Wildlife park: €29 adult (online). PassHan cave + park: €41.50. 'Noël Givré' activities included.

About the event

On the wooded heights above Han-sur-Lesse, the wildlife park showcases European fauna, including species long gone from the region: brown bears, wolves, lynx, European bison, Przewalski's horses and wolverines. After its seasonal closure in November, the Domain reopens from 19 December to 3 January, except 25 December and 1 January. In winter the visit is by safari bus, with departures from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm. From 26 to 30 December, 'Noël Givré' adds two decorated stops with elves and short shows, included in the ticket (in French and Dutch). Tip: book a time slot online, dress warmly and combine it with the nearby cave, which stays at 11 °C all year.
