Happy Forest Parc Accrobranche Et Parc Animalier

Nice little park for kids. The main attractions are the zip lines/tree climbing areas with varying levels of difficulty. You can find something for 3+ to adults easily. The safety gear provided is good and they provide instructions to easily navigate the challenges once you are in the climbing area. Staff is nearby keeping an eye on everyone. There is a small zoo with common animals which are good enough for kids. The kids can also ride ponies with parents leading the way. Finally there is a small maize labyrinth enough for small kids to find their way out of the field. There is a small shop and canteen to feed if needed. Overall a nice place for tree climbing activities.

This is very worth visiting if you especially have active teenagers. The accro course has different ability courses progressing to a 'black' course. You can build from the easier courses. I took a six foot fit sixteen year old who enjoyed doing every one, but even he found the 'black' course hard, but was pleased he did it. I would particularly recommend it for 12y to adults. Some younger children may find the system for attaching and moving between wires a little bit difficult. Top tip 1/ if you have any cycling gloves or leather gloves use them. 2/ have a change of loths in a bag, I saw a couple of children that managed to get covered in mud! From arrival, watching the safety video and doing all but one course (including the hardest black course) took just over two hours. There are a few tables and you can walk round and watch take photos and buy drinks. Not the cheapest afternoon, but he enjoyed it. There are staff on hand and seems reasonably safe.

Good - my kids tried accrobranche (9&11 years) and really enjoyed it - some relatively simple, some quite scary. But. The kids had done it before luckily so they roughly remembered what to do - if not the video explaining what to do (had English subtitles) wasn't enough for me! Could have done with more instructors/helpers for newbies and for safety. And we arrived at 4pm, once we had paid the chap on the till said it closed at 6pm - we later found out that actually they couldn't start any new trails after 5.15pm - all of this would have been fine if we had been warned before we paid full price.

Nice place in the woods, but only for french tourists. It was not a surprise that most of the people in that region of France do not speak English. But I expected that that place would offer rudimentary English skills. It started with the most important, the safety instructions. You are led into a room where a 5-minute movie completely in French is shown. So far, so good. When we were brought out of the room I kindly advised the guy that seeing that movie in French or having seen a cartoon, would have had the same effect. My comment was gently acknowledged. I was led to the parcours and left alone with my safety concerns. After that frustrating moment, I did my best and nobody got hurt. My daughter after a while started to get bored and asked to ride a pony. I went back to the reception and asked to get to the animal farm and to get a pony tour. The lady at the reception just looked at me like a deer shortly before a car accident. She did not get a word I said. Somehow she was able to type in something into her system and claimed about 20€ for that. I felt being robbed, but what could I say? On one hand a girl crying to see animals and riding a pony. On the other hand a totally overwhelmed lady, surprised that at this place of the earth people show up that do not speak French. I paid, but it left a bad taste in the mouth. Summary: If you are French, this seems to be a nice place. If you are not, I recommend you to stay out. Safety first!!! Nothing happened. If something would have happened, ...

NOT a very happy forest. We were upset by the treatment of animals at this park. We witnessed a large horse kick a Shetland pony which fell over on its back. We informed two staff members who agreed it was "sad" and that it happens often. We also noticed a small chick on our first time around the animal enclosures. When returning later on, we saw the chick facedown in some water and realised that it had died without any staff members noticing. The size of the enclosures does not seem to be big enough for the animals there including horses, wallabies and parrots. The staff do not seem interested in the safety or enjoyment of those who go on the high ropes. One of our party got stuck at a certain point and we waited a long time trying to catch a staff members' attention before a member of our party went over to them and asked for assistance. Would not recommend attending if you care about animal welfare
