Good addition! I wonder if they are taking over another terrarium in the European reptile house?
This hasn't been mentioned yet but attendance in 2024 was around 550 000 visitors.

Lower than the previous year (mostly because of the Olympics), but not an unusual number for Vincennes. However, let's not forget this is the supposed main zoo of an urban area of 10 million people.
Exactly, the zoo offer in the Paris area has become more scattered over the years, with Vincennes becoming less relevant. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just different.There are other parks in the Parisian region ; Thoiry had 550k visitors, as many as Vincennes ; Lumigny (Parc des Félins) had 300k, so a bit less than the Ménagerie ; and Attilly had 125k visitors. I don't have the numbers for Parrot World, but last year it was 160k visitors, and that's without taking in consideration the aquarias (la Porte Dorée, Paris Cinéaqua). This is all from Nature et Zoo's numbers, which has been quoted in this thread already.
So if we assume that Parrot World's numbers are roughly the same, and exclude the aquarias, there have been a bit more than 2 millions zoo visits in the Parisian area last year.
And it should be noted that many Parisian families, when they want to visit a zoo, choose to spend a week-end in Beauval too.
Not yet. It remains closed to public visits, nor occupied by any animals (once there were Chamois, Markhors and Mouflons on this rock).Are guests able to climb to the top of the Grand Rocher?
You will most likely see the woolly monkey at anytime of the day - the wolverine on both of my visits to Paris (2022 & 2025) were difficult to spot, I only saw the one this year and that was around mid-day on a very hot day.I’m going to Paris on July, and alongside the Jardin des Plantes, this zoo will be a must visit. What time are the sifaka, woolly monkeys, Chilean puma and wolverines going to be most active? Thank you.
