5 Zoos & Aquariums in Costa Blanca That You Shouldn't Miss
Costa Blanca is the name given to Alicante's coastline in Spain, which stretches over 200 kilometers. It is an incredibly popular holiday destination for tourists, because of the marvelous weather and beaches. Costa Blanca is family friendly, thanks to the huge range of activities available there from beaches and golf to museums and parks. There are the beaches, such as Los Náufragos in Torrevieja with its volleyball nets, golden sands and Blue Flag status, or smaller beaches like Serragrosa with its crystal waters, ideal for swimmers. But there are also golf courses (particularly the Villaitana club de golf near Benidorm) and watersports facilities and cultural sites like museums and galleries, such as the La Asegurada Municipal Museum in Alicante which has extensive collections of Spanish art. You will need a couple of weeks on the Costa Blanca just to scratch the surface of its entertainment potential.

What a superb zoo!! Due to being out of season it was lovely to walk around with hardly any other guests and temperatures that were really comfortable to hike about it. The zoo is well sign posted and has arrows on the ground to keep you right. We visits zoo‘a and Safari parks often and this one definitely has some of the best sized enclosures we have seen. The animals look well cared for and healthy. The only bit we thought looked a bit on the small size was the lion enclosure. Prices were reasonable at €20 (out of season prices, €33 peak season). Reasonable for ice creams and juices given your captive audience (approx 3€). Huge selection of animals to discover... our favourite was the talking Macaw Parrot that was sitting close by the start of the park... the parrots are free to fly about which is lovely to see. The park has mobility scooters and buggies to rent at reasonable prices (7€ for a buggie). Would imagine these go quick in peak season and there was an abundance of them so get there quick. Overall a fantastic day out!!!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We spent around 90 minutes here looking around at the sea creatures, watching the informative video and reading the information pieces. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and for €3 for adults and €1.50 for kids, it is absolutely brilliant value and a nice break from the hot sun for a while! The conservation work they do here is amazing as well and the staff are really friendly - well recommended!

A very interesting day out, fun filled with exciting animals at every turn. We took our 8 year old Grandson for a day out while on holiday in Salinas and this is what he chose. He loved it! So many different animal species to see, all very well looked after and healthy looking. Plenty of fascinating information on each enclosure in several languages for those who don't speak Spanish. Lots of stops throughout the Safari park for a bite to eat, a cool drink or just a little rest (as a disabled lady with walking sticks this was perfect for me) We spent most of the day at the park and our Grandson wasn't bored or fed up once! The sea lion performance was a favourite as was the giraffe which we were able to feed. Very reasonable entry fee with a train ride around the park thrown in with the price. Thoroughly enjoyed our day out. X
