BEHIND THE SCENES

The Jurques zoological park employs 14 people throughout the year, plus ten or so seasonal workers who work in reception, the shop, and the restaurant in the summer.

Between 100,000 and 120,000 people visit the zoo every year.

Jurques zoo is a private zoo-park. It receives neither financial aid nor subsidy. Its financing is solely ensured by entry fees and the services that are made available to visitors (sales in the shop, self service).

The zoo requires € 3000 every day (food and care for the animals, maintenance of the enclosures, electricity, water, gas etc.).
