Park Description
The park as such is not very extensive but is very well distributed and utilized. We found a dozen areas with different designs and decoration according to the animals and from which geographical area they come from. Each area has an educational talk about the species that can be visited, the talks are in Spanish and English, check the schedule of each visit at the information point at the entrance.
We highlight the following two areas:
Ice Island: The only ice penguinarium in all of Andalusia. A facility rebuilding the natural habitat of the penguin, on this cold tour we can visit the following species: Magallanes penguins, Juanito, Rey and Macaroni.
The Antilles: The only dolphinarium in the whole of Andalusia. It has four swimming pools adapted and complying with the regulations for the well-being of dolphins. They perform educational and entertaining shows with these wonderful mammals alongside sea lions.
The grounds are filled with exotic animals, birds, fish, reptiles, etc. There are areas where you can enter and animals are freely around you. A unique and curious experience, especially for the little ones.
In the most prominent areas, you can pre-book a photo with the animals such as a dolphin or sea lion, or you can meet the penguins from nearby.
