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.

About Pairi Daiza

The Garden of the Five Wonders

In the heart of Europe, Belgium is home to a sanctuary unlike any other: Pairi Daiza, a place where humanity gathers around the pursuit and celebration of beauty. Spread across 80 hectares, this extraordinary garden allows visitors to journey across continents and civilizations in just one or a few days. 

Rare animals thrive here in harmony, centuries-old trees and fragile plants stand in dialogue with remarkable architectures from across the globe and the Earth’s mineral treasures. Within the ancient Abbey walls, precious stones from across the globe find their place, Brazilian amethysts, Chinese jade, native copper from Michigan, and intricate Pietra Dura mosaics, timeless reminders that beauty knows no borders and no end.

Repeatedly named “Best Zoo in Europe” and celebrated by leading international travel guides, Pairi Daiza has become Belgium’s top tourist destination. A visit goes far beyond the concept of a zoo. It is a living work of art, a transformative space where nature, culture, and humanity converge. Each year, millions of visitors step through its gates, leaving not only enchanted but also inspired, their hearts stirred with a renewed commitment to protect life in all its forms.
