Come meet our little ones!

Not only are they precious moments, but births at the Zoo help to protect rare or endangered species.

Come meet our newborns, whether furry, feathered or scaly, and see how some parents keep a close watch over them!

The Exceptional Birth of a little Andean Condor

The Exceptional Birth of a little Andean Condor

Our team of specialists created a scientific protocol based on some of the most important American zoological institutions’ accumulated experiences in order to protect the baby from different attacks by the breeding male. The objective was to have the fledgling be raised by a human, without any imprinting on the chick. The small bird, a female, was hatched last June 21.

Testimonials

First time visiting here on our annual summer week in Québec. We went for the 2 day family pass, and had an amazing time. The 2 days allowed us to take our time around the park, and gave plenty of time as well for cooling off at the Amazoo. We'll definitely come back!

JR Bélanger

I had an amazing time here with my family! My kids absolutely loved it. Amazing experience :)

Mario Sevo

Amazing place to take the family! Lots of animals to see, amazing water park and fun rides. Great packages available with hotels close by for out of town visitors. Highly recommend!
