A journey through the world’s habitats at Bioparc Fuengirola

During your visit you will be able to explore different ecosystems. Unlike traditional zoos, Bioparc Fuengirola provides a complete immersion in areas that simulate rainforests, rivers and rocky areas enhancing the experience not only for the animals, but also for the visitors:

  • Indo-Pacific habitat: This ecosystem harbors a variety of aquatic and terrestrial species reflecting the diversity of the region.
  • Southeast Asia: It will offer you an insight into the endangered Asian fauna and you will be able to find animals such as the Sumatran tiger and exotic birds.
  • Equatorial Africa: This habitat will introduce you to the biodiversity of the African rainforest and the Nile River. This ecosystem is home to species such as gorillas or crocodiles.
  • Island of Madagascar: In addition to other species of this island, this space is dedicated to lemurs and the importance of their conservation.

Bioparc Fuengirola and its commitment to conservation

The main mission of this zoo is the conservation of endangered species and its participation in programs that contribute to the survival of endangered species. Recently, the gestation of a female Malayan tapir has been carried out, a significant act in the efforts to conserve this species.

Bioparc Fuengirola: an educational and entertainment environment

In addition to its commitment to conservation, Bioparc Fuengirola is also the right place if you want to live an educational and entertaining day, not only for the little ones, but for all ages. Everything is designed to raise awareness about biodiversity and the importance of protecting the environment.

You will be able to witness the natural behavior of different species in their bird and mammal exhibits. On the other hand, you also have the option of attending guided tours, where you will be accompanied by experts who can provide you with more details about the fauna and their respective habitats.

For children, Bioparc Fuengirola offers workshops and educational programs that promote environmental awareness from an early age, making it a favorite place for school trips.

Plan your visit to Bioparc Fuengirola

Organizing your visit is key to making the most of your day at this zoo and taking advantage of all it has to offer. Here we give you more information and some tips.

Schedules:

The first thing to keep in mind is the opening hours; although it is open every day of the year from 10:00 am including holidays, closing times may vary depending on the season. We recommend you visit their website for more information on this aspect.

Tickets:

Tickets can be purchased both online and at the ticket office. However, it is more common to buy them online to save you time and avoid possible crowds of visitors to purchase them at the box office. In addition, they are more likely to offer exclusive discounts. The type of ticket and prices may vary according to age (for example, children under three years old have free admission) and the number of people.

In addition to this, you can also access special discounts at the box office for large families, if you have a youth card or if you are registered in Fuengirola, but do not forget to present the documentation to prove it!

Tips:

Depending on the season, the influx of visitors is usually higher or lower, so to ensure your ticket we recommend buying them in advance, especially during the vacation season or on vacations.

Check the weather forecast. Although this zoological park also has some covered areas, you will be able to take full advantage of it if the weather is nice.

Arrive early and check the schedules of special activities so you don’t miss anything, such as talks or conservation days.

Bioparc Fuengirola is located in the city center, so it is easy to access both by public transport (the train station is just a few minutes walk away and there are also bus stops nearby) and by car, as Bioparc has agreements with some nearby parking lots where visitors can get discounts on parking fees, such as Parking Alfil.
