Should adults also participate in animations ? Do I have to participate in workshops ?
The prehistoric activities that we offer are as much for adults as for children.
The concept of the park is to share family entertainment.
However, no one is obliged to carry out the activities.
Relaxation areas are located near the entertainment venues.
Only wearers of the 1-day Pass bracelet have access to the park. Children are the responsibility of the parents and must be accompanied by at least one adult.

What outfit to wear for the workshops?
At "Grottes du Cerdon", you are "on the ground" as close as possible to nature.
Dress accordingly in clothing suitable for outdoor activities which can be more or less dirty, depending on your abilities.
Remember that you are leaving your era!

Is it possible to conduct the prehistoric workshops?
Most of the prehistoric workshops are distant from 3 to 5 minutes walking.
There is many paths through the park. The schedules take into account movements between 2 nearby activities. The 2 workshops furthest from each other are “pottery” and “fire” but you will not take more than 5 minutes by walking slowly with a young child.
