Zoo Lille is situated right next to the Cita-Parc, a small and fun attraction park. As both are quite small, it is easy to visit both in one day
Zoo Lille: Perfect for Little Ones
This is a small zoo, but quite enjoyable for young kids. There are several birds, an exotic enclave and a few other animals, like polar foxes and rhinos
There are a few learning structures for kids
And apparently our son is as tall as a zebra at 5 years old
Kids get also a booklet with a treasure hunt and pencils at the entrance. There are also a few booklets that you can download here
You can see here the map
