Cheptainville Zoo, Animal park in Cheptainville, France
The 3-hectare zoo houses meerkats, lemurs, wallabies, macaws, parakeets, snakes, and turtles in enclosures designed at children's eye level for better observation.
The zoo commenced operations in 2002 under the name L'Île aux oiseaux and welcomed approximately 30,000 visitors annually until its closure in January 2018.
