From May 1 to 3, 2026, Zoo d’Amnéville is hosting a weekend of immersive family activities, all included with admission.
For the occasion, performers inspired by the steampunk world of the La Battle des Mondes festival, held at the Cité des Loisirs outside the zoo, will make appearances throughout the park.
Imaginary machines, spectacular costumes, characters from other worlds… No scares here—just curiosity, wonder, and new encounters.
For three days, this imaginative world will come to life along the zoo’s paths, creating a one-of-a-kind blend of nature and fantasy.
A spectacular parade on May 1
On Friday, May 1, a grand parade will make its way through the zoo for about an hour.
The parade will start near the zoo entrance at around 4:50 p.m. and continue along the paths until 5:30 p.m.
Costumes, fantastical creatures, and steampunk flair will transform the zoo into an immersive spectacle.
