Did you know?

Bioparc Valencia’s amazing architecture and innovative design, earned it prestigious design awards such as the Europa Nostra Award in 2009.

Bioparc Valencia is strongly committed to conservation, recycling over 95% of its water and generating energy through solar panels. Many species in the zoo are part of European conservation breeding programs.

Owned by the City Council of Valencia and managed by Rainforest, Bioparc Valencia opened its doors in 2008, with most animals relocated from the old city's zoo, which closed the same year.

Bioparc Valencia offers engaging educational programs like Zoo School, where students learn about animals, conservation, and biodiversity in interactive ways. It is Bioparc Valencia’s mission to educate and raise awareness about environmental care and respect.

On May 10, 2012, primatologist Jane Goodall visited Bioparc Valencia, where she observed elephants bathing in the lake, chimpanzees exhibiting familial behaviors, and more. Impressed by the park's immersive experience, she awarded it the "highest rating" during a press conference. Subsequently, she delivered a conference titled "Reasons for Hope" in the park's amphitheater.

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.

I visited the Oceanogràfic during a trip to Valencia, and I have to say it truly lives up to its reputation. The complex is huge and stunning just from an architectural standpoint, but its real strength lies in how well-organized the exhibits are, cleanly split into different climate zones. By far the most impressive part is the long glass tunnel in the Oceans section—walking underneath while sharks and stingrays swim right over your head feels incredible. The Arctic pavilion with the beluga whales is also spectacular, especially since they’re amazing animals and really hard to see anywhere else in Europe. You’ll need at least a good four to five hours to enjoy it properly, so it’s best to buy your tickets online in advance to skip the line and get there early in the morning to beat the crowds. If you want to catch the dolphin show, which is included in the ticket, make sure to find a seat at least half an hour early because the bleachers fill up fast. The only downside is the food inside: the dining spots are quite expensive and offer typical theme park quality, so bringing your own lunch is a great way to save a bit. All in all, the entry ticket isn’t cheap, but considering the scale and quality of the aquariums, it’s completely worth it and an experience I’d definitely do again.

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 👍
