    Wonderful zoo
    What a fantastic place! We visited in English Easter holidays so it was very quiet as French schools were open. A delight to practically have the place to ourselves. Highlights were the tigers, lemurs and bouncy castle. Really well kept and fun place. Our kids (8,6 &2) all loved it. We ate in the restaurant as it was a bit rainy but there are loads of picnic benches and the food was just ok in the restaurant, I would bring a picnic next time. Great playground too and very much all included in the admission price which seemed good value.

    A nice afternoon at an organised zoo
    Spent the afternoon at this zoo, which I visited with my wife, and 2 daughters. The place was well thought out, even though we were given a map, there were signs pointing you in the right direction. The only strange thing about the zoo was that it was on a split site, seperated by a road,. The 2 halves of the zoo being connected by a pedestrian bridge, which many people used as a photo opportunity. Along with the traditional zoo animals, there was also a petting zoo containing goats. Food was reasonably priced for France.

    Lovely little zoo
    Lovely little zoo in the countryside. Enclosures were great and all the animals looked happy and well cared for. Loved the tiger enclosure and walking amongst the lemurs was fab. Restaurant was very busy but okay and food as expected. The walkways were leafy (helpful on our sunny day) and well maintained with plenty of signage. Petting zoo great for children although I do love pygmy goats myself!

The zoo was a pleasure to walk around, very clean and the animals are very healthy and well cared for.
We had food at the snack bar which was very good. Definitely recommend to visit for children.

Zoo de Champrepus is fantastic. We couldn't believe just how clean and well kept the entire zoo is, for both visitors and animals! All the animals are clearly happy and active, we didn't see any animals that looked frustrated (pacing, rocking, etc.) which you often see at other zoos.

We spent about four hours there as we simply enjoyed just walking around the grounds - lots of greenery, flowers, plants, etc. The park/play area looked fantastic, however our 11 month old was too little so we didn't use it. We did get some ice slushies though, which went down very well on a very hot day!

Had such a lovely day here today. Wasn’t sure what to expect, I’m not normally a zoo enthusiast, but the grounds were lovely, the staff were friendly, the grounds were well maintained and the animals were fabulous. I would recommend a visit!

This zoo is well presented, with some really nice gardens and well thought out enclosures.

Entry is reasonable and the whole site is well signed and clean.

Going through the different themed areas is a nice touch, and there was plenty of information about the animals.

The only criticism is that the dining area fell well below expiations. Let first point out that the staff who work there are excellent and I could not fault them at all. When it comes to the food although reasonable in price the quality of the food was mediocre at best and the vegetarian options were poor - The salad my wife had was unbelievably bad, I can’t think of anywhere I have ever eaten out that has offered such poor-quality produce.

This is a fantastic zoo, very clean, the animals are really well cared for and given a lot of space. The restaurant food is lovely and the play areas for kids are great too. Love the big cats enclosures and the chicken enclosure, plus walking through to see the different lemurs relaxing in the sun. The blue macaw parrot is friendly too.

Amazing zoo, very clean and all habitats very well thought out. Wide range of animals. We walked around for good 4 hours, play parks are great too along with bouncy castles. We ate in the restaurant and can highly recommend, good value for money. Desserts were lovely. Definitely would return if we came back to Normandy
