Parc Animalier Friedel
Description
Parc Animalier Friedel is a small animal park in Illkirch-Graffenstaden holding around 180 animals including sheep, geese, goats, donkeys, Shetland ponies, and domestic pigs. Pathways wind through the space and cross a wooden footbridge over a natural pond.
History
The park was established by local authorities as a way for residents and visitors to interact with farm animals in an educational context. This initiative reflected a desire to maintain a connection with rural and agricultural practices in an urban setting.
Culture
The park gives children and families hands-on experience with farm animals, helping them understand rural life and where food comes from. This direct interaction fosters respect for animals and a connection to farming traditions that many urban visitors rarely encounter.
Practical
The park opens on specific days with hours that vary by season, so checking ahead before your visit is important. Wear comfortable shoes for walking the paths, and plan to spend time watching the animals and crossing the footbridge over the pond.
Did you know?
Visitors can watch scheduled feeding sessions where the animals' personalities and natural behaviors become clearly visible. These moments offer insight into how each animal eats and interacts with others in the park.
