Zoo d'Amnéville
One of France's most popular zoos, with about 2,000 animals; the white tiger show and birds-of-prey flight display are favorites with families.
Amnéville Zoo sits in a forest roughly 20 km north of Metz. It covers about 18 hectares and houses around 2,000 animals, including white tigers, gorillas, red pandas, and polar bears. Every day the zoo hosts the tiger show “Tiger World,” along with sea lion and birds-of-prey flight shows, making it Lorraine's most popular destination for families with children. Admission is about 35 euros. The zoo is about a 25-minute drive away, and nearby leisure facilities include thermal baths and an indoor ski centre.
