Agadir
Free city-centre bird park between the Corniche and Souk El Had
Vallée des Oiseaux is a small, free-entry zoological garden running through central Agadir between Boulevard Mohamed V and Boulevard du 20 Août. Exotic birds — flamingos, cockatoos, parakeets, crowned cranes — share the park with deer, wild goats, llamas and a free-roaming peacock.
What to expect
- A linear walk between Boulevards Mohamed V and 20 Août. Aviaries hold flamingos, parakeets, cockatoos and crowned cranes; pens house deer, llamas and wild goats; a peacock typically roams free along the paths.
Best time
- Mornings and late afternoons are most comfortable in summer. Weekends are busiest with local families. Confirm hours locally — opening times shift during ongoing renovations.
How to combine
- It sits halfway between Agadir Marina / the Corniche and Souk El Had — a natural waypoint when you are walking from the seafront inland to the market.
Price range
- Free: the Vallée des Oiseaux is a municipal garden strung along a dry riverbed through the middle of Agadir, with gates on Boulevard Mohammed V and near the beach. There is no ticket office and the city publishes no tariff.
- Carry a little change anyway. Most guides record no charge, but at least one reports a token 10 to 20 Dh at the gate, so a staffed booth on the day would not be a scam. The public toilets inside are paid, as they are everywhere in Morocco.
- It keeps daylight hours — reported variously as 9:00 to 18:00 and as a morning and afternoon session with a midday break — and it has been closed for rehabilitation work in recent years. Check it is open before crossing town for it.

Thirty to sixty minutes is enough to walk the full length end to end. It works well as a shaded break between the Corniche and a walk inland to Souk El Had.
Yes. The park is flat, shaded and stroller-friendly, with benches, fountains and a small train (Noddy train) that loops to nearby parts of town from one of the exits.
