Why include Parrot World in your school trip to Paris?
Most school trips to Paris revolve around the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Disneyland Paris. They are must-sees, but several days in the city centre mean a lot of travelling, queues and a tight budget.
Adding a day outside the city, in Seine-et-Marne, gives your pupils something different: space to move, hands-on science and a breath of nature. And the logistics are ideal: Disneyland Paris and Parrot World are only 20 minutes apart, which keeps coach journeys short and makes the most of your group's time and budget.
2-day itinerary: Paris and an educational day in Seine-et-Marne
This itinerary is a starting point. Adapt it to your pupils' age, your learning objectives and your coach operator's timetable.
Day 1: Paris, culture and landmarks
- Morning: an iconic landmark such as the Eiffel Tower, followed by a walk around the neighbourhood.
- Afternoon: a museum linked to your curriculum (art, history, languages) or a cruise on the Seine.
- Evening: a short debrief based on questions the pupils prepared before the trip.
Day 2: Parrot World, science and nature near Disneyland
- Day at the park: 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris, the class explores two immersive areas, Amazonia Trek and Patagonia Trek, at its own pace.
- Lunch: a covered picnic area in case of bad weather.
- The perfect combination: many groups pair a day at the Disney parks with an educational day at Parrot World.
Looking for a day out near Disneyland Paris?
If your group is already visiting the Disney parks, you can add a different kind of day, away from the rides. Parrot World is about 20 minutes from Disneyland Paris and 40 from central Paris, so it fits into your stay without a long journey.
It is the ideal educational complement to Marne-la-Vallée: a calm day in the heart of nature that balances the excitement of the parks with discovery and learning.

Why a wildlife park belongs on an educational trip
Parrot World is an immersive wildlife park near Paris inspired by the habitats of South America.
- Observe: hundreds of parrots fly freely in a giant aviary, and pupils see jaguars, giant otters, capybaras and Humboldt penguins up close.
- Explore: two immersive trails, Amazonia Trek and Patagonia Trek, which each class follows at its own pace.
- Learn: before the visit, teachers receive an educational booklet with content and observation prompts for every age group, from nursery to upper secondary. Topics: species adaptation, food chains, habitats and biodiversity.
- A responsible park: Parrot World is also a sanctuary for abandoned parrots and is committed to species conservation, a concrete starting point for discussing animal welfare and conservation in class.
On request, a guided tour in English is available (supplement per pupil). Free animal talks, the mini-farm and the XXL playground are included in the self-guided visit.
Ideas by age group
Whatever your pupils' age, the visit adapts. Here is how school groups make the most of the day.
Ages 3 to 7
A shorter day: the mini-farm, the playground and watching the animals with the booklet are enough to fill the day.
Ages 8 to 11
Focus on classification, habitats and food chains. Pupils observe how South American species adapt to their environment and sort them by group and diet. Back in class, the visit becomes a poster or a short presentation.
Ages 11 to 15
A conservation angle: why parrots are abandoned, the role of a sanctuary and how modern zoos contribute to biodiversity.
Ages 15 to 18
The visit as a case study in biology, geography or environmental science.
