Parc Zoologique d'Amnéville

What Parc Zoologique d'Amnéville does

Parc Zoologique d'Amnéville is a privately held zoological park founded in 1986, located in Amnéville, Moselle (Grand Est, France), within the Cité des Loisirs leisure complex near the borders of Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany's Saarland. The park spans 18 hectares across 10 thematic zones and houses approximately 2,000 animals representing around 360 species from all five continents. It participates in 80 European Endangered Species Programmes (EEPs) and is ranked among the top 5 most visited zoos in France. It serves families, school and IME groups, corporate clients, visitors with disabilities, and regional/cross-border tourists.

The core product is admission via 1-day, 2-day, and annual pass tickets (adult from €29, child 3–11 from €26, free under age 3, with reduced rates for visitors with reduced mobility). Revenue is diversified across premium paid experiences (zookeeper-for-a-day from €90, privilege feedings from €30, immersive visits, birthday packages from €330), digital gift cards (€90 and €120), corporate events across five meeting rooms with capacity up to 1,800 guests, on-site food and beverage, and an animal sponsorship program routed through a Fond de dotation. Additional attractions include the Luminescences annual light festival and La Forêt des Dinos, a 70-animatronic-dinosaur Jurassic Expedition launched in 2024.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer through on-site ticket sales, an online shop, and group/pro channels; no advance reservation is required for individuals. The marketing stack spans the zoo's website (French/English/German), Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Tripadvisor, email newsletter, and partnerships with Destination Moselle, FC Metz, and JEEP. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount, funding, or parent company; the park operates independently on a 365-day, year-round basis with seasonal hour variation.
