One of the Best Places To Visits in La Barben Zoo Barben offers a fantastic day out for families and animal lovers. The well-cared-for animals, spacious enclosures, and engaging bird show make it a worthwhile visit. Consider bringing your own food and drinks, especially water, and check if the train is running before you go. The bird show is a must-see and occurs twice daily. Microwaves are available to reheat your food in the main cafe. A small train is available for 1€ if you don't want to walk. The bird show is not running and won't be available till April 23. Exceeded our expectations of a zoo! Animals over there are in very good shape and seem healthy. Enclosures are well maintained, and there is usually enough space This feels like a great natural setting for animals. The bird show of free flying birds of prey (e.g. vultures, hawks, bald eagle,etc.) is outstanding. Un bon zoo assez grand et diversifié.

Exceeded our expectations of a zoo! A family of 4 cost us approx 50€. Lots of amazing to see, the children especially loved seeing the elephants, reptiles, giraffes, lions and donkeys! Also if you dont have much time, the bird show was the highlight and a must see. It seems to run twice a day so if you can go,it will not disappoint! We also got to see the monkey feeding as well as the elephant feeding. We spent a whole day there and had to leave as the rain had set in! There are multiple cafes on site and prices were extremely reasonable. 30€ got us 2 x enfant menu (chips and chicken nuggets, a cold fruit drink and a ice cream) and 2 adult menus. shaded areas to sit and enjoy your meal. Alot of people also brought thier own food from home and in the main large Cafe (next to the awesome playground) are microwaves to heat your food. A petit train does a bit of a loop for 1€ but the weather was and cool so we walked instead. The zoo and it's facilities were amazing and I fully recommend spending a whole day there. Went here with friends and kids. We had a experience with all the animals. The place is well located, you can walk around using a stroller, makes it easier for young parents. The only challenge was the cold, but I guess it depends on when you decide to go there. I highly recommend Amazing experience, is enough to spend one day. It's especially if you have little kids, the place is very well laid out with all amenities, there's food available all over the place and you can bring your own food as well. There are enough toilets and drinking water spots. There is a train service for going to the top if you don't want to climb the stairs for 1€. There are play areas for and you can even reheat your food at the snacks bar. Overall highly recommended, the bird show isn't running and won't be available till April 23. Very zoo where the are well treated. Loved the white rhinoceros and the girafes. The white tiger is beautiful Zoo, well maintained, looking and a variety of animals. The train did not work because it was a weak day so it was a bit difficult with all the walking and stairs but overall a experience. Belle expérience sans affluence et à proximité de notre domicile à faire les yeux fermés . Beaucoup de devrait s’inspirer de ce et mettre à disposition des fontaines gratuites sur place je dit bravo et merci pour les familles . Excellent zoo for a day out with the kids/family. We really enjoyed the bird show (be on time) and our kid loved the playground situated in the center of the park. We went on a weekday in the middle of the holiday period and it was not crowded at all. Prices are normal for a zoo of this size Top Very zoo with really large exhibits. A wide range of exotic animals, like the bush dogs from French Guyana which cannot be seen in other zoos. The habitats are well maintained and the are in a shape. The bird show of free flying birds of prey (e.g. vultures, hawks, bald eagle,etc.) is outstanding. This feels like a natural setting for animals. Not quite a safari but you can approach the very closely while they enjoy a bigger space than in other zoos. There is more than 40 species. There is a playground for so you can spend the whole afternoon there. If you're hungry for a real lunch, the Bistro located outside provides very food. over there are in very shape and seem healthy Enclosures are well maintained, and there is usually enough space I was surprised by how big the zoo was They even have a dedicated reptile section next to the entrance Recommend 100% if you want to spend a afternoon P.S. : People, please behave your so that they respect the animals, and also other persons An excellent zoo with a huge variety of animals. Remarkably quiet when we visited on a mid summer Tuesday. Animals seem to be fairly keen to be seen for the most part! I suggest paying the small extra fee to get to the top then walking down via the various areas. Views from the top are amazing and include the nearby chateaux. Food in there park is limited but drinks are readily available. Very exposed for the most part, v wear sunscreen. It's a zoo! Bring your own food though. The fries had no salt whatsoever. The food options and quality is just okay for a zoo but could be much better (healthier and non-deep-fried options are missing). Wonderful zoo, actually sanctuary! are clearly well fed and happy, large enclosures and staff. The zoo itself is within a national park and the views alone are stunning, there are plenty picnick benches and the park is quite big, a day with the family. Will come back Un bon zoo assez grand et diversifié. Je recommandes fortement, on a passé un bon moment et on a pu voir presque tous les animaux et d’assez proches. we visited the Barnes zoo with our granddaughter on a very hot day. However, the shade trees allowed us to remain refreshed by the breeze on this beautiful plateau in Provence. A wonderful assessment of wild animals, reptiles and various birds...so much for just one visit. The animations at selected animal locations during the day were interesting and educational for children of all ages. Bravo to each animator! we attended the Saïmiri and elephant presentations. The play park was fun and diverse as well as the overall quality of construction very satisfying. We also found the price of admission and the prices of food and drinks quite reasonable. a very impressive visit for us so hats off to those of the Barbens animalier!! Au top y avait aucun touristes personne donc au top Une étoile de plus pour le respect des animaux ma volière et fermer pour cause de reproduction mais nous pouvons les apercevoir. Je trouve le tarif un peu excessif mais bon c'est pour les animaux. One of the best zoos we've been to. It was to see the variety and that most of the animal enclosures were generously sized. The grounds were quite vast so expect to do a bit of walking. Ce animalier est magnifique, le cadre agréable et les animaux dans leur environnement sont valorisés ! Nous avons un superbe moment en famille. Très joli bien entretenu Du personnel et des soigneurs a l'écoute. Nous y allons depuis plusieurs années et nous ne sommes jamais déçu. Free parking, free reptiles... playground for kids... amount of animals, in a area... what's not to love? I started off in the reptile building and was surprised all of the plants inside their enclosures were not real. How much effort would it take to maintain real plants and add to the reptiles air quality? The rest of the zoo was impressive. A fantastic day out with the awaits at Zoo de La Barben! This is an excellent choice for a family trip, offering a clean and enjoyable environment. You'll find a playground right in the middle of the zoo, perfect for letting the burn off some energy. While the food options on-site are limited, what's available is tasty. All in all, it’s a wonderful place to spend a day and make some lasting memories. seem mostly happy (as in the zoo). It was ok but not amazing. Not enough vending machines with water. So be prepared to have some with you. I recommend to view the bird show but you have to behave as birds will be close to you. So no rapid movements, no petting the birds etc. Perfect zoo for a family, need 4-6 hours for a full cycle, many onsite activities with the kids.. Très beau animalier avec une grande diversité d'animaux Very cool, had play structures and a zip line our loved, even a splash pad in the middle of the zoo, lots of cool to see. We really liked seeing the rhinos and hippos and elephants and giraffes! Je m'en lasse pas .. trop apaisant de passer la journée là bas en famille 💓 Amazing zoo on a big rock, lots of space for and people with 180 degree views, and we saw so many fabulous and birds…best ever C'était trop bien Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
