The two entrances of ZooParc de Beauval
- The South entrance: the main entrance, with the welcome desk and shops.
- The North entrance: near the Equatorial Dome, usually quieter.
Inside the park, a path of about 1 km links the two entrances. Outside, the walk between them is about 600 m.
There are code lockers (no coins needed) and two picnic areas: 300 covered places near the main entrance, and 50 places at the North entrance.
The North car park
Like all the ZooParc car parks, the North car park is free. It also has:
- 50 spaces with electric car charging points (€0.40 per kWh)
- a motorhome area for one night, with no water or electricity

From the Beauval hotels
The rest of the year, Les Jardins and Les Pagodes de Beauval are a 5 and 7-minute walk from the South entrance. While the South entrance is closed, the ZooParc recommends coming by car, even from these two hotels, to reach the North entrance.
There is no shuttle between the hotels and the ZooParc. To choose where to stay: Beauval hotels compared.
A winter break?
MonstroZoo until 8 March 2027, hotels 10 minutes' drive away at most.
One ticket for both entrances
Your ticket is valid at both entrances. When both are open, you can go in on one side and out on the other. To leave and come back on the same day (for a picnic, for example), ask for a re-entry stamp: how it works.
Book your tickets in advance
