The Bordeaux Pessac Zoo
Nestled in the heart of the Bourgailh forest, the Pessac zoo on 5 hectares surrounded by greenery! On a human scale, the park is accessible with walking carts available for very small legs, sometimes tired (ideal with children under 10 years old and at a rate of €5 for hire).
A great diversity in the animals that live in the zoo: pandas, cheetahs, European elk, white tigers, maned wolves, gibons, otters… Also farm animals such as sheep, goats, giant chickens or miniature horses…
Several slots are offered every day in order to be able to attend the animals’ snacks. The keepers will answer the children’s questions during feeding about their lifestyle, diet or behaviour.
A change of scenery is really the order of the day in this zoo, well designed for families.
There are many picnic benches available, as well as several areas to rest for a few moments
You will feel really close to them throughout your visit!
