Beyond Disneyland Paris: Discover Parrot World this Easter 2026

Beyond Disneyland Paris: Why Parrot World should be on every British & Welsh family's Easter 2026 itinerary
You've booked the Eurostar, sorted the hotel, and planned every parade at Disneyland Paris. But what about the days when even the magic kingdom starts to feel like one long queue? This Easter 2026, there is a remarkable alternative or rather, the perfect companion sitting just 20 minutes from the theme park !
Parrot World, nestled in the Seine-et-Marne countryside at Crécy-la-Chapelle, is the kind of discovery that British and Welsh families make and immediately wish they'd known about sooner.
What Is Parrot World?
The immersive wildlife park near Disneyland Paris
Parrot World is Île-de-France's first immersive wildlife park entirely dedicated to the biodiversity of South America. Built on a former Brie farmland estate, the park transports visitors into two vast, distinct ecosystems: the lush Amazonia Trek and the windswept Patagonia Trek. Together they are home to over 600 animals, many of which roam in semi-freedom alongside you.
What you'll encounter: jaguars viewable through underwater panoramic glass, giant Amazon otters splashing in their river, Humboldt penguins, capybaras, coatis, nandus, guanacos, red ibises, flamingos and more than 200 parrots (macaws, amazons, conures) soaring freely above your head inside one of Europe's biggest aviaries.
There are no animal shows, no tricks, no performances. Every interaction is led by trained wildlife keepers who are passionate about conservation. The philosophy ethical, educational, animal-first will feel immediately familiar to British families accustomed to Chester Zoo, Longleat or Whipsnade. The quality, equally, will impress.
The Easter Egg Hunt
4, 5 & 6 April 2026
England's Easter school holidays run from 30 March to 10 April 2026. Welsh school holidays extend even further from 3 to 17 April. Parrot World's Easter programme lands right in the heart of this window.
On Saturday 4, Sunday 5 and Monday 6 April 2026, the park hosts its Grande Chasse aux Œufs a fully organised chocolate egg hunt set in a dedicated, secured outdoor zone :
- Age-appropriate sessions: Separate time slots for ages 3-6 and ages 7-11, so every child hunts at their own pace.
- Every child wins: All participants leave with their chocolate haul no empty-handed tears at the end.
- No extra booking required: The egg hunt is included in your standard park entrance ticket

Why Parrot World Is the Perfect Complement to a Disney Holiday ?
Slow down. Get closer.
Parrot World is the kind of place that makes time slow down. There are no queues for animals, no fast passes, no gift shop at every corner just a jaguar watching you up close, a macaw flying over your head, and a penguin waddling over to take a fish from your hand.
It's the kind of experience children and adults don't merely enjoy. They remember it.
Add a night at the immersive lodges, base yourself at the Domaine de Crécy for countryside calm, enjoy Easter Brunch at Le Panoramic, and you have one of the best-value, most varied family Easter breaks in Europe all within Seine-et-Marne.

The kids absolutely loved it!
One of the best things we did near Disneyland Paris. The jaguars were extraordinary and the kids are still talking about feeding the penguins!
