Outstanding! My partner, daughter, and I spent the morning there, and had a great time. I took advantage of the free entry to show our 18 month old to see some A list animals. Giraffes, Zebras, Rhinos….all sorts to see, and we didn’t get to see them all as the zoo was so big, so we are planning our next trip there in a week or two. The zoo is super family friendly with long and short routes to take. There are also a load of picnic benches dotted around the park so it’s perfect for feeding the little ones or having a break. Transport is great too with a shuttle bus that goes right to the door. Also, there are some kids play parks, hopefully the one for toddlers is fixed soon. Our little one would love it. The zoo also appears to be a popular place for running. Finally, not sure if it’s connected to the zoo but there is a super cheap cafe with fantastic quality food at the entrance. I’d recommend there too! If I could having given 100 star review, I would have. Can’t wait to go again💪

I am not a fan of the zoo, aquariums or any other places where any kind of animals get imprisoned. However, the Montpellier Lunaret park and zoo is a wide 80-hectare park with free entrance and the priority is to provide the best-simulated environment for animals that some of them are even endangered species. You can have a nice walk in nature and see some fantastic creatures along your path. There are two-three picnic places if you want to rest a bit. Also, there is a restaurant beside the zoo by the entrance for those who want to eat lunch or some snacks. You can spend a few hours or half a day in the zoo. By the way, you can go there by public transportation, there is a shuttle that you can take at tram 1 stop Université Sciences et Lettres to the Zoo (stop Zoo).

It is a big park with some animals. The zoo area is huge, so be prepared for a long walk and get enough water. Free entrance to a big part of the park was nice. Animals are free but well protected, and nicely kept in a natural environment, which is good. However they are hardly seen and the path does not have any trees that make shadow, which makes it hard to see it all in a single day in summer with so much sun. The restaurant is found only near the main entrance, we did not see any other are to eat or drink, so you need to carry water and some snacks. Signs are not so clear; sometimes we felt lost in the middle of nothing. In general, there is lots of room for improvement...

This is an interesting park and entry is free but I took my three children there expecting to see lots of animals and that wasn't the case. Due to the heat, they found it tricky walking the 3opening, fairly stark pathways and disappointment at the lack of visible animals. There are rhinos , gazelles and giraffes and we did see the cheetahs but the park but there's not enough to keep hot expectant children engaged. There are boards picturing the insects that live in the park habitat but they are not actually there to look at , except by chance! It's more of a walk in a park with some animals about the a zoo. I imagine far nicer in spring too.

Idée de date pour des ados fauchés, je vous conseille le pique-nique au zoo ça fait toujours son petit effet, 🐘de même les jeunes parents épuisés mais soucieux de leurs enfants pourront venir les laisser bouffer de la terre et courir en rond au milieu des arbres🌳 (toujours pas compris pourquoi ils faisaient ça mais si ça les rend heureux...) 🐪Par contre! Si vous avez un ami sportif qui vous dit "Viens on va courir là-bas" n’y allez pas c'est un piège !! 🦥Dénivelé de ouf et tout, j'ai cru mourir. (Big hup à tous les runnuers que je vois là bas vous êtes trop forts)🐆 Toujours un plaisir, j’y vais depuis 20 ans (oui oui je vieillis),🐢 y’a des animaux comme on s’y attend, et ça fait tellement plaisir de voir des animaux dans un grand enclos avec des endroits où se cacher quand ils en ont marre de poser comme des divas,🦁 surtout quand on se questionne sur leur bien-être ! Le parc est grand et GRATUIT on le dit pas assez mais franchement vous vous rendez compte de la chance qu'on a?🐒 Y’a des tables, des toilettes, des circuits conseillés pour les personne à mobilité réduite ou bien ceux qui ont envie de se dégourdir les jambes,🦓 des affiches ultra détaillées pour en savoir plus sur les animaux, des soigneurs qui viennent expliquer aux gens!!🐦 Et en plus, y’a des animaux vieux! Vous comprenez?🐺 Ça veut dire qu'ils se débarrassent pas des animaux qui intéressent moins les ingrats que nous sommes parfois mais qu'ils continuent d’en prendre soin jusqu'à la fin malgré les frais de vétérinaire supplémentaires et le manque d’attractivité des gens en face!🦬 Et qu’en plus le zoo est gratuit depuis -300 av. J.C. Genre, ils ont l’air d’aimer leurs animaux vous vous rendez compte? (Il faut se poser ce genre de questions en 2025)🐶 Et puis c'est toujours marrant de voir les gens s’extasier sur l’écureuil qui squatte les enclos vides. 🐿 Bref, 20/20, allez-y que dire de plus?
