Zooparc Mania is an independent guide created by a French family with ZooParc de Beauval close to its heart. Not an agency, not a press office. Just passionate visitors sharing what they have learned, now in English for British families.
Who is behind Zooparc Mania?
This website is run by a family that has loved ZooParc de Beauval for many years. The idea is simple: to create the guide we wish we had had before our first visit.
Beauval is an exceptional zoo, but it can also be stressful without preparation: queues, a budget that gets out of hand, sleeping pandas, a muddled route... And when you are coming from the UK, there is the crossing, the drive and the language on top. Zooparc Mania is here to help with all that.
Our approach
- Total independence: we are not partners of ZooParc de Beauval, and we have received no invitation, free ticket or perk from them.
- Facts first: every piece of information is checked before publication, with the date we checked it. When something is uncertain, we say so.
- Regular updates: prices, opening times, animals: the content is reviewed regularly to stay reliable.
- Written for UK visitors: ferry and Eurostar routes, UK school holidays, paying in euros: we adapt our French guides to what matters to you.
- Transparency about affiliation: the booking links (tickets, hotels) are affiliate links. If you book through our site, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That is what funds the site.
Spotted a mistake?
Despite all our care, some information may be inaccurate or go out of date. If you spot a mistake, get in touch and we will correct it quickly. Readers' feedback helps us improve the site.
