One of the Best Places To Visits in Le Vigen Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Very entertaining day out at a lovely park with well cared for in large, open paddocks (so not at all like city zoos!). We particularly enjoyed the feeding of the ring-tailed lemurs and the giraffes. The staff were friendly and attentive and there is a nice small cafe. One member of our party has reduced mobility and we were pleased to be able to pre-book a personal mobility scooter for her to manage the paths around the park. The park is not at all "commercial" so is highly recommended. This is a nice zoo that offers good views on several animals; even some big ones like lions. Amongst the pathway you will find plenty of playgrounds and places for picnic. The red panda, who is not caged, is one of the biggest surprises you can find here. Two downsides of this zoo: some of the cages are rather small for the big they house and it is quite hard to buy food inside the zoo so bring your picnic basket with you. We had a great day out. We were there for a good 6 hours. Loved seeing all the and the bats were really cool too. There was one bird who kept saying 'bonjour, ça va ? hahahaha', was too cute. The chateau is really beautiful too. We adored our time at Park Zoo Reynou. We spent over 3 hours there and tried to see as much as possible by following the map as closely as we could. It was an incredible walk to and from each species, with a few climbs up some rocky pathways as well, so be sure to wear appropriate walking shoes as you’ll be needing them for this experience. We saw some amazing and truly enjoyed every second of the visit before grabbing some drinks and snacks at the cafe and heading out. What I especially like about Park Zoo Reynou is that you can see that the are treated well, respected and have a lot of space to roam in their habitats. It was a pleasure to see them and we would definitely be delighted to return in the future. Great zoo/wildlife park, with over 600 and birds. A rhino, lions, tigers, leopards, zebra, camels, wolves, otters, deer antelope, monkeys plus many types of birds. The zoo is a long walk and hilly in places with stony tracks, so you need to be reasonably fit, they rent mobility scooters and heavy duty strollers for toddlers, if needed. There are big cats who have large areas to roam and hide, so don't be disappointed if you can't see them! The map isn't the most accurate so you have to explore a little, to make sure you don't miss any areas. There are 2 X cafes, one is basic which sold out of sandwiches early, the other had a reasonable range of made/cooked to order food. There are lots of picnic places and various outdoor play areas for younger children. Excellent zoo, one of the best I've ever been to. Lots of space for all the animals, big and small. Not over touristy and a lovely place to go for a long walk. Great little shop and cafe as well. We got entrence as part of our Limoges city pass which was a bonus, very good deal. It was good, I just wish they would of told us to not bother taking our pram and/or use the ones they have available because the paths at the park are TERRIBLE for prams! And there's so many hills! I was sweating trying to push the bloody thing uphill 😂 seemed well looked after 🤘🏻 Now Ive only been to three Zoo's in France but I'm sorry to say this was our worst experience. Most of the were inside. Date Visited : 28th February 2025 The Giraffe's were inside the Giraffe house despite having a very large outside area to roam, the Tiger was locked inside its indoor cage and not in its enclosure. Only one vantage point to see the polar bears, that was blocked by trees, it needed a viewing platform that the Tiger enclosure had to view into the enclosure to see them around their pool. Overall I think we only saw 50% of the listed within enclosures. The Zoo replied to this review saying that in the winter months they keep inside for safety - my reply to that is that it should mention on the website that some will not be seen - why charge full price if only half the can be seen! I was contemplating booking a safari lodge but not sure I will visit again. Lion enclosure was small as was some of the other animal enclosures. Now I've given the Zoo just 2 stars - to give a comparison Pont Scorff Zoo near Lorient I would give 4 stars and Branfere Animal Park 5 stars. Surprisingly big amount of animals! All look very well fed and cared for. They have most of the big cats who all look well and satisfied. Even got to see a leopard purr I spent a few wonderful hours in the company of the and it was extraordinary! It is a place worth visiting with children! Everything is clean and surrounded by forest and lots of greenery! I recommend it!
