Well, it is not that good and not that bad. But nothing fun there, animals are sleepy/tired. Restaurants are expensive, so it is better to bring food with you. Go in the morning so you can visit the park on foot then by car at the same day. Peace!

wildlife park near Paris where you can drive through and see animals like elephants , giraffes, and rhinos up close ! There’s also a zoo, a botanical garden, and lots of fun for kids and families

The animals are stunning, and seeing them in environments that feel close to their natural habitats really made the whole experience special. 🥰 The Lion’s Den was definitely a standout. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves wildlife!

This zoo is fantastic! I would recommend visiting the park first and doing the safari afterward. Excellent for every age.

Thoiry is undoubtedly the best zoo I've ever visited! I brought along my 2-year-old and 5-year-old, and we all had an absolutely fantastic time. The hyena and lion areas stand out with tunnels that allow you to walk through their habitats under a glass covering, providing an incredible view of the animals. Thoiry offers several playgrounds and a massive rope/trampoline/climbing area that entertained all of us, including my 75-year-old mother. What's remarkable is the spacious enclosures for each animal, which are meticulously designed to replicate their local habitats, setting it apart from zoos in the US. Though we missed the drive-through experience, we explored the entire zoo and will return during our next trip to France. I highly recommend Thoiry, especially if you have kids!

I am not a big fan of zoos bit we took our 7yr old. This is a good zoo. The layout is very nice. They have a lot of interesting species that I had never seen, also tunnels through the feline enclosures. And a drive through “safari.” It’s all a bit small but very tidy, very nice. It always breaks my heart to see the gorillas bored to death. The kids games a great. The food is absolutely disgusting, bring a picnic lunch.

Beautiful day out seeing animals who looked well cared and had proper spaces cared of to live in. Lots of animals, some of them we never saw before. It is amazing to see so many of them. Lots of shadow in the zoo. Playground in the middle. Picnic tables available. We arrived at the opening and left just before the closure - plan the whole day there!! Started with walking through the zoo and finished off with the car safari - great idea as we were happy to sit down at that point!

Such an incredible experience. I have never seen animals this way, such up close. There is so much to do we’ll have to come back. But there is too little staff. We waited 45 minutes in our car to get through. The food is also an issue. Too much wait, restaurants are far away, and too many products were out of stock.

Interesting place for the kids to visit near Paris We can watch the animals very closely

What a surprisingly great zoo! Not far from Paris. And there’s a great labyrinth inside the Zoo, which is very fun!

The safari part of the zoo is uninspired. The zoo part is of a similar vein. Certainly the least impressive zoo I've visited. Plus of your child is over 11 years old, you're paying for an adult which is ridiculous.

Very nice zoo. Lots of animals and the safari is very cool

Had lots of fun. Great place to visit with family or as a group. Check the weather forecast before visiting so as not to travel when it rains.

I like this zoo a lot, the car safari and air park are great fun for kids. Yet, there are three things that I hope the zoo can really improve. Firstly, the hygiene of the toilet, it smells bad and not being cleaned frequent enough. Secondly, make the air cleaner in the walking zoo by introducing electric vehicles and arrange smoking zone for smokers, there are so many young kids and it is very bad to breathe in all those bad pollution. Thirdly, it would be nice to have more benches in the walking zoo.

Huge castle with the ground floor on exhibition. The collection of furniture, glass ware, decors are very classic, traditional and vintage. You can also check out the garden just outside which is also pretty impressively decorated and well maintained. You can visit this castle for free by showing the ticket of the zoo Parc thoiry so a good tip if you like :)

Very nice castle, be careful because it can be booked by people for ceremony. But, even if that's the case you can enjoy the outside light which are breathtaking!

Beautiful castle and safari.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, intimate visit with a great “storyteller”! Thoiry Castle has preserved furniture, paintings, everyday objects and souvenirs accumulated over the centuries, many of which are linked to the history of France. (Original) Très belle visite, intimiste avec une “conteuse” top ! Le château de Thoiry a conservé mobiliers, tableaux, objets de la vie quotidienne et des souvenirs accumulés au cours des siècles dont beaucoup sont liés à l’ histoire de France

(Translated by Google) A very interesting tour of this family castle, furnished with a wealth of period objects. There's also a photo history of the creation of the animal park. Thanks to the QR code in each room, we were given explanations by a character who lived in the castle and who came straight out of his painting. Very pleasant and informative. In short, a pleasant little tour. (Original) Une visite très intéressante de ce château familial meublé avec énormément d’objets d’époque. On y trouve egalement un historique en photo de la création du parc animalier. Grace au QR code dans chaque pièce nous avons eu des explications données par un personnage ayant vécu dans se château et sortant de son tableau. Très plaisant et instructif. En résumé une bonne petite visite.

(Translated by Google) A superb tour of this castle, by candlelight, with a passionate and fascinating storyteller. A journey through history from 1559 to the present day through a collection of objects, furniture, and archives. A truly wonderful discovery. (Original) Une superbe visite de ce château, à la lueur des bougies, avec une conteuse passionnée et passionnante. Une traversée de l histoire depuis 1559 jusqu'à aujourd'hui au travers une collection d'objets, de mobilier et d'archives. Une très belle découverte

Accueil chaleureux par une charmante guide qui nous a fait frissonner en nous contant le passé de ce très joli château. Je recommande.

(Translated by Google) Very nice outing for young and old. We take in the sights. Unfortunately, a few small details could be greatly improved. A good part of the route is in the mud. There is certainly far too much illumination and not enough explanation of what is on display. A few heat spots would not be negligible. The food truck needs improvement. These remarks should not, however, dissuade you from making this expensive but poetic and entertaining visit. (Original) Très belle sortie pour les petits et les grands. On en prend plein la vue. Malheureusement, quelques petits détails pourraient être largement améliorés. Une bonne partie du parcours s'effectue dans la boue. Il y a certainement beaucoup trop d'illuminations et pas assez d'explications relatives à ce qui est exposé. Quelques points de chaleur ne seraient pas négligeables. Le foodtruck est à améliorer. Ces remarques ne doivent toutefois pas dissuader d'effectuer cette visite onéreuse mais poétique et divertissante.

(Translated by Google) Great experience. A little over an hour wandering around the different themes. It's a whole different atmosphere. Whether for adults or children, there is something for everyone. (Original) Belle expérience. Un peu plus d'une heure à nous balader dans les différents thèmes. C'est une toute autre ambiance. Que ce soit pour les adultes ou les enfants, tout le monde y trouvera son compte.

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous ! I loved the lights with the themes. The planets were fabulous, the feeling of being a little weightless in this universe. (Original) Magnifique ! Les lumières avec les thèmes j'ai adoré. Les planètes c'était fabuleux, l'impression d'être un peu en apesanteur dans cet univers.

(Translated by Google) A great place to visit in winter! Absolutely breathtaking, with impressively realistic achievements. Young and old alike have fun. Not to be missed! (Original) Un excellent endroit à visiter en hiver! Absolument époustouflant, avec des réalisations d'un réalisme impressionnant. Petits et grands s'amusent pleinement. À ne pas manquer!

(Translated by Google) Yesterday's family outing, I recommend it, it's an outing that is worth a look and which will amaze young and old alike.. On the other hand, I find the price a little high, especially for children aged 3. We made a quick stop at the food thing to warm up with a very very good mulled wine (same price a little high 3.90 but you get a big glass) There is still a good time between 1h-1h30 if you really take the time to look.. Too bad for us, the weather was not good and far from being clement with wind and rain.. (Original) Sortie familiale d’hier , je vous le conseille c’est une sortie qui vaut le coup d’œil et qui en met plein la vue des petits et des grands .. je trouve en revanche le tarif un peu élevé surtout pour des enfants de 3 ans. Nous avons fait une petite halte au food truc pour se réchauffer avec un vin chaud très très bon ( pareil tarif un peu élevé 3,90 mais vous avez un gros gros verre ) Il y en a pour un bon moment quand même entre 1h-1h30 si vous prenez vraiment le temps de regarder.. Dommage pour nous , le temps n’était pas au rendez vous et loin d’être clément avec vent et pluie ..

(Translated by Google) We come every year and each time we are amazed. This year was promising with the theme Jules Verne. Well we were disappointed! The route has significantly shortened, usually we go through the woods. Only the great plain is decorated with just a very small Asian part. We had the impression of revisiting the editions of previous years with the insects, dinosaurs, Asian animals that we already knew. Only the castle square with the painting 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was new with magnificent lanterns! As well as the planets at the bottom. In the end, €20 is a lot to see what we had already seen in previous years. (Original) Nous venons tous les ans et, à chaque fois, nous en prenons plein les yeux. Cette année était prometteuse avec comme thème Jules Verne. Eh bien nous avons été déçus ! Le parcours a nettement raccourci, d'habitude nous traversons les bois. Seule la grande plaine est décorée avec juste une toute petite partie asiatique. Nous avons eu l'impression de revoir les éditions des années précédentes avec les insectes, les dinosaures, les animaux d'Asie que nous connaissions déjà. Seul le parvis du château avec le tableau 20000 lieus sous les mers était nouveau avec de magnifiques lanternes ! Ainsi que les planètes au fond. Au final 20€ ça fait cher pour revoir ce que nous avions déjà vu les années précédentes.

A fun maze to take on with kids. Pay attention to the clues if you want to get out quickly!

Not worthy 32€ . Nothing to see here

Great! Worth a visit! Kids love it!

! First labyrinth... It was cool.. Yet short

Good place for hiking

Super fun

This is the Thoiry zoo park. I was there with family. The safari short and not that amazing. I was expecting a lot from this tour. But I was rather disappointed. The zoo is a really long walk. And there is not a lot of animals to see. The area is expended but this is not much to see.

(Translated by Google) Thank you Bouchra. My wedding was perfect thanks to her. A person who listens kindly and helps you throughout the organization of your event. The area is simply magnificent, we spent an unforgettable evening. Bouchra will reassure you and make your event a perfect and unforgettable moment. (Original) Merci Bouchra . Mon mariage fut parfait grace à elle . Une personne à l'écoute bienveillante et qui vous aide durant toute l'organisation de votre événement .Le domaine est tout simplement magnifique , nous avons passé une soirée inoubliable . Bouchra sera vous rassuré et faire de votre événement un moment parfait et inoubliable .

(Translated by Google) The current sound and light exhibition is superb. Pretty and relaxing, a beautiful route to do with the family, even during the day. (Original) L'exposition son et lumière actuelle est superbe. Jolie et reposante, un beau parcours à faire en famille, même de jour.

(Translated by Google) The wild lights of Thoiry are magical. Opportunity to become a child of wonder again at 50. Words fail, we let ourselves be carried away in this magical world and when the end comes, we are surprised that it is already the end and we ask for more. The route is broken down into several “worlds”, each more beautiful than the last, where flora and fauna try to steal the spotlight. After crossing the underwater world, that of the primates then that of the dinosaurs, and witnessing the boarding of Noah's ark, we begin to want to lead the life of a castle. Want to be a princess in her carriage, to stroll and play with the peacocks, to witness the duels of the knights who fight to obtain the favors of their beautiful one. (Original) Les lumières sauvages de Thoiry sont magiques. Occasion de redevenir à 50 ans une enfant qui s'emerveille. Les mots manquent, on se laisse emporter dans ce monde féérique et lorsqu'arrive la fin, on est surpris que ce soit déjà la fin et on en redemande. Le parcours se décompose en plusieurs "mondes" tous plus beaux les uns que les autres, où flore et faune tentent de se voler la vedette. Après avoir traversé le Monde sous-marin, celui des primates puis celui des dinosaures, et assisté a l'embarquement sur l'arche de Noé, on se prend à vouloir mener la vie de château. Envie d'être une princesse dans son carrosse, de flâner et jouer avec les paons, d'assister aux duels des chevaliers qui se battent pour obtenir les faveurs de leur belle.

(Translated by Google) Nice place next to the castle. I did a professional show there. Very pleasant. And well wooded. (Original) Bel endroit à côté du château. J'y ai fait un salon professionnel. Très agréable. Et bien arboré.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent and calming setting which contributed to an exceptional wedding! I recommend this unique place for a perfect evening. A special mention to Bouchera who takes care of this place perfectly! She is available and smiling. She knew how to support us and reassure us when needed. Thank you again if the experience was so magical it is partly thanks to you! (Original) Un cadre magnifique et apaisant qui a contribué à un mariage exceptionnel ! Je vous conseille ce lieu unique pour une soirée parfaite. Une mention spéciale à Bouchera qui s’occupe parfaitement de ce lieu ! Elle est disponible et souriante. Elle a su nous épauler et nous rassurer quand il le fallait. Encore merci si l’expérience fut aussi magique c’est en partie grâce à toi !

(Translated by Google) We organized our wedding on this site. The site is simply magnificent, with an unusual charm. We fell in love with the place from our first visit. Our guests were also completely charmed. Positive points: - The beauty of the site obviously - No service provider is imposed, which leaves you the choice to organize your event as you wish. - There is no mixing between the wedding event and zoo visitors, the places are well privatized. - No noise constraints at neighborhood level - Possibility of setting off fireworks - Late evening time. - Possibility of having an outdoor ceremony facing the castle, simply WOW. The site therefore offers 2 panoramas to guests, one part with a castle and the other with an orangery + huge garden: a double whammy! - Manager present on site in the event of a technical incident, he was able to be discreet while being available, professional and very courteous. - Ample parking available for guests “Negative” points: - You must provide a person to "guard" the parking lot to prevent zoo visitors from taking up all the spaces - no bridal room provided to spend the night - the chairs provided by the orangery cannot be placed outside for the ceremony In short: unforgettable moment, we do not regret our choice in any way. A big thank you to the whole team. (Original) Nous avons organisé notre mariage sur ce site. Le site est tout simplement magnifique, doté d'un charme peu commun. Nous avons eu un coup de cœur sur le lieu dès notre première visite. Nos invités ont tous été également complètement sous le charme. Points positifs : - La beauté du site évidemment - Aucun prestataire n'est imposé ce qui vous laisse le choix d'organiser votre événement comme bon vous semble. - Il n'y a pas de mélange entre l'événement du mariage et les visiteurs du zoo, les lieux sont bien privatisés. - Pas de contrainte sonore niveau voisinage - Possibilité de tirer un feu d'artifice - Heure de fin de soirée tardive. - Possibilité de faire une cérémonie en extérieure face au château, tout simplement WOW. Le site offre donc 2 panoramas aux invités, une partie avec château et l'autre avec orangerie + immense jardin : coup double ! - Régisseur présent sur les lieux en cas d'incident technique, il a d'ailleurs su être discret tout en étant disponible, pro et très courtois. - Vaste parking mis à disposition pour invités Points "négatifs" : - Il faut prévoir une personne pour "garder" le parking afin d'éviter que les visiteurs du zoo ne prennent toutes les places - pas de chambre de mariée prévue pour passer la nuit - les chaises fournies par l'orangerie, ne peuvent être mises à l'extérieur pour la cérémonie En bref : moment inoubliable, nous ne regrettons aucunement notre choix. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe.

I was positively surprised by the variety of animals here. It's a great place for a family day out!

Very good

Great for kids with plenty to do for the entire day. Reasonably priced food and drink available.

I have been going hear for quite some time with family. Improvement appears to be going on all over the estate.

(Translated by Google) Nice zoo apart from the price which is quite high. For a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 children) count €114 for entry. As for the catering part, the prices are very high considering the quantity/quality of what is offered. Concerning the catering part, don't wait to be able to enjoy a meal outside lunch hours... (very French...). Otherwise, a pleasant time on the site with the children, who were able to have fun and discover the animals. (Original) Zoo sympathique en dehors du tarif qui est assez élevé. Pour une famille de 4 (2 adultes + 2 enfants) comptez 114€ pour l’entrée. Pour ce qui est de la partie restauration, les prix sont très élevés au regard de la quantité/qualité de ce qui est proposé. Concernant la partie restauration, n’attendez de pouvoir bénéficiez d’un repas en dehors des heures de déjeuner.. (très français..). Sinon, moment agréable sur le site avec les enfants, lesquels ont pu se divertir et découvrir les animaux.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, perhaps a little more cleaning is needed for the animals and their spaces (Original) Posto bellissimo ,forse ci vorrebbe un po' di pulizia in più per gli animali e i loro spazi

These ratings are ridiculous. Sure, prices are high. Food is just mediocre. Everyone at the table was laughing at the size of the portion I got. But we looked at it from the bright side. It was an excellent practice for our patience, sense of humour, and slow eating skills. On the other hand at this price we could probably hire a Zen master to train us.

Located in the centre of Thoiry, this is a nice and cosy restaurant, serving french style dishes. The Staff is nice and welcoming. The Chef is also a nice person: he came to our table to ask if we had enjoy our meal. For sure, I'll be back soon because I really enjoyed!

The restaurant charges super exorbitant prices that can even beat some of the very good restaurants in Paris or London. The food is nice and fresh but basic. Nothing wow on creativity side. The ambience is basic. The service is too slow. I hope they take good look at what they are charging and what they are delivering. I wish them good luck!

Service was very efficient but hygiene was below expectations, especially in the current context : there was no hand gel in the restrooms, the unused cutlery that was placed on our table was returned to the main basket to be put back on other tables even though we might have touched it and potentially infected it. In terms of food it was only average (meat was dry) and very pricey. We will not come back

I went here last autumn and the food tasted amazing! The risotto really impressed me because it was the first time I enjoyed rice that wasn’t made in the Chinese way. The desserts were also delicious!

Very good, and quite refined. The price seems reasonable considering the quality of the dishes. The luncheon special looks good and also reasonably priced.

Shocked by the ratings here. Beyond overpriced. Nothing in this restaurant justifies it. The food is nothing special and the decor is tasteless.

I chose this hotel because of its proximity to versal. Because I did not want to sleep in hotels such as f1 or ibis budget, I decided to add to a better hotel. The hotel staff does not speak English, but they try very hard and with the help of an interpreter we somehow managed to get along.The room itself was not clean in the bathroom there was mold and there was a clogged sink.Definitely not worth the price in my opinion.

Great place for lunch or dinner. Delicious food and plenty of room for an affordable price in the heart of a charming village.

There are only very basic facilities at this hotel. The restaurant was closed both nights that I was there and the Wi-Fi was not working.

Lousy service. Price / quality not worth it.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly hotel, lots of charm. A very warm welcome, politeness and courtesy that we rarely see these days. Always attentive to our every need from the moment we arrived to our departure. A place filled with simplicity and elegance, spacious and quiet rooms and to round off our stay a royal breakfast. A big thank you to our host. (Original) Hôtel fort sympathique, beaucoup de charme. Un accueil très chaleureux, politesse et courtoisie comme on en voit peu de nos jours. Toujours à nos petits soin dès notre arrivée, à notre départ. Un lieu remplie de simplicité et d'élégance, chambres spacieuses et calme et pour clôturer ce séjour un petit déjeuner royal. Un grand merci à notre hôte.

(Translated by Google) We had a great stay, and the staff was very attentive. The bed was spacious and comfortable. A travel cot and extra beds were available for children. The rooms are located behind the street, so they're very quiet. The bathroom is clean and has a walk-in shower. (Original) Très bon séjour, le personnel est à nos petits soins. Le lit est spacieux et confortable. Possibilité d'avoir un lit parapluie et supplémentaires pour les enfants. Les chambres sont derrière la rue, donc très calmes. La salle de bain est propre et est munie d'une douche italienne.

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful stay, peaceful and restful nights at the Auberge de l'Etoile/Lodge Étoile. The rooms are very well soundproofed; the absence of noise is very rare in a hotel these days. Our room overlooked the outdoor garden at the back, which features a magnificent magnolia tree. This hotel is very quiet and cozy, and you can enjoy the sounds of nature thanks to the garden. The welcome and service from the receptionists are incredible. They always take great care of you, a plus and essential in a hotel. The continental breakfast is generous and delicious. Thoiry is a beautiful little village, and the hotel is very well located (easy parking) close to Paris, a zoo, castles, and tourist attractions. This accommodation is ideal all year round, whatever the purpose of your visit. In summary, we felt very comfortable at the Lodge Étoile, and we recommend this beautiful hotel without hesitation. It has now become a must-see for our future stays in the region because its employees and management know how to make a difference! THANK YOU to the entire team! (Original) Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour, des nuits paisibles et reposantes à l'Auberge de l'Etoile/Lodge Étoile. Les chambres sont très bien insonorisées, l'absence de bruits est très rare aujourd'hui dans un hôtel. Notre chambre donnait sur le jardin extérieur à l'arrière avec un magnifique magnolia. Cet hôtel est très calme, cosy et on peut profiter des sons de la nature grâce au jardin. L"accueil et le service des réceptionnistes sont incroyables. Ils sont toujours aux petits soins pour vous, un plus et indispensable dans un hôtel. Le petit déjeuner continental est copieux et délicieux. Thoiry est un beau petit village, l'hôtel y est très bien situé (facilité de stationnement) à proximité de Paris, d'un zoo, de châteaux et de sites touristiques. Cet hébergement est idéal tout au long de l'année quel que soit le but de votre visite. En résumé, nous nous sommes sentis très bien au Lodge Étoile, nous recommandons ce très bel hôtel "les yeux fermés". Il est désormais une référence incontournable pour nos prochains séjours dans la région car ses employés et son management savent faire la différence! MERCI à toute l'équipe!
