Cocodrilo Park Zoo Entry Ticket Gran Canaria

Cocodrilo Park zoo in Aguimes

Cocodrilo Park is one of the best-loved family attractions in the south-east of Gran Canaria. The zoo sits near the historic town of Aguimes and spreads over roughly 22,000 square metres of shaded paths, pools and enclosures, so you can wander at a relaxed pace and see the animals close up.

If you are looking for Cocodrilo Park tickets, this entry ticket keeps things simple: you book online, choose the day that suits you within the next 365 days and go straight in. Because the ticket has a long validity, it is a flexible option for families who want to plan around the weather or the children's nap times.

Crocodiles, alligators and reptiles

The park's name comes from its main attraction: a huge collection of crocodilians, including the largest alligator exhibit in Europe. You can watch these powerful reptiles from safe walkways as they rest on the banks, swim slowly through the water or wait with only their eyes above the surface.

Around them you find turtles, lizards, snakes and other reptiles, each with information boards explaining where they live and how they hunt. For many visitors this is the most exciting part of the day, and the close view from the walkways makes for excellent photos, particularly during the warmer hours when the reptiles are more active.

Meerkats, monkeys, tigers and animal encounters

Beyond the reptiles, the zoo keeps meerkats, raccoons, deer, llamas, pygmy goats, pigs, tropical birds and monkeys, including chimpanzees, as well as tigers. Children love the meerkats standing guard on their mounds and the playful antics of the monkeys.

The park also offers small encounters with animals such as little foxes and snakes, which add a hands-on element to the visit. A snack point in the park serves hot dogs and smoothies, although food and drinks are not included in your ticket, so bring cash or a card for anything you want to buy.
