Le Pal was founded in 1973 and is an animal theme park, which means a day here is split between two things: rides and animals. The entry ticket covers both. It gets you onto the rides your child is tall enough for, plus the animal park, the animal shows, the animal explorations and the keeper talks, so you don’t have to pick in advance which side of the park gets the day.
The trade-off is height. Almost every ride has a minimum height, and on most of them children below a second, taller mark have to ride with an adult. So a toddler will spend more of the day with the animals than on the rides, and an older sibling may still need a grown-up next to them. Check the ride list against your children’s heights before you promise anyone a particular ride.
On the Ascension and Pentecost holiday weekends the park recommends coming on the Saturday or Sunday at Ascension and on the Monday at Pentecost.
