Zoo Parc de la
About
Zoo Parc de la Réunion, on Réunion, sits at 20 route forestière du zoo in L'Étang-Salé 97427, on the island's sheltered western side. First-time visitors should expect a zoo parc rather than a coastal attraction, with the forest road setting the tone before they even reach the entrance. The drive up from the coast gives a sense of the island's interior.
Animals and landscaped enclosures form the core of what the parc offers, and the setting near L'Étang-Salé places it within reach of Saint-Pierre, Saint-Leu and Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, the main resort towns along the west. With 4.2 out of 5 from 548 reviews, the parc draws steady approval from those who make the trip. That volume of feedback makes it one of the more reviewed zoos on Réunion.
The parc keeps a website at http://www.zooparcdelareunion.re/ for anyone wanting to plan a visit before travelling. Opening hours are not something to rely on without checking ahead. The forest road address is the point to give to a driver.
French is the official language of Réunion, and Réunion Creole is spoken widely in daily life, so a few basic phrases help with directions and tickets. Humpback whales visit Réunion's waters between June and September, along with dolphins and sea turtles, which makes the months around a parc visit a good time to be on the island. Rainfall varies sharply across Réunion, with the windward east coast far wetter than the sheltered west where L'Étang-Salé sits.
