The Nocturnes at the Parc Zoologique de Paris are back this summer, so you can discover the park at dusk, and the animals, with a fresh eye. Guided tours, entertainment, quizzes... Here's what's in store for you every Thursday from July 10 to August 14, 2025!

Once again this year, the Parc Zoologique de Paris will open at night during the summer, allowing young and old alike to enjoy the animals in the evening, when the park usually closes. Once a week, on Thursdays from July 10 to August 14, 2025, the Zoo de Vincennes will remain open until late evening, from 6pm to 10pm, with a single entrance fee of 15 euros to enjoy the zoo at dusk, in a different atmosphere!

Themed activities, quizzes, feedings and special observations of the animals, there's plenty to see when the heat of the day is less keenly felt.

Take a stroll through the five biozones that reproduce the environment of the 200 different species present at the Zoological Park: Patagonia, Africa, Europe, Amazonia-Guyana and Madagascar. The animals can be seen in a quieter atmosphere than during the day, when they'll come to you more easily and let themselves be observed in silence, in the setting sun. A great experience, with family or friends!

The lions stretch out after their siesta, the bats have their meal, the baboons enjoy the last rays of the sun... Facing the African plain and the Grand Rocher, which changes color, enjoy a terrace with deckchairs, cocktail bar, hot dishes and delicacies, to enjoy the evening to the end.

What's more, the Silent Zoo returns for two special evenings on July 17 and August 7, allowing participants to dance and listen to music silently in the presence of the animals.
