The prehistoric park is at Tarascon and about 45 mins away form Maison Famille.
From Maison Famille you get onto the D117 and head through La Bastide de Serou and into Foix. In Foix you need to follow signs to Tarascon. (At the bottom of the square at the Island turn right) Keep following the signs to Tarascon and you will go through the part of Foix with all the super markets and big stores. You will get onto the N20 and continue to follow signs to Tarascon. When you get to the end of the N20 follow sins to Tarascon then you will also see the signs for the Prehistoric Park. It’s easy to see, well sign posted and there is plenty of parking.
Opening times vary through out the year.

There is a nice restaurant. We took a picnic and sat on the shaded tables were there is a children’s play area.
There is a man made cave with water fall that you can walk through and man made pools. The walk through the man made rocks is great for the kids, it has running water.
Around the park there are different activities going off at different times. You can go in the museum were you are supplied with a pack and headphones to wear. This is a talk in your language that comes on automatically as you walk through. My little boy loved this as he had his own head phones too.
If the weather is nice worth a visit, you can make it an all day event or you could do it in an afternoon.
