Scénoparc iO, Zoo and tourist attraction in Valette, France.
Scénoparc iO is a zoo and theme park set in the mountains that spreads across a large area. The place combines animal viewing with film presentations that tell stories from different time periods.
The park was created in the early 2000s with the idea of linking animals and human history together. This combination was a fresh approach to how zoo parks could present their content at that time.
The site tells stories about how people and animals have lived together through films and living displays. Visitors see how different cultures throughout history have interacted with wildlife.
The grounds are easy to explore on foot with marked paths and clear signage throughout. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the paths go over slopes and mountain weather can change quickly.
The park houses animals from very different regions of the earth in one location. Particularly rare are the northern musk oxen, which are kept here under special conditions.
