Information

Pairi Daiza, an immersive journey into the heart of the living world

A truly exceptional destination, Pairi Daiza invites visitors to experience a journey around the world without leaving Belgium. Far more than a zoo, it is an immersive experience where nature, culture and emotion come together in spectacular settings designed both for the well-being of animals and the wonder of visitors.

A unique animal and botanical park in Europe

With more than 7,500 animals and nearly 800 rare species, Pairi Daiza ranks among the most remarkable wildlife parks in the world. Animals live in vast environments inspired by their natural habitats, integrated into an exceptional landscape and botanical design where every detail contributes to the experience.

A journey through the cultures of the world

The visit unfolds through a succession of themed worlds: Asian temples, Himalayan landscapes, African plains and exotic gardens. Each area transports visitors elsewhere through architecture, atmosphere and scenery. It is easy to lose track of time, surrounded by the sounds of nature, the murmur of water and the visual richness of the surroundings.

Memorable encounters with wildlife

At Pairi Daiza, encounters with animals become powerful moments of emotion: watching elephants roam peacefully, pausing before majestic big cats, or marveling at the giant pandas. These unforgettable moments often leave visitors with a rare feeling of a deep connection with the living world.

An experience that continues overnight

For those who wish to go even further, it is possible to stay overnight in the heart of the park, in accommodations offering a unique proximity to the animals. This allows visitors to experience Pairi Daiza in a different way, following the rhythm of sunrise and sunset, when the park becomes quieter and more intimate.

New experiences every year

Each year, Pairi Daiza enriches the visitor experience with new attractions. In 2025, the largest exhibition of polar dinosaurs and Ice Age animals was inaugurated. Life-size, realistic and animated reconstructions immerse visitors in a distant past, when spectacular creatures once dominated the planet.
