Zoo offering a possibility to attend the meal of meerkats, with animations around the parrots during the weekends.
Upie Zoo used to be a bird zoo. In recent years, mammals have been added. Today, the 6-hectare park is home to over 700 animals of 160 different species. All categories of the animal kingdom are represented, from parrots to birds of prey, from fennecs to meerkats, from turtles to lemurs, from various European and exotic biotopes. A number of the species on display are involved in conservation programs. Recently, fennecs joined the African zone. The latest arrivals are servals, among the felines. This family-friendly animal park features a mini-farm, a tropical greenhouse and an inflatable play area. Allow at least half a day, but spending the whole day may be an even better idea, especially as it's possible to have lunch at the snack bar from April to October, or to picnic in the park. Recurring events from April to October include a flight of birds of prey and an animated observation of parrots, and from February to October you can watch lemurs, pelicans and meerkats, all in a 100% natural atmosphere. This is a magical place in the Drôme, ideal for a fun and educational family visit. Courses are offered on a variety of themes: birds, birds of prey, an animal species, with dedicated carers for children of different ages and even adults. You can celebrate your birthday at Upie Zoo and even sponsor an animal.

En plus des animations habituelles du zoo, les jeux pour halloween sont vraiment bien: chasse aux bonbons, présentation et photos avec des chouettes/hiboux, enquête pour gagner surprises...
La journée passe vite et les,enfants ne s'ennuient pas!
Cages très petites, surtout celles des oiseaux, hibous et chouettes, on ressent le mal être des animaux...
C'est vraiment dommage pour la surface qu'il y a, des cages et des espaces beaucoup plus grands pourraient être construits... Surtout avec le tarif demandé qui pourrait servir à agrandir ces cages
Ceci dit les mises en scènes et décoration pour Halloween étaient sympas, ainsi que le personnel
Mais sans plus pour nous les adultes
Lors du goûter des pelicans on nous explique qu'ils leur donne des poussins morts récupérés dans des élevages industriels car le poisson coûte trop cher, mais est ce bon pour les pélicans? Surtout qu'il n'y a pas grand chose a manger dans un poussin? Et on nous raconte que cela permet de lutter contre le gaspillage alimentaire. C'est un peu nous prendre pour des imbéciles non?!
