Wakoo Park, Theme park in Vénissieux, France.
Wakoo Park is an outdoor recreation area with multiple play zones specifically designed for children aged 2 to 12 years. The space includes pedal karts, inflatable structures, trampolines, tree climbing courses, and a zipline.
The park opened in 2014 as a new family entertainment option in the Lyon metropolitan area. Since then it has become an established destination for parents with young children in the region.
Children can plant and harvest vegetables in the garden, learning where their food comes from through hands-on experience. This direct involvement connects young visitors to nature during their time here.
The park operates from late March through November, with extended hours during school holidays. Weekday visits are usually less crowded than weekends, which helps if you have younger children.
The park allows children to learn through their own activities rather than instruction, which sets it apart from many typical entertainment venues. The blend of physical challenges and gardening creates an experience different from standard amusement parks.
