The Jardin d'Acclimatation (French pronunciation:[ʒaʁdɛ̃daklimatasjɔ̃]) is a 19-hectare (47-acre) children's amusement park located in the northern part of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, alongside other attractions.[1]
From 1877 until 1912, the Jardin Zoologique d'Acclimatation was converted to l'Acclimatation Anthropologique. In mid-colonialism, the curiosity of Parisians was attracted to the customs and lifestyles of foreign peoples. Nubians, Bushmen, Zulus, and many other African peoples were "exhibited" in a human zoo. Indigenous peoples including Sámi people from Norway and Sweden and Inuit people from Greenland were also exhibited.[4] The exhibitions were a huge success. The number of visitors to the Jardin doubled, reaching the million mark.[5][6]
In 1931, around 100 other New CaledonianKanaks, were put on display at the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris, and then sold to another zoo.[7] From 1931 on, the last anthropological exhibition was closed down and since then the zoo - now the Jardin d'Acclimatation - has become a family-oriented leisure park, focusing on children's activities.[8] Among the attractions are many fair-like activities, including mini-rollercoasters, swing rides, and a collection of farm animals and birds.
A miniature road system for children operated by the Paris police was closed in 2008.
