The prices below are the "from" prices shown by the ZooParc and checked on 7 October 2026. For the hotels, they are for low season, per person, for 2 adults and 2 children aged 3 to 10: one night, breakfast and ZooParc entry included.

Good to know: prices vary a lot depending on the date and season. For Les Hameaux and Le Relais, the price is shown "per night", not "per person": check what it includes when booking. The pools are outdoors, heated and open from Easter to early October (until 4 October in 2026).

On foot or by car? 🚗

Only Les Jardins (5 min) and Les Pagodes (7 min) let you walk to the ZooParc. All the others are 5 to 10 minutes away by car, in Saint-Aignan or Noyers-sur-Cher.

There is no shuttle between the hotels and the ZooParc. A car is therefore essential for Les Hauts, Les Rivages, Les Hameaux, Le Grand Hôtel, Beauvilliers and Le Relais.

Watch out this winter: from 16 November 2026 to 5 February 2027 inclusive, the South entrance is closed (except in special cases) and entry is via the North entrance only, near the Equatorial Dome. The ZooParc then recommends coming by car, even from Les Jardins and Les Pagodes.
