Pairi Daiza celebrates Carnaval

Two weeks of enchanted celebrations!

February 22 to March 8, the historic part of Cambron-Abbey is transforming into a festive and colorful wonderland, welcoming visitors of all ages. Discover 9 giant masks, including 6 brand-new creations, along with the magical decorations crafted by artists Dominique Maghue and Caroline Hoc.

Enjoy two weeks filled with unique animations, enchanting parades, and moments of wonder in the Amphitheater. A magical experience to be savored before, during, and after your encounter with the 7,500 animals of the park, including the giant pandas Hao Hao and Xing Hui. And of course, Prehi Daiza: Lands of the Past will also be open to visitors!

Highlights:

Right away, to fully immerse in the world of Carnival, from the entrance, young visitors will be gifted a carnival mask. These masks will be distributed from 10:00 to 15:00, as long as the supply last. Face painting sessions for children are scheduled at the Oasis from 10:30 to 15:30, transforming them into dream characters.

About Pairi Daiza

Pairi Daiza – The Garden of Worlds. Where Beauty Awakens Love

Created in 1994 on the ruins of the Cistercian Abbey of Cambron, founded in 1148, Pairi Daiza is Belgium’s leading tourist destination. The Garden of Worlds welcomes nearly three million visitors each year.

Across an 80-hectare estate, Pairi Daiza invites visitors to discover the beauty of our planet through gardens inspired by the five continents, exceptional botanical collections, authentic architecture, mineral treasures and thousands of animals, including many threatened species.

Honoured with numerous international awards, Pairi Daiza offers a journey of wonder through the treasures of the living world and civilizations, brought together in a single Garden.

Because we protect only what we love, this sense of wonder continues through the work of the Pairi Daiza Foundation, which supports dozens of conservation, scientific research and threatened-species protection programmes around the world each year.

In ancient Persian, Pairi Daiza means “paradise”.
