Le Zoo sauvage est l'attrait touristique principal de la région du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Il se démarque par ses grands espaces et habitats naturels. Le Zoo se compose d'une section pédestre et du Parc des sentiers de la nature. Le Parc de 324 hectares présente des animaux de l'Amérique du Nord en semi-liberté. Les visiteurs les observent lors d'une balade d'une heure à bord d'un train grillagé. La partie pédestre fait connaître différentes espèces indigènes et exotiques nordiques comme les tigres de l'Amour, les macaques japonais, les chameaux de Bactriane. Le Zoo permet aux familles de profiter d'une ferme pour les enfants, de jeux d'eau et d'aires de pique-nique. De plus, le Zoo présente un film de 15 minutes avec effets spéciaux sur la Boréalie et un film animalier de 45 minutes sur écran géant. Les visiteurs peuvent suivre les collations des animaux afin d'en apprendre plus sur l'espèce. Le Zoo offre un service de restauration et de boutiques souvenirs.
Falardeau Zoo: being a refuge is in our nature.
May 1, 2009 marks the opening of a wildlife observation and agricultural interpretation center in St-David-de-Falardeau, Saguenay.
This center was born thanks to two enthusiasts, Daniel Gagnon and Suzie Girard. For more than 45 years, they have invested, with the help of their children, all their energies and efforts in a leading beef farm. This center helps animals in distress. When these can be safely released, they are released into the wild.
Since 2012 The owners have also acquired various species that people can observe in their natural habitat.
It is therefore with great pride that we invite you to come and visit us.
Tres beau zoo. En fait,c'est plus qu'un zoo,c'est un refuge avec une mission. Ca vaut la peine de prendre un guide. Marie-Hélène a été tout simplement extraordinaire. Read more
