Educational farm in Île-de-France: why not go for something bigger?
Are you looking for an educational farm in the Île-de-France region for a family outing, a school field trip, or an activity with your recreation center?
The traditional educational farm has its merits. But in Seine-et-Marne, just 30 minutes from Paris, Parrot World offers everything an educational farm has to offer… and so much more. A 14-hectare immersive animal park, a giant one-hectare aviary, jaguars, Patagonian penguins, a hands-on animal care workshop for kids, and a bistronomic restaurant with a view of the alpacas and Cameroonian sheep!
Much more than just an educational farm
Parrot World ticks all the boxes
The educational farms of Île-de-France—Fermes de Gally, Bergerie Nationale de Rambouillet, and Ferme de Paris in the Bois de Vincennes—meet very specific expectations. Whether you’re looking for an educational farm in the 94 or 77 departments in the heart of the countryside, Parrot World meets all these expectations:
- Direct contact with friendly animals: dwarf goats, alpacas, pigs, and sheep welcome children as soon as they enter the Children’s Ranch, the park’s mini-farm.
- Educational activities throughout the day: caretakers guide visitors to explain the animals’ diets and behaviors.
- Welcome for school groups and recreation centers: a dedicated package with group rates and programs tailored for elementary school students.
- Natural outdoor setting: 14 hectares of greenery, picnic areas, and an extra-large playground.
The Children's Ranch
The mini-farm in the heart of the park
At the heart of Parrot World, the Children’s Ranch is the area that most closely resembles a traditional educational farm—and that’s by design. Here, visitors will find alpacas, dwarf goats, pigs, and sheep in a grassy area where children can freely approach them, observe them up close, and experience that moment of connection with the animals—which remains the very essence of any educational farm.
It is a gentle space for first encounters, essential for the youngest visitors. Before crossing the aviary or discovering the jaguars, children find something familiar here: the warmth of an animal they can touch, feed, and observe at eye level.
For families looking for an educational farm near Paris or Meaux, the Ranch des Enfants is an ideal starting point.
The giant one-hectare aviary
A unique experience in the Île-de-France region
This is undoubtedly the most memorable experience at Parrot World, and it has no equal among educational farms in the Île-de-France region. A giant, one-hectare aviary is home to 350 free-flying birds: scarlet macaws, Amazon parrots, flamingos, toucans, cockatiels… The birds fly freely above the visitors.
Here, the immersion is total: the sound of wings, the colors, the constant movement—it’s a sensory experience that children will remember for a long time. Discovering the animals of Parrot World in their recreated natural habitat is a concrete and vivid demonstration of biodiversity!
No educational farm in Paris or the Seine-et-Marne department offers such an immersive experience!
Our South American ambassadors
Parrot World goes far beyond farm animals. This immersive wildlife park is home to wildlife from South America and Patagonia that no educational farm in the Île-de-France region can offer:
Jaguars:
Legendary Predators
Meet our majestic jaguars, the true kings of the Amazon rainforest. Marvel at the power and grace of this great cat, whose presence commands respect and silence. Watching them move between land and water is one of the highlights of the visit.
Giant Otters:
The Acrobats of the Rivers
Meet our giant otters, the true stars of the Amazon. Watch their spectacular agility as they dive, dash about, and play in the water. These social and expressive animals never fail to captivate visitors of all ages.
Capybaras:
the stars of the park
Meet the world’s largest rodents. Capybaras charm people of all ages with their peaceful nature and endearing appearance. Watching them lounge by the water is a delightful experience that no one wants to miss.
Included in the price of the day pass
PLAYGROUND
The park's XXL playground invites children to imagine themselves at the top of the rainforest.
MINI-FARM
An unforgettable walk alongside dwarf goats, pigs, and alpacas!
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Educational activities are available throughout the day.
Junior Zookeeper
The flagship educational workshop for children
While educational farms offer workshops on baking or gardening, Parrot World takes things a step further with a unique experience: "Junior Zookeeper” an immersive workshop designed for children ages 7 to 11 who spend a morning stepping into the shoes of a real animal caretaker.
What does the morning entail?
Accompanied by a professional park caretaker, each child spends two hours (from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM) caring for the animals at the Children’s Ranch and the capybaras.
• Preparing meals for the animals
• Feeding the alpacas, dwarf goats, coatis, parakeets, and capybaras
• Cleaning and maintaining the living areas
• Observing animal behavior and interacting directly with the animals
School Visits and Groups
A genuine alternative to educational farms in the Île-de-France region
Teachers, recreation center staff, and nonprofit leaders: Parrot World welcomes groups year-round with specialized educational programs designed to align with school curricula. Exploring biodiversity, raising awareness about endangered species, and learning about animal care—these themes naturally align with science and environmental education curricula. For schools in the 77, Paris, or the 94, Parrot World offers a field trip that is both accessible and far more enriching than a traditional educational farm.
The park is a member of EAZA(European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and AFdPZ(French Association of Zoological Parks), two organizations that guarantee high standards in animal welfare and educational programs.
The Panoramic
A gourmet break with a view of Cameroon’s alpacas and sheep
Just a stone's throw from Parrot World, on the same grounds as the Domaine de Crécy, Le Panoramic is one of the most unique spots in Seine-et-Marne. This bistronomic restaurant, open to everyone, serves homemade French-South American cuisine!
What makes Le Panoramic unique? Its panoramic terraces look directly out onto the enclosures of alpacas and Cameroonian sheep—an African breed with large spiral horns, spectacular and rare in the Île-de-France region. From your table, your gaze takes in the lush green golf course and the animals grazing peacefully just a few meters away. Dining while watching alpacas graze under the Seine-et-Marne sun is an experience few restaurants in France can offer!
