Two shows are included in the ZooParc de Beauval entry ticket, from spring to autumn: a bird show and a sea lion show. Here is everything you need to know so you do not miss them.
Tickets with the shows included
Both shows are part of the standard entry ticket.

Les Maîtres des Airs 🦅
The free-flight bird show is one of the highlights of the visit. In a vast green theatre with 3,000 seats, 450 birds fly over your head, according to the ZooParc: owls, cranes, pelicans, storks and many more join the birds of prey.
The show lasts 30 minutes, in a dedicated open-air amphitheatre. It alternates high flights, low passes over the audience and close-up moments with the birds.
L'Odyssée des Lions de Mer 🦭
The sea lion show is a family favourite. The sea lions show off their swimming, balance and agility in an aquatic amphitheatre, with an educational message about marine life and conservation.
Duration: 20 minutes. The ZooParc advises arriving 30 minutes before the start.
Educational talks
Besides the two shows, Beauval offers educational talks throughout the day, by the ZooParc's mediators in front of certain enclosures.
They depend on the season and do not need to be booked. The day's programme is displayed at the entrance every morning and in the app.
For a more personal experience (behind the scenes, with a keeper), see the paid Exclusive Animal Encounters and keeper activities.
Dates and times 📅
Both shows run from 21 March to 15 November 2026. Outside this period, they are not performed.

Tips so you do not miss them
- Check the programme at the entrance as soon as you arrive: times change every day
- Arrive early (up to 1 hour before for the birds), especially in high season
- Plan your route around the shows rather than the other way round
- The bird amphitheatre is in the open air: bring sun protection in summer and a windproof jacket in spring
- The Zen Pass (€15) gives priority access and reserved seats at each show, once
