The Reptile Farm Discovering the fascinating world of reptiles in Ariège

La Ferme des Reptiles: an unforgettable family adventure in the heart of Ariège

Treat your children to an original and educational outing in the picturesque Couserans Valley in Ariège! La Ferme des Reptiles is a perfect destination to amaze young and old alike. This story of family passion, initiated by Pierre Banzept in 1996 and continued today by his daughter Chany, creates a place where transmission and sharing are at the heart of the experience. Located in La Bastide de Sérou, between Foix and Saint-Girons, in a modern and welcoming ecological building, the farm offers a fun immersion in the fascinating world of reptiles. Children, naturally curious, will be captivated by these extraordinary animals presented in an accessible and safe way.

The Reptile Farm: surprising encounters that will amaze your children

Imagine your children's delight at the 93 species and around 200 residents of the farm! The trail, designed for families, begins gently in the garden among the lizards and turtles. With eyes full of wonder, your children can then enter the enclosure of 16 giant turtles and stroke their shells, and meet the impressive Hulk and his 130 kilos (depending on the weather)! Inside the tropical building, a whole adventure awaits the family: caimans, boas, pythons, snakes and many other fascinating and venomous species. The highlight of the visit? Handling the reptiles, touching a snake for the first time, a unique experience that often transforms apprehensions into fascination!

The Reptile Farm: special activities for curious children and groups

For young explorers aged 7 and over, the "Carer of the Day" program is an exceptional adventure ! Your children will join the team from 9:00 a.m. to participate in daily care : feeding, maintenance, observation of the nurseries...
