Petting Zoo near Disneyland Paris: a Farm and Wildlife Park 20 Minutes Away
Staying at Disneyland Paris or in Val d'Europe and looking for a petting zoo for the kids? Parrot World, in Crécy-la-Chapelle, is just 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris and 40 minutes from central Paris. Children can meet goats, alpacas, pigs and sheep at the mini-farm, then walk through a giant aviary with 350 free-flying birds and come face to face with jaguars, giant otters and Humboldt penguins. A calm, green half-day or full day out, away from the queues, from €14.50 per child.
More than a petting zoo
Why families staying near Disneyland Paris come here
Parrot World offers everything you would expect from a petting zoo or children's farm, plus a 14-hectare wildlife park dedicated to South America:
- Hands-on time with friendly animals: dwarf goats, alpacas, pigs and sheep at the Children's Ranch, the park's mini-farm.
- Keeper talks throughout the day: our keepers explain what the animals eat and how they live, at feeding times for jaguars, penguins, parrots and capybaras.
- Easy with small children: pushchair-friendly paths, picnic areas, a giant treetop playground and on-site restaurants.
- A perfect rest day between park days: 20 minutes by car or taxi from the Disneyland Paris hotels, with free parking.
The Children's Ranch
The mini-farm: goats, alpacas, pigs and sheep
At the heart of Parrot World, the Children's Ranch is our petting zoo area. Here, children will find alpacas, dwarf goats, pigs and sheep in a grassy paddock where they can approach them freely, watch them up close and enjoy that first moment of contact with an animal.
It is a gentle place for first encounters, ideal for toddlers and younger children. Before crossing the aviary or meeting the jaguars, children find something familiar here: the warmth of an animal they can touch and observe at eye level.
If you are looking for a petting farm near Disneyland Paris, the Children's Ranch is the perfect place to start your visit.
The giant one-hectare aviary
Walk among 350 free-flying birds
This is the most memorable part of a visit to Parrot World, and something no ordinary petting zoo offers. A giant, one-hectare aviary is home to 350 free-flying birds: scarlet macaws, Amazon parrots, flamingos, ibises, cockatiels… The birds fly freely all around you.
The immersion is total: the sound of wings, the colours, the constant movement. It is a sensory experience children remember for a long time, and a vivid way to discover the animals of Parrot World in a recreated natural habitat.
Our South American ambassadors
Parrot World goes far beyond farm animals. This immersive wildlife park is home to animals from South America and Patagonia that you will not find at a petting zoo:
Jaguars:
Legendary Predators
Meet our majestic jaguars, the true kings of the Amazon rainforest. Marvel at the power and grace of this great cat, whose presence commands respect and silence. Watching them move between land and water is one of the highlights of the visit.
Giant Otters:
The Acrobats of the Rivers
Meet our giant otters, the true stars of the Amazon. Watch their spectacular agility as they dive, dash about, and play in the water. These social and expressive animals never fail to captivate visitors of all ages.
Capybaras:
the stars of the park
Meet the world’s largest rodents. Capybaras charm people of all ages with their peaceful nature and endearing appearance. Watching them lounge by the water is a delightful experience that no one wants to miss.
Included in the price of the day pass
Playground
The park's XXL playground invites children to imagine themselves at the top of the rainforest.
Mini-farm
An unforgettable walk alongside dwarf goats, pigs, and alpacas!
Keeper talks
Educational activities are available throughout the day.
Junior Zookeeper
A morning as a zookeeper for children aged 7 to 11
While most petting zoos stop at stroking the animals, Parrot World takes things a step further with a unique experience: "Junior Zookeeper” an immersive workshop designed for children ages 7 to 11 who spend a morning stepping into the shoes of a real animal caretaker.
What does the morning involve? Every Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by a professional keeper, each child spends two hours (10:30am to 12:30pm) caring for the animals at the Children's Ranch and the capybaras. €70 per child, day pass included.
• Preparing meals for the animals
• Feeding the alpacas, dwarf goats, coatis, parakeets, and capybaras
• Cleaning and maintaining the living areas
• Observing animal behavior and interacting directly with the animals
School Trips and Groups
A school trip near Disneyland Paris
Teachers and group leaders: Parrot World welcomes groups year-round with specialized educational programs designed to align with school curricula. Exploring biodiversity, raising awareness about endangered species, and learning about animal care—these themes naturally align with science and environmental education curricula. For schools visiting Paris or Disneyland Paris, including UK school trips, Parrot World offers a day out that is easy to reach and far richer than a traditional farm visit.
The park is a member of EAZA(European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and AFdPZ(French Association of Zoological Parks), two organizations that guarantee high standards in animal welfare and educational programs.

The Panoramic
Lunch overlooking alpacas and Cameroon sheep
Just a stone's throw from Parrot World, on the same grounds as the Domaine de Crécy, Le Panoramic is one of the most unique spots in Seine-et-Marne. This bistronomic restaurant, open to everyone, serves homemade French-South American cuisine!
What makes Le Panoramic unique? Its panoramic terraces look directly out onto the enclosures of alpacas and Cameroonian sheep—an African breed with large spiral horns, spectacular and rare in the Île-de-France region. From your table, your gaze takes in the lush green golf course and the animals grazing peacefully just a few meters away. Dining while watching alpacas graze under the Seine-et-Marne sun is an experience few restaurants in France can offer!
