I rarely post reviews because I don't care enough to bother, but my goodness was our day absolutely awful at Parc Safari. We got there at 11 and waited until 12:53 to actually get into the park. By the time everybody makes it through the unbelievable wait to get into the park, everybody is impatient, kids are screaming crying all around you because they've had enough... It's just awful. And it stayed awful. You could tell every kid in that place was done right from the start and their parents too.

Staff is incredibly unhelpful, from the ~10 year old boy employee at the entrance who said a map was in the magazine he gave us, when it wasn't and apparently, he was the ONLY source for maps, to the 12 year old girl employee who begrudgingly answered questions about the animals to the other 10 year old boy employee who pointed us in the direction of the bathroom, which was locked. The only bathroom we found that was open was by the water park and there was a line out the door on the women's side. The toilets are from 1970 too, with misfit lids on them that barely flush.

Not one thing about this experience was pleasant. People were so frustrated about the traffic to get in that they honked all through the safari part, clearly spooking the animals. Nobody followed the rules about what to feed the animals and nobody cares. The staff certainly doesn't. We saw a woman throw something that looked like garbage at the elephants through the fence right beside a staff member and the staff member said nothing and just drove on by. People were feeding carrots left and right in spite of the signs everywhere saying not to feed carrots. Employees didn't care about that either.

The staff and setup of Parc Safari sets the tone for angry, selfish visitors and it's truly an awful waste of money. The staff doesn't care and it's obvious. And on top of that, a lot of the animals look bored, pacing on trodden paths that they've obviously paced upon for months, with very little actual habitat enrichment or space.

We won't be going back ever again, in spite of not being able to see everything because of how much time we wasted in line to get in.

Truly awful. I thought it was going to be a fun day of showing my kids elephants and whatnot, but Parc Safari actually made me feel like the world is a worse place. I mean, who throws garbage at an elephant?! COME ON.
