This year again, the Parc Zoologique de Paris opens for nighttime during the summer, letting both kids and adults enjoy the animals in the evening, at the hour when the park usually closes. Once a week, on Thursdays from July 2 to August 13, 2026, the Zoo de Vincennes stays open late, from 6pm to 10pm, with a single entry of €15 to enjoy the zoo at dusk in a different atmosphere!
Thematic activities, quizzes, feeding, and prime opportunities to observe the events—perfect for spotting this whole little world when the daytime heat eases off.
Embark on a beautiful stroll through the five biozones that recreate the habitats of the 200 different species at the Paris Zoological Park: Patagonia, Africa, Europe, the Amazon-Guyana, and Madagascar. The animals are visible in a calmer atmosphere than by day, when they’ll come closer to you and allow for quiet observation in the sunset. A lovely experience for family or friends!
The lions stretch after their nap, the bats start their feeding, and the baboons soak up the last sunbeams… Facing the African savannah and the Great Rock that shifts color, enjoy a terrace with loungers, a cocktail bar, hot dishes and treats, and soak up the evening right to the end.
In addition, the Silent Zoo make their return for two special nights on July 16 and August 6, letting guests dance and listen to music quietly, in the presence of the animals.
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
