This year, from March 30 to April 1, there will not only be chocolates to be won, but also lots of other great prizes, including a session to participate in the VIP Healer experience for a day! During these three days of celebration, explorers young and old will have to be observant to find the little treasures (chocolate or not) hidden in the 20 hectares of the park, hidden from marmosets to Asian otters. A good way to discover places differently, while having fun (and enjoying yourself)!
