The glass tunnel is one of the most popular attractions at Thoiry Zoo. It is a 30-metre long glass tunnel that allows visitors to walk through a pit full of lions or tigers: admire these majestic felines from very close and safe!

If you are visiting the area, we highly recommend that you visit Thoiry Zoo and experience this incredible attraction for yourself.

Thoiry Zoo is known for its commitment to the conservation of endangered species and participates in several conservation and research programmes.
