Slide 1 of 22
"In the middle of it all, still enjoyable." I usually don't like zoos (for obvious reasons) but this one had a charm and a caring beyond the rest. Totally recommend. Good price (both entrance and indoor snack/drinks), amazing "shows" and nice staff. If you are in Fuengirola and like/love/adore animals. Do go here 🦁
Eggbert Explores (Engva) — Google review
An absolutely beautiful zoo, well worth the visit. Plenty of animals in beautiful, spacious surroundings. The zoo isn't large, but you can easily spend 2 - 3 hours in here. Plenty variation of animals (birds, gorillas, tigers, monkeys, hippos etc.) in lovely surroundings. Good facilities and you can bring your own food and drinks into the zoo. It never felt too busy and we really like the animal enclosures. It just felt really peaceful. There also was plenty of shade in the zoo, necessary when it gets very warm. Parking is available in the parking garages next and opposite the zoo and you get a 50% discount when you validate your ticket on exit of the zoo. We paid 3 euros for a 3 hour visit. Book online and check Groupon Spain as they sometimes have discounts. Definitely worth a visit!
Herjan Velding — Google review
The best zoo I've ever been to! The animals have plenty of space and hiding spots, but they're easy to spot. Even walking around the zoo is a big part of the experience, such beautiful plants and decorations. We were lucky to find coupons so the entries were only 15€ pr. person, super cheap.

Second visit here and it just gets better! Amazing amount of animals, can see them close up without wire fences in the way! Cafe has nice food/coffee. They are extending it so will be back to visit when that is complete.

First time here was 2008. Now the 2nd time here with kids. They loved it and so did I. I even saved around 20€ with a promo poster I found on the door of a nearby store. I just had to take a photo of it and show it at the cashier's. I think the place is well designed for the amount and comfort of the animals. The grounds and details were spot-on. Some seemed a bit stressed but it's understandable.
Tommi West?n — Google review
Bioparc Fuengirola is a must-visit destination for animal enthusiasts and families alike. While the entry fee may be a bit higher these days, the experience is worth it. The park offers a wide variety of animals, and I was pleased to see that all of them were out and visible during my visit. The naturalistic habitats provide a fantastic setting for observing the animals, and the views are simply stunning. It's a great opportunity for both kids and adults to learn about wildlife and conservation. For families with children, this place is a winner. The kids will be thrilled to see so many animals up close and will surely have a memorable and educational experience. In conclusion, despite the slightly higher cost, Bioparc Fuengirola delivers an enjoyable and enriching outing. I recommend visiting this park for a fun-filled day with a lot of animals and beautiful views.
Joel Tjurin — Google review
Very nice! A bit expensive for a zoo but you can find discount vouchers here from leaflets and stores so you don’t have to pay full price. 25€/ adult or 18€ / pensioner or child. Animals were mostly sleeping in the shadows but its understandable because of the heat. Nice experience and very well taken care of park. I would definetly recommend visiting if you are going to Fuengirola.
Daniel Turkia — Google review
Really good afternoon out did cost a bit much to go in about 85 Euros for a family of 4 but lots of animals inside. We saw crocodiles, hippos, flamingos,tigers,gorillas and lots more. They show was great kids loved the birds flying over their heads. Great park but the gorillas were their fave the baby interacting by the viewing window made their day
Claire Parry — Google review
Such a beautiful little zoo. Pretty, lush surroundings with large, well thought out areas for the animals. A very peaceful place tastefully and thoughtfully designed. Many different species of birds, fish, animals, plus a cafe and gift shop. Easy to walk round and wheelchair/ disabled friendly. Highly recommend. Ticket prices often discounted. Check their website.
Lorna Wilson — Google review
Nice food. With child menu there is additional giraffe mask. Toilets are clean. There could be more animals, but anyway a lot to see. Visited show with birds and small animals. Spent 4 hours.
Inna Gertruda — Google review
This zoo is really something different in the middle of houses, buildings, the town and the road running past. You wouldn't expect it to be where it was and it was incredible inside. The enclosures and environment for the animals were clean, fresh and felt like home for the animals. They had a variety of animals and some I've never seen before in my past zoo visits elsewhere. I've attached a map to show you the idea of the type of animals you'd see. The Tigers and leopard were my favourite but also enjoyed the baby orangutan! Wheelchair accessible and pushchair accessible. Toilets. 2 cafes. Play area. Gift shop. Can either buy tickets online, information points or on the door. There is also a hop on hop off bus/train available
Annie Charles — Google review
This zoo is first class. The animals look fit and well in their fantastic enclosures. Clearly there has been a great amount of thought into making the zoo good for animals and customers alike. There is plenty of shade and set on numerous paths to enjoy the experience. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Thank you for a great time..
David Freeman — Google review
A great zoo experience with interesting animals. The zoo was tidy and there was no limit on how long you could spend there so you wouldn’t feel as if you were being rushed. They had lemurs and birds able to roam free and come up to you which was really cool definitely would recommend a visit
alex — Google review
I am not a fan of animals in captivity, however, this was an excellent experience with magnificent buildings and well maintained public and animal enclosures. The entire concept was brilliant. Lovely cafeteria with plenty of seating, and what appeared to be a restaurant. I, along with my daughter and another family member spent four hours there. Easy underground parking within metres. The discount coupon made the parking pleasantly cheap. I highly recommend this place, and it is a wonderful day out. I would go again at a moments notice.
Paul Deamer / Author and Writer — Google review
I’ve visited loads of zoos across the UK, this was up there with one of the best I’ve visited. It is a small zoo, having a good look at all the animals we spent 3 hours and saw everything (except the shy leopard) The enclosures are very well designed, several species share the same space to make for a very natural experience. Don’t miss the shows they are fantastic, much better than the ones in the uk. Only thing I would say is that for the experience it is quite expensive.
romandy — Google review
This was the most impressive kind of zoo I’ve ever visited. The animals don’t look caged and looks like well treated. We saw many workers going around and taking care of things. Nice description next to each animal place. Really enjoyed it! You can easily spend there 1,5-2 hours without feeling it!
Vaiva Si — Google review
Fabulous place. Even my 6-months baby was impressed by beautiful variety of animals. Great place to have some rest and admire animals in perfectly prepared environment. I bought extra black friday tickets (half price). Bioparc team - you do it great!
Magda Ciborowska — Google review
So pleased we came across this gem. Was so much better than expected, we could have spent hours however turned up an hour and a half before closing. Just managed to get around, although missed a few animals due to them going to rest. Every enclosure is unique and lends it's self to the animals habitat, the enclosures house more than one animal making it more natural. Just beautiful, I hate visiting somewhere that puts money making before the animals. This place is definitely putting the animals first 10/10. Would come to Spain so see this again.

I had the pleasure of visiting this small zoo park, and it turned out to be a delightful and cozy experience. Despite its modest size, the park has a unique charm. One of the standout features is how various animals coexist harmoniously, creating a wonderful sense of synergy among them. Participating in the Lemur feeding session was an absolute highlight. Getting up close to these charismatic creatures and sharing a moment with them was truly special. Additionally, the bird performance was captivating, showcasing the intelligence and talents of these feathered residents. The inclusion of a restaurant and a kids' playground inside the park is a thoughtful touch, ensuring that visitors of all ages can have an enjoyable time. It's a great place to spend a day, appreciating both the natural beauty of the animals and the convenience of on-site amenities. If you're seeking a cozy and entertaining outing, this zoo park is certainly worth a visit.
Laimonas Guiga — Google review
It was a beautifully presented zoo. Very clean and every enclosure had shade, trees and water, some with waterfalls, the sound would help to reduce the noise of the visitors for the animals. A small area where you could walk thru the Lemur enclosure. My only concern was the tigers and apes didn't have a larger area to run around in.
Trudy Boccaccio — Google review
Amazing place , yes it isn't massive ,but the variety of Rare animals will leave you speechless. I have always dreamed of seeing Arapaimas , or Cassowaries and guess what , they have them out there ! On top of that Gorillas , Orangutans , Chimps , Tigers and a real Komodo Dragon. Lemurs watching at 11am daily , is a must see , as they are so funny and charming. The kids were very happy, and amazed. It's a really lovely charming place , The coffee in the restaurant tastes great , and the toilet's facilities are clean and modern. Also the location of this garden in the centre of Fuengirola,makes it easy to access , it's open from 10am and you will need about a half a day to view it all and you still manage to hit your dinner in the hotel at 3pm :). Great Day out.

100% worth going! This is a free attraction in an amazing setting. Climb the hill (there is a road for handicap accesss). See a beautiful castle/fort with a view over the city and the sea. Parking at the bottom of the hill right off the highway is only 1 EURO per day! and the place is a short walk into the city as well as directly down to the beach!
Benjamin L — Google review
A decent hike. Not much to see there on normal days, but it offers a lovely view. I believe they hold events there, so it's probably worth checking what gets featured here when you're near. Some nice history, and it offers a nice park to walk your dog.
H?kon Mjelde — Google review
Went there for a run along the seaside and ended up running up for the view. Charming building, in opposition with all the new and “ugly” construction from the balnear touristic sea site … Nice view form top. Possible to walk around the castle. Too many works to be able to take also a walk in the park in front with the ruins. Could not visit as it was closed.

Free entrance makes this place a must see. Nice view overt the sea and easy to enter by walk, bike or car. Just not much to see, except old castle walls and ruins. Lots of restaurants nearby and a free parking.

To the Spanish lady walking up the side of sohail in front of me. I finally met her walking around the side of the castle , what a lovely woman she was, we talked in English and Spanish all the way down to her car. If you see this from this morning the 15th ( my late mother's birthday) it was a great honour to meet you , best wishes hope we meet again on our morning walking.

Very beautiful ancient fort. Open to the public, free entrance & a beautiful view. The hill where it’s situated is makes a nice walk up to the fort & is filled with flowers in the spring. In the park there’s ongoing archaeological excavations of a Roman fisherman’s huts. The beach close to the Castillo Sohail is also very nice 👌🏼

A great mall in Fuengirola. Has around 140 stores including Adidas, C&A, H&M, Mango, Pull and Bear, Primark, Rituals and MI store. There are around a dozen restaurants and several cafés. There is also a 12 screen cinema on the 2nd floor. Parking is never a problem with 2700 spaces. The centre is open Monday to Saturday but closed Sundays apart from the Cinema and restaurants.

Love this shopping centre. It's just in Fuengarola and is not too big but full of great shops and dining options. The Spanish are so much more civilised when it comes to dining and shopping experiences. Even some old British favourites (Benetton & C& A) along with all the Spanish brands.

Nice shopping centre, with plenty of shops to choose from. I really like the amount of bathrooms available, they can be found on every floor. A huge amount of parking downstairs and outside. It's clean with a good layout. I was pleasantly surprised to see English books in Carrefour. The location is brilliant, right off the motorway. There is a playground and a lake nearby plus a skatepark too. If you have young children don't forget to check out the top floor where you'll find a play area and go karting
Mrs Bailey — Google review
I have not yet made it through the entire shopping mall, not that the mall is that big, it is because some shops have extremely slow service. For example the fitting rooms in some shops, they do not use all the rooms, which makes long ques for trying on outfits. The payment area also has a que, not sure why it takes such long time for taking people's money. Same with the food area long wait for service. The mall it self is nice and clean with a good variety of shops.
Tally Paulsen — Google review
Plenty of shops ,and a nice atmosphere. Variety of branded shops with sale , or you could top up your fridge at Big supermarket at the bottom of the centre. Remember that taxis are only at one end of the centre,so pick your doors wisely. And I need to mention a Go-cart track at the top of the centre, It's a must see/go.

Plenty easy parking. Easy access from car park, lifts, moving walkways with good grab is you have a push chair. God clean toilets on all floors. Large variety of shops and various prices.

If you are in fuengirola take a walk towards mijas end to visit the castle and the bridge. It is not worth walking further as you will be alongside the very busy main road. Most of it is for pedestrians, cyclists etc..

Lovely amusement park , it's off season now so it's open from 5pm. There are a lot of activities for kids , and if you plan to visit it multiple times during your stay ,it's a good idea to buy more credits , so for example spend 30€ on the card and you will get a lot of free € credits. So it's better than spending 10€ every day. Thank me later. Toilets present there and food facilities too. Overall a great place , and will make your kids happy. All machines take visa cards or Their card with € top up , and displays remaining balance. It's a bit small but perfect for a quick 30-60min play.

It was a very enjoyable experience for my three year old daughter. We stayed in this city for a week and he went to this park every day and he had a good time. I don't think it can be very entertaining for children over the age of seven and maybe just have one or two games suitable for them. But I think it is a good place for younger children and it is worth trying once.
Lily Ghalamsiah — Google review
Great for young kids. Our 3 & 6 year olds had a great time. Pricing is about what you'd expect, it is good that you get extra based on how much you spend (works by rides/games costing less if you top up more). Having read some reviews prior to going, we did notice some staff were a bit grumpy but found it quite amusing, they all did their jobs, and some were really friendly and helpful.

Great day out for little ones, our 5 year old was in heaven, little to do for any older than his age. Staff were wonderful, very attentive and one guy, especially on the trampolines, was outstanding, so friendly and helpful. We used a sould park charge card which we purchased for 1€ and then topped up, most rides were 3.50€ the most expensive ones being 5€ but the ride time was very long so worth the money! Defiently worth a visit!

Took my girlfriend's son here ... This is the second time we have been.. it's a small secure and safe fun fair for young kids to have a laugh in .. very well arranged and not too pricey either.. all in all very good experience..

Went here with twin 4-year olds and they had a great time. The facility was very clean and there were lots of staff members to supervise and help with the rides. This is perfect for younger kids (below 8-9 years old). You buy a card with €1 deposit and add values on the card. If you buy €10 you get €12 loaded up. Unfortunately all the rides are expensive starting from €3.50 for 2-3 minute ride. We spent €14 for 2 rides per child for approximately 30 minute of amusement so it is pricey.

Super fun place for kids. My daughter is 5 1/2 and went on all the rides. She loved this park. I can say for kids 3 to 7 years old. A few rides for 2 years old.

Very nice place for very young kids, circa 3-6 years. A couple of things for 2 year olds. They time each amusement like the play area for smallies and bouncy castle -you get 8/10 mins approx per payment. I paid 30 to top up a card and got 30 more free. You can also top up by 20 and get 10 free. The rides are hugely over priced at €3.50 per person per ride including accompanying adults. I had spent €60 within an hour and my kids are 2 and 4. Definitely wouldn't bother returning unless I was very local and staying in the area. It's a huge cost compared to the value of other activities in the area. Also you pay €1 for the card for top up initially also. And there are games inside that are €1 per use in the arcade and ticket based, I spent €6 to win 2 tiny lollipops for the kids!

We went few days ago, on a rainy day, therefore most attractions were closed. Each attraction that was still open cost 3.5 eur, gaming machines around 1 eur each. 4D cinema was open too. I asked the woman working there if my 3 year old son could be accomponied by the grandad as he was afraid to go alone, and if the also needs to pay another ticket, she said no, all good, as he is so small adult can go together. Man who let them in also said they can go together. I needed to top up my card as we only had 3 eur left, then another woman with accent (russian?) came over and said I need to pay 10 eur total for both of them, to which I replied 2 people before said grandad is fine to go without paying. She was pretty rude and kept saying they must terminate the session, that I must pay now extra etc. For an empty park and 3 year child who afraid to go alone, being that rude with customers - not a great business, lady....

This small park is great for small children but I think much older than 10 years will find less to enjoy. It’s the standard pay X for Y tokens so can get quite expensive pretty quickly. Still the kids have a great time, the rides are all pretty neat and the staff are really friendly and super helpful. Overall, worth going if you have small children and would like to entertain them for a couple of hours.

Fun rides for kids. You fill a card with money to use on the rides, you get bonus money for every amount you fill. We filled 30 euros and got 30 extra. Each ride is quite expensive though. 3.50 euro min for each ride which only lasts 2 mins. Although fun place to spend an hour or two with kids

We've been a couple of times, last night for Oklahoma. What a gem of a place this is. The talent of the cast and crew is fantastic, the singing is excellent and the whole atmosphere of the place is just lovely. I'm not a fan of musicals, but now I'm being turned into one by this place. Bravo Salon Varietes 👏

We saw All in the family. Quite entertaining. Been to a few some not as good as others. They have a bar & you can order a drink for intermission, it will be waiting for you. Drinks seating is mostly outside but you can get lucky if it's cold & rainy but it's mostly under cover.

We have been often to Salon Varietes and most performances are good to very good. The performance "magic of the musicals" was however sub-standard. A big group of mostly young people performing parts from different musicals. However most of them could not sing, were singing out of tune and there was also a problem with the sound (for which the kids are not to blame, but the sound technician is). This show was more at the level of an end of year school performance, but not for in a theatre. You cannot let people pay EUR 18 for this low quality performance. Salon Varietes should have checked out the quality of the performance of this group before putting them on stage! We left during the break and we noticed that there were also people leaving already before the break. If you have one of your kids performing it is probably a nice show to see, but if you dont than this is not a show to be seen in a theatre. Im sorry Salon Varietes but this was a big miss in normally performances of high quality.

Our kids 14, 13 & 11 loved this, much better than aquamijas (dont waste your moolah there)! We only did it once for 1hr during our visit but we'll be back next year! I have raised tadpoles so swimming isn't a concern for us, but kids should be water confident and capable to swim to go out. Not to mention be able to hoist themselves up. Getting out of the water and climbing up onto an inflatable isn't ever going to be easy.. Life vests are provided.

The idea is ok but they ask 15€ for 60 minutes. This is not a joke. They refused my kid because he is under 6 but they changed their mind and allowed my kid but informed me No refund if he doesn’t like it. It is a floating matrass no water activity on top of it. Fair price will be 3€ for 1 hour.

Fantastic afternoon of fun!! We went to CostaWaterpark at the top end of Fuengirola, we only did the hour session, but I wish we did the all day badge! The waves were up on the day, making the whole experience so much more fun with a whole lot more hilarious fails (definitely wasn’t for the faint hearted)😂. Kailee on the desk was wonderful too, she looked after all of our valuables for the duration and interacted with all the customers after asking how we found it. Would 100% reccomend!

Be aware if you’re child is nervous of going on this. My son went on for 1 min. Turned around and jumped off. Too scared to do it. He’s 10. We went back to see if I could even swap his place. Shrugged shoulders and a defiant “no”. My daughter was then on her own and subsequently lasted about 30 mins - not fun on your own. I know it said no refunds but after 1 min?? They couldn’t give an iota. Clearly only interested in profit. 11 Euro’s down the drain.

All beaches are so clean and tidy. The sand is lovely and fluffy, the sea is refreshing and revitalising! Plenty of sun beds around €6 but if you visit hotel yaramar they offer different to their guests. Activities are available at the marina if you fancy jet skis or boat trips Bins available for rubbish. Toilets available. Showers to rinse yourself down after the sea. Little board walks to get to the beach. Plenty of cafes and bars and restaurants to choose from over the other side of the road.
Annie Charles — Google review
A quiet and clean place. Staff at the beach are very friendly and helpful. They are attentive to detail, so carefully care for both the sunbeds and the tables and sand. The rate is quite affordable: 2 sunbeds, an umbrella and a table cost 10 euros. The entrance to the water is pretty smooth and the sand is wonderful. It's fine-grained sand. Clean and clear water. Swim with a lot of curious fishponds. We've come back from vacation with a bunch of shells, some very big. I highly recommend!

I'm sure the place has a good history and it's a good thing to be preserved like this. But it wasn't a whole lot to see actually. Free entry and close to the beach so doesn't hurt to give it a quick visit if you're in the area and like historical settings.

Dannyelle Lee — Google review
Quite extensive remains of a Roman bathhouse with a small mosaic area still visible. Sadly, the villa that it was attached to is now under the adjacent dual carriageway. The site is sandwiched between the road and the elevated railway line but is worth a visit nonetheless. Nearby there is also an area where fish salting was carried out and the ancient fish sauce Garum was prepared. There is a nicely laid out garden slightly above the site (although I have never seen the fountains work) and a small cafe near the entrance is open in the summer months. Some of the artefacts recovered from the site are housed in a small building near the gardens but I have yet to find it open. There are new information boards around the site in Spanish and English.

Lovely beach, suitable for everyone. There is disabled access with wooden walk ways running on to the beach (though not across it) Beautiful Turquoise water, cool to start but warm once your body adjusts to it. The top of the beach near the board walk has toilets and fresh water showers. There are nice affordable bars at the right of the beach near the Eurotar Salinas hotel. These cafes and restaurants do take out ice creams too. the car parks seem to be at the right end of the beach too or you can park anywhere on any road in the sprawling complex all around this end of Caleta de Fuste This is a man made beach with quite gritty "Sand" laid deeply to cover the Natural volcanic ledge that was here, It is a gradual shelf and suitable for all swimming abilities. You still need to be mindful of the currents and wind direction here as the entrance to the beach goes directly out to sea There are man life guard towers here and a shark net to protect the beach from both Sharks and rays. There are smaller fish and these quite happily swim round you, you need to be aware of this as some people seemed quite distressed by that. These fish do not bite but might just swim against you. You can hire sun loungers and sun shades/Parasols here on the beach - you just sit on a lounger and the attendants will come to you. We were there 2nd week in September 2022 and the price was still 10 Euros for all day rental of x 2 loungers and Parasol 0r 7 Euros for one lounger and Parasol. Pretty good value as you do need the shade especially if you have a young family or you burn easily. Very nice beach for evening walks along the Board walk. Possible Downsides:- It can get very busy in high season, but never "Rammed" Very close to airport so planes fly over head to land - but its not that often . Can be choppy with small waves on very windy days.

A great beach with a snack bar, toilets (free), and 2 sunchairs and shade for €10.50. Beach has a bit of rocks and seaweed, but that doesn't bother the kids. Go further down away from the toilets for less sand and seaweed. Quite windy.
Lisa “Jootjoot” C — Google review
To start with, location is very close to the airport if that makes any difference, beach is manmade, not natural. It's wide, there's plenty of room for everyone, ocean is calm so it's ideal for families with young children, down side of it I would say is that there are only 2 beach bars operating from 11 till 6 only so if you would like to eat some restaurant food you have walk a bit to the main area off the beach. There's another thing to mention here that can be annoying or pleasant, the airplanes are flying right above the beach and they are loud. Hope I covered it all.

The beach has excellent facilities, including restaurants and cafes, clean bathrooms near the beach, showers, and parasols (€7 for one person or 10 for two people). The beach is ok, it certainly isn't the best on the island, but the water is calm and it is clean. It's near the airport - about a 10 minute drive. There are dromedaries which were nice to see, with the option to pay for a ride.

Fantastic beach. Shallow water for quite the distance out. Very little waves means you can chill in the water with your kids with no worries. Nice snack bar on the beach. Camel rides and toilets as well. You can also rent sun beds for a resonable price. 10 euros for two for the whole day.

Such a beautiful place!! In the early morning the beach is quite empty and it’s lovely to take some pictures! If you want to use the sun beds and the umbrella there is a €10.50 charge for a day. There are shower, toilet and live guards available. Also, few restaurants that have take away coffee and drinks with an average of €3 per drink. Definitely a place to visit!
Silvia Casian — Google review
A truly wonderful beach that's very wide. Toilets are on the beach. A bar on the beach too. Many restaurants and cafes nearby. The sand is flat as it's a man made beach. This makes it easy to walk on, but not as great for sand castles!! The water is shallow though, so great for swimming in ! Very tranquil with many sunbeds under shaded umbrellas. To note, it's 10 mins drive in the car from the airport.
Jamie Ward — Google review
A very large and lovely, man-made beach, with affordable sun loungers. A pair of loungers with canapoy was €10.50 per day. Attended by several life guards, the shore at low tide is very stoney so wear your beach shoes while in the water, (well it is a volcanic island after all). There are good walkways with clean, attended toilets (tips are optional but don't be shy...) and loads of bins etc. The chierichetto is good for a coffee or drink but a bit far from the water front, but the wooded walkways make this tolerable. This is a windy beach so be prepared.
A Live — Google review
Nice and scenic at both day and night, even if it is highly likely to be man-made. The ocean is still real and you get some spectacular views of the coast regardless. Didn't use the sunbeds during the day so uncertain as to the cost, we mainly just had the odd walk around as we were staying very close-by.

A nice beach that I think is man made as it is virtually all South facing. It’s quite shallow especially when the sea goes out. Very little in the way of Waves as the bay is a bit sheltered. The Sun beds are just over €5 per person per day. Toilets and areas to recycle. There is a bit of an area for disabled access/pushchair. Near the centre.
