A wildlife park in the heart of nature
A natural space for explorers young and old
The Fréjus Zoo spans a hilly and shaded site, right next to the town. The route alternates between landscaped footpaths and tracks accessible by car, offering great flexibility for your visit. The enclosures are spacious and integrated into a natural environment that respects animal welfare and visitor comfort as much as possible.
The park is home to a wide variety of species from five continents: lions, tigers, panthers, elephants, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, monkeys, tropical birds, reptiles… Each area is designed to provide a pleasant, educational, and safe observation setting.
Throughout the tour, explanatory panels help you better understand the lifestyle, diet, and characteristics of the animals you see. Certain themed areas allow for immersion in specific ecosystems, such as the African savannah or the tropical jungle.
The shaded paths and the site’s topography make for a pleasant walk, even in summer. The zoo also focuses on education and raising awareness about species preservation, in partnership with several European conservation programs.
A family activity par excellence
An ideal outing for the whole family
Fréjus Zoo is a popular destination for families. It allows children to discover the animal world in a fun, educational, and accessible context. Information panels line the route, and some species can be seen from very close up, much to the delight of curious little ones. Rest areas allow for a break in the shade, and food outlets are available on-site.
The visit can last between 2 and 4 hours depending on your pace. It is advisable to arrive in the morning to enjoy the coolness and quiet. In summer, certain shaded areas make the walk pleasant even during the hottest hours.
The zoo also regularly offers special activities during school holidays, such as commented feedings or educational workshops. These special moments allow children to better understand the role of keepers and the importance of respecting animals.
Accessible with a stroller, the site is designed to meet the needs of families. A souvenir shop allows you to extend the experience with games, soft toys, or educational books about animals from all over the world.
