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.

It is allowed—and even encouraged—to visit Pairi Daiza in a fancy dress carnival costume.
