A Giant Walk-Through Aviary, Unique Near Paris
Spend an unforgettable summer surrounded by free-flying parrots
The park's star attraction is one of a kind in the Paris region: a 10,000 m² open-air walk-through aviary where you stroll freely among more than 200 free-flying tropical birds from South America.
Blue-and-yellow macaws, scarlet macaws, Amazon parrots, conures... the sheer variety of species and how close you get to the birds make it a truly immersive experience. With wingspans of over a meter, the macaws are especially spectacular in summer, when they're at their most active in the sunshine.
Just a few steps away, a dedicated aviary is home to African grey parrots rescued from illegal trafficking and abandonment: making Parrot World one of the largest parrot sanctuaries in Europe.

Sleeping with animals
Sleeping among the animals in the heart of a wildlife park is an experience like no other. Summer is the best time to do it, on warm July and August evenings you can watch the animals at sunset from your private terrace, listen to the sounds of wildlife at night, and wake up to the calls of the parrots before the park opens to the public!
Included with every lodge stay: dinner at Le Panoramic restaurant, breakfast, your overnight stay, two-day park entry, and one special activity of your choice in the park.
Jaguar Lodge
Floor-to-ceiling windows give you a panoramic view straight into the jaguar enclosure. Fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle and wake up face to face with one of the world's most majestic big cats, just behind the glass. (Up to 4 guests.)
Sleep beside the jaguars
Amazon Lodges
Built on stilts above the river, right beside the giant aviary. Parrots, herons and scarlet ibises come to perch on your balcony at dawn. Inspired by traditional Amazonian villages. (Up to 4 guests.)
Sleep among the parrots
Pantanal Lodge
Overlooking a water garden where scarlet ibises, parrots and night herons come to shelter. A nod to the vast wetlands of the Pantanal, between Brazil and Paraguay. Perfect for families. (Up to 6 guests.)
SLEEPING WITH ANIMALS
The Domaine de Crécy
A complete nature destination near Paris
Parrot World sits within an even bigger setting: just 200 meters away lies the Domaine de Crécy, a 110-hectare estate on the banks of the Grand Morin river, a stone's throw from the medieval village of Crécy-la-Chapelle, nicknamed the "Venice of Brie".
On the same estate, the Crécy Golf Club has two courses, including the famous Vignoly course designed by Arnold Palmer (the only one of its kind in France) plus beginner lessons for ages 5 and up.
The Suites du Domaine de Crécy offer 28 elegant rooms if you'd like to extend your stay in beautiful countryside. For families, it's the perfect way to turn a day at the park into a real weekend in nature: Parrot World on day one, then golf or a riverside walk along the Grand Morin on day two!
Le Panoramic Restaurant
Bistro-style fine dining, just 200 meters from the park
For a memorable meal just a stone's throw from Disneyland Paris, head to Le Panoramic, the restaurant at the Domaine de Crécy in Crécy-la-Chapelle.
Le Panoramic serves French–South American bistro-style fine dining, created by chef José Guerra Madrid. Originally from Colombia, he previously worked at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris. Every dish is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, blending French and South American influences into plates that are as indulgent as they are refined.
