Discovering the park with the whole family
The Citadel park is a perfect destination for a day trip with the whole family: between discovering the biodiversity from here and elsewhere at the Zoo, the rides, play areas, or even events happening in the park, there is something for everyone!
Lille's Zoo
The Zoo welcomes you every day except Tuesdays to discover different kinds of biodiversity from all over the world. The six thematic zones in the park transport you around the world - this journey tells the story of how and why we protect these animal species, some of which are threatened of going extinct.
Cita-Parc
The amusement park Cita-Parc offers rides on the theme of nature and animals, as well as huts to get refreshments and sweet treats.
Treetop courses
Accro Lille offers 6 treetop courses for the whole family. Young or old, come look at the park from above. The courses are open from April to November and are available for children taller than 1m20 (around 5-6 years old) for the children's courses, and for people taller than 1m40 for the adult courses.
Playgrounds
Children can have fun in several municipal playgrounds: they are completely free and available to use 7 days out of 7.
You can find one at the entrance of Cita-Parc, as well as on the Plaine des Sports in the north of the park, and along the Deûle on the west side of the park.
Funfair
The park welcomes on the Champ de Mars a funfair with over 150 rides every year, in September and in the spring.
