Micro Zoo Saint-Malo — Attraction in Saint-Malo

I really liked this place and want to give an honest review.

First for the visit time, it took us about 1 hour and 15 minute for the entire visit, but if you rush through it you can do it in 10 minutes and just click a quick photo for every animal.

The animals displayed are more common, which does not take away from their interest. What we found especially fascinating though were the location of the zoo (inside the rampats) and the great effort (and I reckon cost) the zoo took to replicate the unique soil composure and enivironment for each aninal. Way beyond what most of such establishment do.

Also the staff really showed great passion and friendliness which we appreciated it.

Room for improvemt though is definetely in how the information is displayed. Its quite old school, simple info signs, whose design lack clarity and also information. A lot of information is also only presented in French, which isnt too friendky for international visitors. Have seen it done better.

Still, overall a 5 star experience for us and definetely worth the 10 euro entry if you care about reptiles in a unique historical...

We are glad to have supported conservation efforts, and the micro-zoo is within the walls of the amcient ramparts, so that is very cool--- but just be aware that it is basically viewing various small aquariums & terrariums. Luckily, it is also not very expensive. A nice thing to say that we did, at one time... We also thought it might be cool within the walls but it was a bit warm & humid-- to be expected for the wildlife we were...

A small animals zoo embedded in the town walls of St Malo. A variety of insects, fish and animals are on display in display tanks along a linear walkway.

Perfect for families wishing to spend an hour or so enjoying something different to the old town.

Being sites inside the city wall, the "zoo" is very narrow, and has a few steps to negotiate (pushchairs would find it difficult to navigate through).

An enjoyable venue...
