Full Description
Bioparc Valencia: a zoo that feels like Africa
Bioparc Valencia opened in 2008 at the western end of the Turia Gardens and follows an immersion concept. Instead of cages, hidden moats, rock walls and dense planting separate you from the animals, so each area looks like a stretch of real African landscape. Many travellers ask whether Bioparc Valencia is worth visiting, and for families, photographers and anyone who prefers a natural-feeling zoo the answer is usually yes.
Your Bioparc Valencia tickets are valid for one day, and you pick an entry time slot when booking. Allow three to four hours for a relaxed visit, and longer if you want to join the talks and the feeding trail.
The savannah and wetlands: lions, giraffes and hippos
The savannah is the open heart of the park. Antelope, giraffes and rhinos graze across a wide plain while lions watch from the highest rocks, and the layout lets several species share one view, much as they would in the wild. Underground burrows show aardvarks, hyenas and warthogs, plus a colony of naked mole rats that children tend to remember.
Continue to the wetlands to meet hippos and crocodiles at close quarters, with shoals of colourful fish moving through the water. This is where animals are easiest to photograph, so keep your camera ready, but remember that flash is not permitted.
Equatorial rainforest, Kitum Cave and the island of Madagascar
Beyond the savannah the paths enter dense equatorial forest where gorillas, red buffalo and leopards live. An elephant trail leads to Kitum Cave, a large recreation of the famous cave on Mount Elgon in Kenya, where elephants have long dug for mineral salts. It is one of the most memorable corners of the park.
The route finishes on the island of Madagascar, where ring-tailed lemurs move through a walk-through area close to the visitor path. Stay calm, keep your distance and follow the staff signs, as feeding the animals is not allowed.
Planning your visit: opening hours, getting there and the Turia Gardens
Bioparc Valencia opening hours change by season, so check the hours for your travel date before you go. The best time to visit Bioparc Valencia in summer is early morning or late afternoon, when the animals are more active and the heat is milder, while spring and autumn are comfortable all day.
To get to Bioparc Valencia, take the metro or a city bus towards the Cabecera Park area, or cycle or walk along the Turia Gardens; the main entrance is on Avenida Pío Baroja. After your visit, a stroll through the park and gardens next door makes a pleasant finish.
