BELGIUM: Christmas comes to Pairi Daiza, Friday 28th November 2025

Christmas is coming to Pairi Daiza!


Nestled in the grounds of a ruined Cisterian Abbey in Brugelette is an award winning zoo with a difference. Pairi Daiza stretches across 125,000 acres and is home to over 7000 animals. This incredible zoo protects more than 800 species in spacious habitats. Beautifully designed incorporating authentic buildings, diverse vegetation, semi-precious stones and some rare cultural wonders from the five continents. 

You will be hard pushed to get around the entire zoo in a day, so an annual ticket is always a great idea. If not, Pairi Daiza has its own resort with various accommodations in different areas of the zoo. Why not book a Full Moon Lodge with a view directly into the Bears and Wolves enclosure, or a Hobbit home in the Last Frontier, or even a room in the Penguin House with an underwater view of the penguins living their best life? With 8 different accommodation areas to choose from, you will be totally spoilt for choice!


Pairi Daizi doesn’t do anything by halves and Christmas time is no exception; the “Best Zoo in Europe” turns into a sparkling winter wonderland providing an unforgettable experience for everyone.
  • Over 70 breathtaking installations
  • 4 giant video mappings
  • Millions of LED lamps
  • Hundreds of lanterns
  • Gourmet & Seasonal Stalls under the Grand Dome
Christmas at Pairi Daiza is one event not to be missed this Festive Season.
