    Not a shelter. *** Acquiring animal to add more to you collection for the clients eyes is not managing a shelter. The lions, giraffes, tigers, etc. do not live here, they were not SAVED, they live in cages and will stay there until you pay to see them live like that. I recommend Refuge Lobadanaki or Nymous if you REALLY want to help. Otherwise you’re simply encouraging something that should not exist.

    Nice zoo. Good for the price. Very few resting places between the cages, so very tiring. Completely local zoo. It is good just for the price (17$) and the fact that you can hug baby animals. I suggest Zoo Granby for a better experience.

    It is great for kids to interact and feed some barn animals however for the more exotic animals tigers, bears lions etc their enclosure are so so small and it is sad to see. The smell was awful when walking past the lynx as their raw meat was left there for hours in the heat growing mold and bugs. Really felt sorry for the anumals

    Nice cute animals, nice idea, wrong execution. Little to no shade in most of the park. Animals have somewhat small areas with little to no shade as well. This place doesn't feel "natural" at all and more like a showcase of animals. Bring sunscreen (no shade) and lots of water as there's nothing to drink in any location other than the entrance.

    Nice zoo. Needs a little more animation.

  • 5/5 Edouard M. 5 years ago on Google • 25 reviews
    This is an experience that you won't find anywhere else. The proximity with the animal is something that will mark you for life. I would suggest to use one of the guide to go around the park. It is a refuge created by a veterinarian so all the animal are released when they can or kept if they don't have a choice. If you're lucky ask to feed the babies around noon at the nursery ;)

    (Translated by Google) COVID. I was pleasantly surprised with my visit. There are a lot of animals and you can see them up close. In the nursery, we can no longer take baby lions. It’s a 2 hour visit (Original) COVID. J’ai été agréablement surpris de ma visite. Il y a beaucoup d’animaux et on peut les voir de proche. À la pouponnière, on ne peut plus prendre les bébés lions.

  • 3/5 Edith J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Lots of varieties of animals, the nursery we didn't see a lot of animals they were hiding and in times of covid we can't take them but it was ok for us, the anxiety they have to live with getting caught by everyone doesn't have to be very pleasant for them. The site lacks information, few staff on the site, lack of maintenance, strong odors emerge in many places, I know that the animals give off a lot of smell but it was really nauseous and yet 21 degrees ... (Original) Beaucoup de variétés d'animaux, la pouponnière on n'a pas vu beaucoup d'animaux ils se cachaient et en temps de covid on ne peut les prendre mais c'était correct pour nous, l'anxiété qu'ils doivent vivre de se faire prendre par tous et chacun ne doit pas être très agréable pour eux. Le site manque d'indication, peu de personnel sur le site, manque d'entretien, de fortes odeurs se dégagent à bien des endroits, je sais que les animaux dégagent beaucoup d'odeur mais là c'était vraiment nauséabond et pourtant journée à 21 degrés...

    It was a wonderful zoo ! There was such a wide variety of animals, and they all looked happy ! There was so much more energy with the animals than I've seen in most zoos

  • 5/5 Sun S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wir waren noch nie in so einem tollen Zoo! Zu Beginn wurden wir herzlich begrüßt und konnten gleich einige kleinere Tiere im Eingangsbereich bestaunen, die aufgrund der Kälte drinnen untergebracht waren. Die Mitarbeiterinnen waren alle sehr freundlich und kümmern sich sehr gut um die Tiere. Was für ein toller Ort an dem Tiere eine zweite Chance erhalten, jedes hat seine eigene Geschichte. Dieses Jahr gab es mehrere Jungtiere, was zeigt, dass sich die Tiere dort sehr wohl fühlen müssen. Wir sind sehr dankbar für diese tolle Erfahrung und würden (wenn wir es aus Deutschland mal wieder nach Kanada schaffen) gerne wiederkommen!

    ...en arrivant chez moi (Jonquière )avec mon auto devant mon garage de toile (hiver) il avait un oiseau (pigeon) frissonnant(-30 venteux) marchant légèrement qui semblait incapable de s'envoler et me regardant avec ses beaux yeux jaunes me demandant de l' aide ... j'ai été chercher immédiatement une boite de carton et l'ai approché doucement en lui parlant d'un ton doux et rassurant, il s'est reculé 2 fois voulant éviter la boite ...je lui ai parlé de nouveau avec encore plus de douceur et le rassurant et mettant la boite sur le coté lui demandant de nouveau de rentrer ds la boite...à ma grande surprise, il est entré ds la boite en s'accottant ds un coin et immédiatement refermé la boite pour le rentrer ds la maison... je l'ai examiné sans le toucher ds la boite et semblait blessé légèrement à un aile ...j'ai appelé le Zoo de Falardeau lui demandant s'il pouvait m'aider pour examiner le pigeon et le soigner si nécessaire ... une jeune fille m'a répondue gentiement en me disant de l'apporter au Zoo qu'il allait le soigner pour que je puisse le remettre en liberté ds son environnement naturel habituel...je l'ai apporté et été accueilli avec mon pigeon très gentiment et ils l'ont examinés sommairement ds leurs mains (provisoires) me rassurant qu 'il semblait légèrement blessé en attendant que le vétérinaire l'examine plus en profondeur ... ils m'ont dit de rappeler ds 2 ou 3 jrs pour l 'état du pigeon ... et j'ai puis repartir chez moi rassuré ... Je voudrais remercier le Zoo de Falardeau d'avoir été si humain et gentil envers moi et mon pigeon ...merci aux jeunes filles qui prennent à coeur le bien être des animaux par leurs (soins) bon dévouement avec amour et patience... ***** Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Jean Lamontagne

  • 5/5 Cloé Sheehy G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Personally I loved it, we must not forget either that at the base the zoo of Falardeau is a refuge, I went there a few years ago backwards at the base because I do not like the idea of zoo, then I remember talking with the staff about it, and they explained to me that they were originally a refuge and subsequently became a zoo with the arrival of a lion that threatened to euthanize and sincerely one of my best experiences with animals that I have ever had ❤️❤️❤️❤️ (Original) Personnellement j'ai adoré, il ne faut pas oublier non plus que a la base le zoo de Falardeau est un refuge , j'y suis allé il y a quelque année a reculons a la base car je n'aime pas l'idée des zoo , puis je me souvient parler avec le staff a ce sujet , et m'ont expliquer être a la base un refuge et d'être devenu par la suite un zoo avec l'arrivé d'un lion que l'ont menaçait d'euthanasier et sincèrement une de mes meilleures expérience avec les animaux que je n'ai jamais eu ❤️❤️❤️❤️
