Just after Christmas we noticed that they were advertising a special exhibition in the centre of Fuengirola and that the children who attened would receive a special present from "The Three Kings". I took my two and they were given a year's free entrace to the zoo in Fuengirola which has been re-named the Bio park.
Today we were able to use those passes for the first time this year. As per usual parking was a nighmare and after half and hour I gave up and parked in the parking next door- a very expensive option and next time I will park further away or get a lift in.
Once in the park I was delighted with the efficiency and friendlyness of the park officials and the animals ( as far as one can tell) appeared to be very relaxed in thier surroundings. Last year they aquired aquired white tigers which are beautiful
.
We attended the tour through "The big Baobab tree" which takes place every half an hour and the main show where the animals walk right past you or fly directly over your head. The children loved it. It was very well organised and the information given in two languages.
There was a play area and two cafe/restaurants.
All in all a very enjoyable morning with the children and recomended. In July and August they have night time visits and the parc closes at midnight so we will be trying to do that this year as well.
