    • Located in the heart of the mountains, the Pyrenees Animal Park is home to around 100 different species and nearly 500 animals spread over 14 hectares of nature.

      The park offers optimal living conditions for the emblematic species of the Pyrenees (brown bears, wolves, marmots, ibex, etc.), but also for species from completely different horizons (red panda, lemurs, gibbons, etc.).

      Moreover, the Pyrenees Animal Park is now one of the largest semi-wild animal parks in Europe. This conservation and protection site works to safeguard endangered species and welcomes numerous births and new species each year. This 2023 season, you can come and meet bat-eared bats, bush dogs, and splendidly colorful birds in the heart of the immersive aviaries.

      Possibility of sleeping on site in the three ecolodges (bear, black wolf, gray wolf, etc.) or living the keeper experience for a day close to the animals.

    We had a wonderful family visit. We especially appreciated being able to picnic on site, which made our day even more enjoyable. The bears were a memorable attraction and captivated our children. We left with wonderful memories of the day.

    4 / 5 Reviews posted by Matteo P (Rome, Italy) on 10/05/2026

    A really good park loved how you could play with the parrots and hope to go again as we lacked time. I highly recommend it even if you don’t watch the shows.
