Family outing: Beauval ZooParc
Less than an hour and a half by car from Châteauroux, Beauval ZooParc promises a magical day out for young and old alike. Ideal for a family getaway during the holidays or weekends, this animal park is one of the most beautiful zoos in the world. And for good reason: 800 incredible species from all over the world roam here in spaces designed for their well-being.
Spanning 45 hectares, Beauval Zoo transports you through 22 themed territories.
Begin your adventure at the Equatorial Dome, a tropical setting where anacondas, manatees, Komodo dragons, and golden lion tamarins roam in conditions close to their natural habitat.
Continue your visit to the Land of the Lions, a magnificent space where lions, meerkats, wild dogs, and other savannah inhabitants live in harmony. Your children will also love the Historic Alley and the Wild Animal Park, where penguins, tigers, panthers, and jaguars can be admired behind large bay windows.
Head to the Asian Plain to observe the Indian rhinoceroses, tapirs, and cranes that share a vast green space.
Then head to the Heights of China where the famous giant pandas (the only ones in France) await you in a setting inspired by their native land.
Don't miss the Great South American Aviary, the largest in Europe: a suspended walk between rope bridges and kiosks, overlooking flamingos and colorful birds.
And for a spectacular panoramic view, climb the Beauval Cloud, a glass-enclosed cable car 40 meters above the ground!
When it comes to shows, Beauval knows how to amaze. Between the bird ballet in an open-air theater and the sea lions' skill games, smiles are guaranteed.
Fun workshops are also offered for children at the Maison Beauval Nature.
After a day full of discoveries, return to the peace and comfort of the Best Western Plus Hôtel Le Colbert in Châteauroux: an ideal setting to extend the family fun.
