We arrived at 12 p.m. and had a pleasant 10-minute wait to purchase tickets. If we had pre-purchased, we would have had no wait. We had a wonderful 3 hours at the best zoo (in my opinion). Bioparc is a well-laid-out and themed zoo. It felt like we were wandering through the real environment with the animals.

Immediately after arriving, we stopped at the cafe at the entrance for coffee and muffins. They were nice and reasonably priced. You don’t expect amazing quality at this type of establishment, but they were adequate.

The zoo has a lot to offer, although there aren’t many large animals. The exhibits are themed to feel good as well as welcoming to the animals. All the animals looked healthy and happy.

As soon as you enter, you’re immersed in their world. I love how the zoo is themed in a blend of the human world and animal world. It’s very immersive, and every moment felt like an adventure. We watched an animal show in the amphitheater, which was the best animal show I’ve ever seen. It had a story to follow and demonstrated the animals in a lovely natural way.

There are plenty of food options, but we waited a solid 30 minutes to order food at 3 p.m. The food was good and reasonably priced.

We saw everything and really enjoyed a leisurely look around in 3 hours. We could have spent more time, but I think 2 hours would have been enough if we were in a rush. I could have easily spent up to 4 or 5 hours taking it all in.
