Le Jardin des Bêtes

Le Jardin des Bêtes is a combined zoological park and amusement park located in Aveyron, southern France, about 15 minutes from Rodez. It presents itself as a unique family destination in the region, bringing together animal discovery, rides, and entertainment in one place. A single entry ticket grants unlimited access to both the zoo and the amusement park, including unlimited rides, and visitors can buy tickets on site or online without needing to reserve in advance. A same-day stamp allows re-entry. The amusement park side operates throughout the day with a variety of rides for small children and older visitors, such as the Tornado, flying chairs, inflatable games, and a water platform. The zoological park lets visitors learn about the species on display, join keeper-led activities, enter a children's village to pet goats, read educational signs along the walk, and even feed the animals with popcorn. The site also includes a village of automatons, where visitors can travel back in time and relive highlights of village life through animated scenes. Le Jardin des Bêtes is described in public data as a zoo and amusement park in southern France. It is a regional leisure attraction rather than a national chain, and its official website is the primary source for visitor information, opening hours, and online ticketing. The park markets itself as a place for shared family experiences, combining animal encounters, shows, a sound-and-light spectacle, a plant labyrinth, and many other activities under one admission.
