Parc zoologique de Fort-Mardyck Dunkerque Grand Littoral

The Fort-Mardyck Zoo is a smaller animal park focused on native European species, housing around 270 animals from roughly 70 species. The grounds cover a compact area that makes it easy for visitors to explore the different enclosures and sections.

The park was created to show European wildlife in an accessible setting and has developed as an educational facility for nature learning. It gained recognition through the Tourism and Handicap label, emphasizing its commitment to welcoming all visitors.

The zoo displays how European animals live and interact in their habitats throughout the grounds. Visitors can watch the daily behaviors of different species and understand how they relate to one another.

The zoo is easy to reach on foot and offers pathways suitable for visitors with varying walking abilities. Shaded areas and rest spots are available so you can pause and explore at your own pace.

Visitors can participate in special feeding sessions where otters, seals, and beavers are fed, allowing close observation of their behaviors. You can deepen the experience through add-on programs like spending a day as a zookeeper if you want deeper insight into daily animal care work.
