Our take
Kangaroos, wallabies and coypus in Saint-Nectaire, in an animal park geared towards education, with a keeper-for-a-day option.
Animal park in Saint-Nectaire: coypus, kangaroos, wallabies, llamas, marmots and prairie dogs. 2026 season: from February to early November.
At Boissières, on the road to Murol, the park trades under the name Parc pédagogique Myocastors et Kangourous. You can see coypus (myocastors), kangaroos, wallabies, llamas, marmots and prairie dogs.
The stated aim is educational. The park also offers a keeper-for-a-day option, from age 6: 3 hours 30 covering the preparation of the park and the rations, approaching the animals and a tour of the site.
The 2026 season runs from 7 February to 1 November. Outside July and August, it is open every afternoon from 14:30 to 18:00, with ticket sales until 17:00. Allow €9.50 from ages 3 to 10 and €14 from age 11, free under 2 (2026 prices).
