The Zoo de Thoiry in a few words, figures & images
The ZooSafari de Thoiry aims to offer the opportunity for humans and animals to come together in a wild and preserved nature, together and in harmony.
Thoiry is the first safari to open in France; spanning 150 hectares, it allows animals to roam freely. This helps them keep their wild instincts intact; visitors, for their part, enjoy a total immersion in this protected nature.
For about fifty years, the Zoo de Thoiry has allowed humans to reconnect with nature and become aware of the importance of its preservation and conservation.
At the Zoo de Thoiry, there is no training or handling of the animals. They can roam in large spaces and breed without hindrance. Different species coexist in the same extensive areas, the largest spaces of any French zoo.
The main mission of the Thoiry ZooSafari remains above all the protection and conservation of endangered species, which are on the verge of extinction. Thanks to the work of multiple European breeding programmes, Thoiry strives to protect and conserve the heritage of animals facing extinction, with the hope of being able to reintroduce some into their natural habitat.
The Thoiry Zoo is:
- 560,000 visitors/year
- A domain of 150 hectares
- The 3th most visited leisure park in the Île-de-France region
- 1,500 animals and over 180 species
- 60 animal species endangered with extinction
- 800 tonnes of food/year for the animals
- 60 permanent employees & 30 seasonal workers
