Beauval Zoo

The Beauval Zoo offers a 1-DAY ticket priced at €40 for adults (from 11 years old) and €33 for children (from 3 to 10 years old). Admission to the Beauval Zoo is free for children and babies under 3 years old. Discounts are available for early online bookings. An annual Zoopass is offered at €68 for adults and €54 for children.

Beauval Zoo is open 365 days a year, 7 days a week, starting from 9:00 am. The closing time varies depending on the season. During the high season (particularly July and August), Beauval Zoo closes around 8:30 pm. During the very low season (especially December), Beauval Zoo closes its doors at 5:30 pm.

Educational activities are planned throughout the animal park visit. They are easily identifiable on the visitor's map and through strategically placed signage. Two unmissable shows are offered during the high season that will delight both young and old: "Masters of the Air," a magnificent bird show, and "Odyssey of the Sea Lions," an aquatic spectacle where the agility of the sea lions will leave you amazed.

The beautiful Zoo of the Loire Valley offers no less than 8 completely free parking lots with a capacity of 4,000 cars, including one reserved for campervans where overnight stays are possible (without services). Dedicated parking spaces are also available for cyclists, motorcyclists, and people with reduced mobility (PRM) at the entrance of the main parking area.

Beauval is a hamlet in the town of Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, a small municipality in the Loir-et-Cher department in the magnificent Centre-Val de Loire region. The exact address of Zooparc de Beauval is Avenue du Blanc, 41110 St Aignan, France, just 50 minutes from the Château Royal de Blois, less than an hour from Tours and Vierzon, and less than two and a half hours from Paris, making it an ideal family getaway for a weekend.

It is no secret that the best way to get to Beauval is by car from Paris via the A10, A71, and A85 motorways, from Tours and Vierzon via the A85, and from Blois via the D675. By train, from Paris Gare d'Austerlitz, take a high-speed train (TGV) to Blois and then the shuttle bus, which takes into account the arrival times of the Paris-Blois SNCF line. However, please note that the bus operates only during the high season.

While the animal park is open year-round, keep in mind that you will have a better chance of experiencing all the zoo's attractions during the high season, from mid-April to September. However, be aware that the summer holidays and weekends in spring and summer are peak times with high attendance. The park, however, is vast and can accommodate everyone comfortably.

Beauval offers
specially marked routes for wheelchair users. The famous panoramic cable car, the Nuage de Beauval, is also available to people with disabilities, significantly reducing travel times between different attractions in the park. Additionally, exclusive parking spaces for people with reduced mobility (PRM) are available in the main parking area.

Beauval reopened its doors on June 12, 2020, after the COVID-19 lockdown, with strict hygiene measures in place to ensure the safety and serenity of all visitors. The park limits entries to 50% of its maximum capacity and has implemented informative floor markings to ensure social distancing, starting from the park entrance and extending to the dining areas, shops, and restrooms. Wearing a mask is mandatory for individuals aged 11 and above in enclosed spaces or areas with high attendance, such as the equatorial dome, tropical greenhouses, or shows. Hand sanitizing gel dispensers are freely available to Beauval visitors. Play areas and educational activities are temporarily closed.
