Mini-ferme de l'Orangerie

Very nice open air (free) mini zoo to discover some interesting animal while walking in the park

It's fine inside. Problem is the opening times online are all wrong. Reality is, it's barely open. I think at the moment on some days it's open from 1415 to 17. Quite different from the 8-6 eveyday stated online.

Oh what a beautiful place to find in the middle of the city on a lovely sunny afternoon!

The place was completely renovated in 2019. The setting is friendly and children can feed the goats, sheep, donkey and pony, as well as visit rabbits and guinea pigs. There are also ducks and hens of Alsace, and a room aces books on animals, coloring and a game to find who owns the feathers on the image. The children were very happy and the adults too. I put a star less because despite the staff very caring and friendly it remains a space where animals are still locked and do not have much space.

I find that animals do not have enough space. There are birds in small spaces that can not fly. The mouflons and goats live on concrete. I found that the monkeys were a lot in their pen. So not enough room for them too. They seemed to be bored, seeing can be sad for some. This is just my feeling, but I have seen much better as a zoo and with animals in much better shape.
