Unique features of Bioparc Fuengirola

The park is deeply committed to conservation and participates in over 40 breeding programs for endangered species, making your visit both enjoyable and meaningful.

Tips

  • Plan your visit for weekday mornings to avoid crowds—Mondays are especially quiet if you want to feel like you have the place to yourself. Pre-book tickets online to snag discounts or combos that include meals, and don’t forget to download the park map in advance; it’s not huge, but there are secret paths, like the one leading to the shy Komodo dragon.
  • Arrive early to catch the lemurs at their liveliest in the Madagascar zone or during their feeding session—getting there 15 minutes ahead means you’ll score the best viewing spots. For families, pack light! The park is stroller-friendly, but the walking trails can be uneven, so comfy shoes are a must. Kids will love the underwater viewing area—it’s a hidden gem many visitors miss.
  • Bring a reusable water bottle to refill at fountains scattered around the park, but leave bright-colored outfits at home. Neutral tones blend into the environment better, making you less noticeable to skittish animals. Need lunch? The in-house café serves surprisingly good Andalusian dishes—try the gazpacho if it’s hot out! And if you’re after a quiet break, head to the shaded benches near the Asian jungle—it’s a peaceful spot away from the main trails.
  • Pro tip: If you're staying in Fuengirola, take the train and avoid the headache of finding parking—station’s just a five-minute stroll away!
