Safari Thoiry: Entry Ticket

About this experience

Safari Thoiry is a wildlife attraction located 40 km west of Paris, spanning 150 hectares of parkland that visitors drive through in their own car. The park is home to more than 1,300 animals across 150 species, including lions, tigers, bears, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, and hyenas. Among the Paris attractions that work well as a day trip, this is one of the few where you remain in your vehicle and move through open enclosures at your own pace, putting you at close range with large mammals in a naturalistic setting. Beyond the main safari drive, the park includes a gorilla habitat, an Australian aviary with a wide variety of rare bird species, and a vivarium for reptiles and invertebrates. A playground is also on site for younger visitors. Entry tickets cover access to the full safari route by private car, the playground, and free parking. Bush taxi, zipline, and safari truck options are available separately and are not included. The site has wheelchair access, and tickets are valid for a specific date with cancellation available before that date.

Before you go

Arrival and getting around Plan to arrive with enough time to collect your tickets and join the safari route without feeling rushed, particularly during busy periods when queues at the entrance can build up. The park covers 150 hectares, so allow a generous amount of time to drive the full route at a relaxed pace and still visit the walk-through areas such as the gorilla habitat, the Australian aviary, and the vivarium afterwards. What to bring and how the visit works You will need your own vehicle to complete the drive-through safari section. Entry in a bush taxi or safari truck is not included and must be arranged separately on site. Keep windows closed and follow all on-site instructions when driving through enclosures with large or potentially dangerous animals. Parking is free and included with your ticket. The playground is also included, so families with younger children may want to factor in extra time for that.
