Zoo d'Amiens, Animal conservation center in Amiens, France

Zoo d'Amiens occupies about 7 hectares on the grounds of the former botanical garden, where roughly 700 animals of just over 100 species are kept. Primates on the Île aux singes and carnivores are the focus of the collection, and a tiger enclosure opened in 2019. About 150 plant species and a wetland with century-old trees remain on the site.

Established more than 70 years ago, the facility has grown into a research center dedicated to animal welfare and conservation. Over time, it developed partnerships with international organizations focused on species protection.

The zoo serves as a learning hub where visitors encounter educational programs and live demonstrations focused on wildlife protection. These activities help people understand the challenges facing animals in their natural habitats.

The zoo features a restaurant housed in a 19th-century building, covered picnic areas, and a gift shop for visitors. Plan to spend three to four hours to comfortably explore the grounds at your own pace.

The zoo opened on 22 May 1952 on the grounds of the former botanical garden, and about 150 plant species and a wetland with century-old trees remain. A 2017 count by Picardie Nature recorded nearly 100 animal species living freely on the site, including 30 bird and 8 bat species; a bat house was built in 2017.
