It was great to visit a park and see families enjoying the summer sun. There were many people there, all ages. The kids loved the freedom of being able to run around the the parents were enjoying the relaxing surroundings.

The zoo was fun and we rode on the trikes- good way to get around the park exploring the various parts and around the lake.Allow at least 2 hours there especially if with kids. There are lots of play areas for them-great place with lovely peaceful areas as well as nice and noisy parts.

My friends and me loved the Parc de la Tete d´Or. The greenery is beautiful and there are a lot of spots perfect for making awesome photos. We were impressed by the underwater tunnel. The free zoo botanical garden are a big plus as well. The lake is wonderful as well. If it hadn´t been raining we would have definitely... More

This park puts many to shame. Several well-cared for acres of botanical gardens, lakes, greenhouses, even a zoo! The park is clean and well equipped with restrooms and lots of benches. You can easily get snacks from vendors and simply enjoy the nature around you. Lovely way to spend the day!

Large park with a free zoo and botanical garden. Not the fanciest places but you certainly don't get free zoos in North America. Lots of families.

We went riding through this park on an overcast & windy Sunday afternoon. It was packed! Local families teaching kids to ride & enjoying the sights. We came around a corner & there was a bear enclosure! We then saw lemurs, crocodiles, flamingoes, leopards, giraffe, zebra & a host of other animals. All for free. What a bonus! The zoo... More

We spent the afternoon strolling around, firstly by the lake and then around the zoo which we were surprised to find was free. It had a good range of animals and there were heaps of families having a good time. We then went into the gardens which are very beautiful. Most fascinating and lucky for us to be there at... More
