We visited this beautiful park seven years ago, and as we approached with the view of the amazing gold embossed gates I was smitten with the place. Looking through the gates I saw the lake and it was something of a fairytale! This was immediately enhanced by the zoo, big cats and all, then on to the extensive "Jardin Botanique". The park is set in such extensive grounds and array of flowers bordering the lake, well done gardening staff and cleaners! We stopped off this time at the cafe which is just beyond and on the left of where the pedalos are on the lake entrance. I have to admit sadness that parts of the zoo had become redundant, exemplified by an empty Polar bear cage, that is compensated for by the fact that I was less than happy by the thought of caged animals and reflecting that birds were trapped in cages. But yea full marks to this park in the old style, reminiscent of the big parks in Manchester such as Heaton Park that was not quite what it was in its Victorian heyday and up to say the 1970's. Please visit this lovely park and show it support its such an oasis for the city and great for future generations of children, such as the parties of school children I saw there excitedly looking around the zoo and swooning at the tall giraffes. We love you "Golden Gate Parc"!

Parking is a problem here but you can find a place around 5-10 minutes away depending on your chance and crowd. I would suggest you to come here by renting a bicycle because this place is so huge that you can't discover all the beautiful and interesting parts of this place by walking. Riding bicycle or jogging is perfect here. Another positive side is you can come here with your family for picnic. Very green, very huge and very silent place for meetings with close friends as well. You can easily be here for whole day. Zoopark will be very interesting for your children and you as well. Giant crocodile, lemurs, red panda and bulls are my favorite ones :). I think best time to visit here is on weekends because there will be less crowd and more silence :). I have traveled Lyon for two times and I spent my whole day here everytime. I think Parc de la Tête d'Or is most sightseeing place in Lyon. And then church on top of Lyon city is significantly beautiful as well. I have been in Paris, Lyon, Montpellier and Marseille. I think all of them are similar much or less. But every of them has its own beautiful parts. And these two I have mentioned were best parts of Lyon.
