals up close and even touch some of them. We've never been to a zoo like this before. There's a great variety of animals, even wolves! The food was delicious, the souvenir prices were reasonable, and the people were very friendly. We'll definitely be back.

  • "Disappointing"

    1 / 5 Reviews posted by Lara M on 17/10/2024

    Do not recommend. Animals looked depressed from being in small habitats. Staff didn’t seem very friendly. Everything looked left behind and abandoned.
