Why visit Bioparc Valencia?

Experience authentic African wildlife

Bioparc Valencia is known for its commitment to recreating natural African habitats. Encounter over 4,000 animals, from giraffes and crocodiles to lemurs and jackals, all living in carefully recreated landscapes of Savannah, Madagascar, and Equatorial Africa zones, to enable the animals to live in their natural environment. 

Family-friendly amenities

Enjoy a day of exploration with the whole family, taking breaks at the on-site restaurants such as the Baobab Paleao Trees Restaurant and the Pangea Cafe. Children can enjoy the Ndoki playground. Convenient facilities like baby changing stations, children’s playgrounds and microwaves to heat up food, are designed to create a comfortable experience for visitors of all ages.

Educational presentations

Attend the engaging Cycle of Life presentations, where you can learn about the behaviors and interactions of various species. From ospreys hunting for fish to the symbiotic relationship between jackals and vultures, these presentations offer insights into African wildlife and conservation of all animal species.

Enjoy animals in natural environments

At Bioparc, animals enjoy spacious environments that mimic their natural habitats. It's a unique experience to witness giraffes galloping freely, a rare sight in inner-city zoos. One of the most remarkable features is the Kitum Cave system, replicating natural cave environments. Bioparc's dedication to recreating the beauty of the natural world is evident throughout, making it a perfect destination for wildlife enthusiasts.

Immersive Zoo Experience

Unlike conventional zoos, Bioparc Valencia practices Zooimmersion. Zooimmersion is where you can view animals in their natural habitats. There are no glass barriers or railings separating the animals and the visitors but instead there are natural formations such as rocks and rivers. Developed in 1975 by David Hancocks at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, this approach creates a better experience for both visitors and animals.

An unforgettable experience! The aquarium is located in the City of Arts and Sciences, with massive structures, truly fascinating. Great to visit as a couple or with a daughter, as in our case. We saw a beluga for the first time, very cute 🤭 the shark tunnel is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Bioparc is incredible because it's so well done, the landscapes look authentic, and it felt like being inside The Lion King 😊 We visited in mid-October, the weather was nice and mild. I think the Bioparc might be better in the summer because the temperature is closer to that of Africa, so perhaps the animals would be more active.

Two fantastic experiences in Valencia! We absolutely loved Oceanogràfic and Bioparc: gorgeous, spotless, attentive to detail, and above all, very well organized. The visit is pleasant and engaging from start to finish. The indoor shows were the real highlight: superlative, exciting, and truly well produced! Highly recommended, especially if you want to spend a different kind of day and take home a wonderful memory of Valencia. Both deserve 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You might want to wait until after noon to get on, since the buses are pretty crowded in the morning. Once you’ve snagged your favorite seat, it’s pure bliss. Our highlight was the City of Arts. Absolutely impressive 👍

The Bioparc in Valencia is extremely beautiful and really well designed. The animals also look really well cared for. Even on a very rainy day, there were plenty of places to take shelter and explore.
