The Biopark is temporarily hosting Janus, a unique two-headed Greek tortoise, during the renovation of the Museum. Each head of this male tortoise has its own independent brain, which sometimes makes its movements challenging. In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.

8 July – 13 September

Jump into a cozy creative space where tiny hands make colorful shapes and soft sounds fill the air. Inspired by museum artworks, children and their adults will explore textures, colors, and gentle movements through play, stories, and simple crafts. Little ones will experiment with finger paints, fabrics, and instruments, discovering how art can feel and sound. This immersive, multisensory moment encourages curiosity, sensory play, and bonding between child and grown-up.

In French. Kids ages 0–4.

Create paper animal masks and puppets in a hands-on workshop that invites children to imagine a lively bestiary of birds, frogs, snakes and fantastical creatures. Using Neocolor II crayons and Caran d’Ache Fibralo water-soluble markers, participants explore color, texture and the transformations water can produce. Intense pigments, unexpected blends and tactile effects open a playful creative space. Kids will personalize their creatures with feathers, glitter and mixed materials and bring them together in a tiny, imaginative puppet theatre.

In French. Kids ages 4 and up.

7 – 28 July

Gather by the paddling pool to hear lively storytellers bring short tales to life. Listen to playful voices, rhythmic songs and splashy sounds as characters move through sunny scenes.

Readings encourage curiosity, new words and pretend play, with chances to move, laugh and imagine whole stories together under the open sky.

In French. Kids ages from 4 and up.

29 July – 12 August

Explore the pond to discover who lives beneath the surface. Search for dragonflies, frogs and newts, and learn about curious water creatures like backswimmers, hydrophilids and diving beetles.

Feel cool breezes, spot ripples and bright wings as David and Chloé guide curious kids through this lively, splashy ecosystem.

In French. Kids ages 4–10.

The show mixes gentle comedy, sensory discovery and imaginative storytelling so kids can listen for rustling leaves, notice small movements and let their curiosity become a lively adventure.

In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
