Pairi Daiza
About
Pairi Daiza is a sprawling zoological and botanical park situated in the heart of Belgium's stunning Wallonia region. Covering 75 hectares, the visitor folds through nine themed worlds that span continents – from the lush jungle of Indonesia to the icy Arctic, the Grand Congo and the mythical lands of the dinosaurs. With 7,500 animals representing nearly 800 species, the park brings the wonders of wildlife to life in authentic, purpose‑built habitats that respect both creature welfare and conservation. Whether you’re a curious child, a devoted family, or a wildlife enthusiast, a visit to Pairi Daiza gives you the chance to walk along a path that one day was a panda’s stroll, to hear a humpback whale engineered with life‑supporting water, or to witness the birth of a “baby” animal right before your eyes. The combination of high‑quality exhibits, interactive experiences and an ever‑changing landscape makes Pairi Daiza a highlight of Europe’s summer escapades, where learning and adventure travel hand in hand.
