Amazing zoo in the 12th, totally worth the longish transit ride. We live near one of the world's…read moregreatest zoos (San Diego Zoo), and we were totally satisfied with the Parc Zoologique de Paris. We didn't feel like it was in any way underwhelming or disappointing. On the contrary ,we were impressed with the very modern habitats, which seemed quite a bit roomier than most zoos, while not quite as spacious as the more open wild animal parks. Of course, as is the case with any zoo, you won't get to see every animal, as, you know, they're wild animals and can't be told to be in the window at all times. But as my wife pointed out, all the snakes can be found under their heat lamps! We will definitely be back next time we're in Paris.

La collection de mobilier et de tableaux d'époque est tout aussi précieuse que l'immense parc botanique et zoologique qui l'entoure. Les 127 ha de jardins classés recèlent pas moins de 1000 arbustes fleuris dans les dédales qui mènent au parterre de Le Nôtre. Une "île mystérieuse" utilise la nature comme parc d'attraction pour les enfants avant qu'ils n'écarquillent les yeux dans le tunnel en verre pour un face à face avec les lions et les tigres. Quelle belle victoire pour l'amoureux des animaux, Le Vicomte Paul de la Panouse, qui fit naître en 1968 à 40 km de Paris une véritable réserve africaine quand tout le monde doutait.

We visited this aquarium while on a trip to Paris. Having visited many aquariums over the years, I…read moreguess you could say I'm a bit of an aquarium snob, so my expectations were fairly high. Overall, I thought this aquarium was just okay. The layout was confusing, and it wasn't always clear which direction to go. There also didn't seem to be a large variety of fish. Most of the exhibits featured common fish, along with a few small sharks and stingrays. One thing they did have plenty of was jellyfish, and those displays were beautiful. The aquarium was extremely crowded, so it's possible we missed some exhibits or didn't get the full experience. Even so, I don't know that I would recommend it, especially if you've visited several larger aquariums. It wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't stand out compared to others I've been to.

There is plenty of space to accommodate visitors without feeling crowded. This is NOT the aquarium near the Eiffel Tower, contrary to some of the reviews that I have seen here. This aquarium is on the east side of Central Paris near Bois de Vincennes. This is a great place to visit just outside of Central Paris.

There are whales and other animals. It is interesting what you get to see. The animals' remains/skeletons are fascinating here. I feel like at the beginning of time, It was a very well laid out museum but they got more and more items for display that they have no place to put it. They end up putting a lot of things in the center of the museum leaving only two narrow isle for walking. The middle section is blocked off and can be seen only far away. This museum has two floors. The second floor is just as interesting as the first. The second floor is less of a dumping ground. Even the things they have in the cabinet or behind the glass are fascinating. There is so much things to see inside this museum that you do need minimum 2 hours. I feel like there is so much to see that I don't know what am I suppose to look at first. The most interesting item on display here is the whale skeleton. It is so big that there is no way you will miss it.

This review is for the Grande Galerie d'Evolution. It would be expensive and take more than a day to properly see all of the museums of natural history--so they ought to have their own Yelp entries. The building has four stories of taxidermy animals (this doesn't correspond to reviews that include photos of skeletons--a separate building that is not air conditioned). The taxidermy is in itself a historical collection of old specimens back when killing and stuffing animals was the only way to show animals from far-off lands to European people. It is creepy yet fascinating, and kids will be terrified and mesmerized. Honestly, it is better than the zoo found in the Jardin des Plantes since the living situation of those animals is lacking in modern updates for humanely keeping captive animals. Here, the animals have all been long dead, and in some cases extinct or nearly so. The building is gorgeous. The sky light goes from dawn to evening to full-on thunder and lightning to rainbow. It has saved us on a rainy day, and it has saved us on a day with 90+ degree heat. Plan about 2+ hours and don't leave without seeing the simulated rainstorm.
