DISCOVER THE CIUTAT DE LES ARTS I LES CIÈNCIES. Science, nature and art in a complex devoted to scientific and cultural dissemination in Europe, placed in Valencia. The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia is a unique complex devoted to scientific and cultural dissemination which is made up of five main elements: the Hemisfèric (IMAX cinema and digital projections), the Umbracle (a landscaped vantage point and car park), the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum (an innovative centre of interactive science), the Oceanográfico (the largest aquarium in Europe with over 500 marine species) and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía (which takes care of the operatic programme). The Ágora gives the complex a multifunctional space.
It can be difficult to wrap your head around the City of the Arts and Sciences. The attraction is a staggering ensemble of ultra-modern structures that are given an ethereal quality by the reflecting pools that surround them. The whole thing was started in the mid-90s and the finishing touches were made in 2005. Within these gargantuan buildings are cultural venues and first-class family attractions like L’Hemisfèric, a planetarium and IMAX Cinema, or the breathtaking L’Umbracle, a botanical collection of plant species native to Valencia.

BIOPARC VALENCIA is a unique zoo. Its design employs the “zooimmersion” concept, in which visitors are surrounded by meticulous recreations of the natural habitats being presented. Social animals that live together in groups are displayed, as well as groups of different species that coexist in the same habitats. Predatory species are integrated into the visual space, but are separated from other species by barriers invisible to the eye of the visitor, ensuring the safety of both the animals and the people. The animals, vegetation and landscape provide opportunities for discovering the complexity of natural ecosystems.
Really nice zoo with animals in spacious,clean enclosures.Baby gorillas were a plus.Easy to get to on bikes through the Turia gardens.

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
