Guided tours

MUZOO invites the public to discover its three worlds (zoo, vivarium and museum) in the company of our passionate guides! A moment of sharing that was as full of questions as it was of fun.

Guided tours are adapted to the ages and backgrounds of participants, and are enhanced with fun activities and/or objects to touch.

Standard guided tours (for groups of up to 20 people) can only be booked and purchased online, according to the dates and times available in the diary.
