The park route begins with displays of typical huts built by different ethnic tribes from around the island, intermingled with various caged animals, many of which are unique to Madagascar.

Relics on display in a museum include a skeleton of the Aepyornis, the now extinct elephant bird that once roamed the island. A small lake can be found at the centre of the park, which is a very nice and peaceful spot in the capital, which includes a small garden restaurant. The latter part of the route includes several families of lemurs.

Guides at the entrance will offer to accompany visitors on their walks while explaining the various exhibits, for which they expect a tip at the end.

A souvenir shop and a second restaurant is located at the entrance.
