The Bois du Petit-Château site in La Chaux-de-Fonds is undergoing a revolution, with a new name for the marriage of the Museum of Natural History and the Zoo.
Bringing together the Zoo and the Museum means that the educational, recreational, scientific and tourist potential of these two institutions can be fully exploited.
The Zoo continues to be free of charge, presenting mammals and birds from the regional, European and domestic faunas (bears, lynx, otters, deer...).

Access to the vivarium, which presents species of fauna from five continents (reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates), is via the Museum entrance with a combined ticket.

The Museum opened at the end of 2022 in a renovated building and will present a reference exhibition on the theme of the biodiversity crisis. There's also a cafeteria and a magnificent terrace, as well as an open-access store.
