    We loved visiting this park! Though it's small, it offers a wealth of learning experiences for both adults and children. In my opinion, it's just the right size to vitis with kids. We couldn't visit Lascaux, so we headed straight to the park, and all four of us (2 adults + 2 kids) enjoyed it immensely. Watching the wolves up close was an incredible experience. We learned so much about all the different animals there and their ancestors!! The park is clean and all the animals look healthy. We also got to watch the 3D animations, which the kids loved so much they didn't want to leave. There's plenty of free parking spots right by the entrance. We went there in the morning and there were very few visitors. Keep in mind, this park isn't a zoo; it's a whole different experience altogether

    Very uninteresting experience. We only went because we got twin tickets at Lascaux (which was awesome btw). A few animals, but apart from wolf and bison nothing you wouldn't have seen just wandering around farms and forest anyway ! Might be interesting as part a school trip but otherwise don't bother.

    Lovely experience. Animals outside look well cared for and we enjoyed watching the wolf feeding and seeing the Bison. Inside there is a movie (in french) and a good walk- through section depicting cave art and the nearby Lascaux complex. Worth a visit.
