Amiens Zoo
Escape, explore and meet...
The zoo
A lovely getaway very close to the town centre.
Located one hour from Paris, Amiens zoo ranks second among tourist destinations in the Somme department, next to Amiens cathedral. Each year, over 190,000 visitors came to see 700 wild animals in this 7-hectare green heaven. Amiens zoo owns its identity to its very special setting in which you can discover plants and animal kingdoms among myriad waterways.
Our priorities: raising public awareness, species conservation, scientific research.
Our commitments
Conservation action, education, science and sustainability.
These are the tasks which lead our team each day.
A crossroads of worlds, the new Amiens zoo
Since 2020, new areas have opened.
The first, Archipelagos, questions on endangered island ecosystems of south east Asia, the most famous species in this area is the Sumatran tiger.
Shores, a second area, transports our visitors to the Pacific coast of America from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, among sea lions and penguins.
The Blue Pavilion is the new restaurant of the zoo, set up since 2021 in a charming place: one of the last tavern of the city, built along the river in the end of the XIXth century.
In 2022, the petting zoo has been renovated to incorporate the Meadow, a new area which interrogates the public about the relation between humans and animals, which can be collaboration or confrontation.
Animals
Discover over 700 animals from 120 species at Amiens Zoo.
Many of them are classified as threatened, endangered or critically endangered in the wild. We work each day in their conservation.
