The Arcachon Basin Zoo and its activities

We are all curious about these living beings with whom we share our planet. Each species has its own way of life, with its respective preys and predators.

Each animal has its own beauty and secrets. They are all so fascinating to us.

To better understand them and learn to respect them, the Arcachon Basin Zoo has set itself three missions. The first concerns the education that we provide to our children on major environmental issues and endangered species. The zoo also ensures the reproduction and reintroduction of so-called “sensitive” species. Finally, the zoo is involved in research programs aimed at improving their protection.

In addition to presenting many carnivorous, herbivorous, bird and primate species, and organizing activities with them, this is also an opportunity to educate your children about environmental issues and respect for animals.

From amusement parks to animal parks, the interests of your children will be keenly stimulated. There are also many clubs covering the entire Arcachon Basin, offering various activities. Learning while having fun is the key word in the region. Have a great family vacation and meet everyone’s expectations. It won’t be long before your return, we hope!
