The park was the first in France to successfully breed giant pandas, with the birth of twins in 2021.
The Dôme Equatorial covers 1 hectare and is one of the largest glass-domed greenhouses in the world.
It is home to the first white tigers seen in France, which arrived at the park in 1991.
The park operates its own private veterinary clinic on-site to provide specialized care for its diverse animal population.
The zoo participates in over 50 European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP) to manage captive populations of threatened animals.
ZooParc de Beauval is one of the world's most significant zoological institutions, housing over 35,000 animals across 800 species. It is globally recognized for its successful breeding program for giant pandas, the only ones in France. The park is organized into specialized zones, including the massive Dôme Equatorial, which features a tropical climate and diverse aquatic and land species. It also hosts a large aviary complex and extensive enclosures for big cats, including white tigers and lions. The site is a leader in conservation and research, integrated with the Beauval Nature association. Visitors navigate the expansive grounds using a cable car system, Le Nuage de Beauval, providing aerial views of the park. It remains a premier destination for studying biodiversity in a semi-naturalized environment.

Attempting to see every single animal in a single day, which leads to fatigue and missing key presentations.
Open daily throughout the year, including public holidays.
