The program includes encounters with jaguars, penguins, otters, guacanos, rheas and over 500 colorful birds, including ibises, parrots and flamingos. The parrots(macaws, amazons and conures) are housed in a giant aviary: one of the largest in Europe, no less!

This year, new residents have joined the ranks at Parrot World: starting in May 2026, tejus (South American lizards) will be moving into the Pantanal Trek area. Additionally, the park is offering an exciting new immersive experience, where visitors can feed the turtles alongside the care staff.

Every day, the public can take part in a variety of educational activities, including animal feeding. But there are no parrots on bicycles or flag-wavers here. And for those who want to extend the experience, Parrot World offers five lodges where you can spend the night up close to the animals - including two facing the jaguars . In terms of entertainment, you're invited to spend half a day as an animal caretaker! It's an opportunity to see the animals up close and learn more about their environment, as well as the job of animal keeper.

For younger visitors, there's even a children's ranch with dwarf goats, alpacas and other Cameroonian sheep. These domestic animals are the only ones the public can touch and feed.

A 1,000 m² featuring slides and monkey bridges is ready to welcome visitors. It's the perfect spot for children to play and burn off some energy between visits with the animals.

Under the giant aviary, capybaras peacefully enjoy a gigantic space in the company of pink flamingos and parrots. Outside, rheas stretch out on the grass, while Humboldt penguins make their home in Europe's largest enclosure, an immersive space where the public can wander around, complete with nesting boxes for breeding.
