Most of these animals are endangered or have the risk of being endangered and Bioparc Fuengirola aims to protect them from disappearing.<\/p>\n<p>Bioparc Fuengirola takes part in programs to promote and guarantee the survival of the species. This park works with the UE Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) to guarantee the preservation of the Madagascar fauna, like the pygmy hippo, coast gorillas, the island orange, or the lemurs.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it escapes the traditional zoo model to respect nature and the conservation of all species, establishing itself as a reference for a sustainable zoo in Europe.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-can-you-find-in-bioparc-fuengirola\"><\/span>What can you find in Bioparc Fuengirola?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find all sorts of bird, mammal, and reptile species from four areas of the world: Equatorial Africa, South-East Asia, Madagascar, and some islands of the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p>The park is formed and surrounded by lots of plants and water elements to make the animals feel as if they were in their natural habitats and make the visitors live a real-life experience in the middle of the jungle. If you love marine wildlife too, you can read our post on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.delpasocarhire.com\/information\/selwo-marina-marine-park\/\"> Selwo Marina<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Free guided tours are offered throughout the day at different times and activities relating to nature conservation and how animals are fed and exercised.<\/p>\n<p>The park also provides a large play area for children, gift shops, and two restaurants with large terraces to eat some food and enjoy sitting in this unique environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"additional-information\"><\/span>Additional information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"prices\"><\/span>Prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The prices vary depending on the age of the visitor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General admission: 23,00\u20ac<\/li>\n<li>From 3 to 9 years old: 17,00\u20ac<\/li>\n<li>+65 years old: 18,00\u20ac<\/li>\n<li>Disabled: 12,50\u20ac<\/li>\n<li>Under 3 years old: free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you buy the tickets on their website, you can get a 1\u20ac discount for each ticket bought.
