After the success of the first edition, in 2016, the Zoo of Paris, also known as the Zoo de Vincennes, is holding a 2nd edition of its nocturnals in June and July, 2017. At nightfall, the visitors are invited to visit the park differently, and to go meet the animals. Several animations await them, such as the feeding of sea lions or the presentation of lions, but also the commented bedtime of the animals of the African plain. The youngest children also have activities specially dedicated to them: introduction to drawing or giant bubbles. In addition, this year, the park offers a novelty: a sensory route on the theme of the biodiversity. With it, young and older children can walk barefoot on grounds identical to those which can be found in the enclosures of animals, put on glasses to see as a carnivore, and many other surprises. Lastly, the Nocturnes du Parc Zoologique de Paris (Nocturnals of the Zoo of Paris) are also the opportunity for adults to enjoy a musical happy hour, and experience a special “afterwork”!
