The Wow Safari Thoiry, previously known as ZooSafari de Thoiry, is a safari-style park where visitors can observe a variety of wild animals from the comfort of their vehicles. The park is situated in the French municipality of Thoiry, within the Yvelines department of the Île-de-France administrative region. For those visiting from Paris, the park is conveniently located approximately 40 kilometers to the east of the city center.

Layout and Features of Thoiry ZooSafari

The Thoiry ZooSafari spans an impressive 150 hectares and is divided into several distinct areas. The largest portion of the park is the safari area, which visitors can explore in their closed motor vehicles. The park features diverse landscapes, including dense, old deciduous tree stands and steppe-like open areas. Some sections of the park are separated from visitors by water ditches, and some animals even inhabit islands within the park. Additionally, the park boasts a botanical section and walkable areas that lead past smaller animal enclosures.

New Features and Activities at Thoiry ZooSafari from 2023

Starting from 2023, visitors to Thoiry ZooSafari can look forward to several new features. A new playground has been established for children aged 3 to 12. The zoo's veterinary clinic offers a unique experience where activities can be observed through glass windows, and the births of certain species can be watched via permanently installed cameras in the enclosures. The park administration also offers guided night tours, and visitors have the opportunity to participate in the feeding of selected animals at specific times.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Zoo Thoiry, located in Thoiry, France, offers a unique wildlife experience that combines a traditional zoo with a drive-through safari park. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to see animals in more spacious, natural-like habitats, particularly during the safari portion. The variety of animals, including big cats, bears, and numerous herbivores, is often noted as impressive.

    The park's layout allows for both car and walking tours, providing different perspectives on the animals. Many visitors find the lions and other big cats to be highlights of their experience. The château on the grounds adds a historical element to the visit, though some find it less remarkable compared to the animal attractions.

    While many enjoy the concept and overall experience, some visitors report mixed feelings about the condition of certain enclosures and the visibility of animals, particularly in the walking section of the zoo. Maintenance issues and the perceived well-being of some animals have been points of concern for some guests.

    The park offers additional activities like feeding experiences and educational talks, which are generally well-received. However, pricing is a common point of discussion, with some finding it on the expensive side, especially for families.

    Accessibility and facilities receive varied reviews, with some praising the ease of navigation while others note room for improvement in signage and amenities. The food options on-site are generally considered adequate but not exceptional.

    Overall, Zoo Thoiry provides a distinctive animal viewing experience that many find enjoyable, particularly for its drive-through safari. However, opinions can vary on the standard zoo portions and overall value for money.
