Visit Cocodrilo Park in Agüimes for a value-priced family day with rescued animals, Europe’s biggest alligator exhibit, and engaging talks.
“We loved our visit to the Cocodrilo park. The animals have been rescued, cannot be released into the wild and the friendly staff make it very clear that exotic animals do not make good pets. The animals all seemed well-cared-for. We were surprised by how many species there were and also the number of each animals - there must have been about 30 crocodiles! There were many reptiles, birds and mammals. We loved all the animals, but especially the parrots and the Bengal Tiger. There was a pleasant cafe in the centre of the park, selling things like chips and sandwiches and smoothies, and a large, modern toilet block opposite.…”
