Are you looking for an unusual experience to surprise your child? Good news: we've come up with an original activity for the whole family. Head for Parrot World in Crécy-la-Chapelle, where young and old alike can slip into the shoes of a caretaker for half a day. Isn't that great?
If you haven't already been to Parrot World, you'll need to know that this animal park is a sort of unusual, exotic reserve that transports us straight to South America. In one of Europe's largest aviaries, parrots fly freely in a magnificent aerial ballet, while on the ground, capybaras, pink flamingos, giant otters and even jaguars evolve in a beautiful space similar to their natural habitat. In this unusual place, which also serves as a refuge, you can discover the wholeecosystem around the parrots, while at the same time becoming more aware of the animal cause.
Parrot World, Île-de-France's immersive animal park: what's new for 2024
Parrot World, a zoo dedicated to South American animals, located in Crécy-la-Chapelle, Seine-et-Marne, opened its doors in August 2020. If you haven't yet visited this zoological park, jaguars, penguins and other multicolored parrots in one of Europe's largest aviaries await you, with a lodge option to sleep as close as possible to the animals. An ethical and exotic place to rediscover from the February 2024 vacations. [Read more]
And from early February (or during school vacations, except Christmas), children can experience an even more intense immersion for half a day by slipping into the shoes of a caretaker. This activity, which can be booked now, brings children into contact with the park's fascinating species.
In the company of Parrot World's caretakers, they can help prepare meals and feed the animals, discover how their living spaces are maintained, observe their behavior and learn how to stimulate their natural instincts. These workshops are open to children aged 8 to 14 accompanied by an adult, so you and your family can share in this wonderful moment of discovery. "Soigneur d'un jour" gives access to the park for the day, so don't forget your soigneur's diploma when you leave!
The program includes
- preparing meals for the park's animals
- feeding coatis, penguins and guanacos
- a special moment with the capybaras
- observing giant otters during their medical training
- cleaning and maintenance of animal living areas
If you're feeling more like a small farmer, Parrot World now also offers Caretaker mornings at the children's ranch: spend a morning with the park's caretakers and enjoy a unique experience. Goats, kids, alpacas, billy goats... This is your chance to discover how animals are fed, pampered and cared for on a daily basis at Parrot World. The activity is suitable for children aged 7 to 12, who come unaccompanied to fully enjoy this unusual experience! Cost: €60 per child for the whole morning.
