THIS coming June, BIOPARC Fuengirola will celebrate a very special milestone: 25 years of history dedicated to bringing nature, conservation, and adventure closer to thousands of visitors from around the world.
Over the past quarter century, the zoological park has become much more than a tourist destination on the Costa del Sol; it has created a true sanctuary for endangered species and an immersive experience that transports visitors to some of the planet’s most fascinating ecosystems.
From the very beginning, its commitment has been clear: to create a space where biodiversity conservation and environmental education are just as important as the visitor experience.
Today, 25 years later, BIOPARC Fuengirola looks back with pride and celebrates some of its most important achievements.

25 Years of Historic Conservation Milestones
Over the last two and a half decades, BIOPARC Fuengirola has actively participated in international conservation programs for endangered species, contributing to the future of animals facing critical threats in the wild.
Among its most significant milestones are the births of Komodo dragons, one of the world’s most impressive and endangered reptiles; Malayan tapirs, a species whose conservation is essential for Southeast Asian rainforests; as well as orangutans and western lowland gorillas, whose survival depends on the collaborative efforts of institutions committed to biodiversity protection.
The park has also achieved important successes with lesser-known but equally vital species, such as giant otters and Edwards’s pheasants, one of the most endangered bird species in the world.

A Unique Experience to Discover the World
But BIOPARC Fuengirola is not only about conservation. It is also an invitation to travel.
Visitors do not simply encounter extraordinary animals; they embark on a true expedition through different corners of the world.
Through tropical jungles, suspension bridges, hidden temples, and lush vegetation, guests are immersed in settings inspired by the great routes of exploration.
The experience evokes the legendary journeys of explorers such as Magellan and Elcano, who transformed the understanding of the world more than 500 years ago.
Every visit becomes an adventure where nature, history, and discovery go hand in hand.
For many travelers choosing the Costa del Sol as their holiday destination, BIOPARC Fuengirola offers a unique and unexpected experience: a tropical oasis where visitors can take a break from the beach and explore Asian, American, and African jungles without ever leaving Andalusia.
Over these 25 years, millions of visitors have walked its paths and become part of its story.
Families, adventurers, animal lovers, and travelers of all ages have found in BIOPARC Fuengirola a one-of-a-kind experience that combines entertainment, learning, and emotion.
Today, the park continues to look toward the future with the same passion and enthusiasm as on its very first day.

Discover the Adventure This Summer
Step into tropical jungles, discover unique species, follow routes inspired by history’s great expeditions, and experience a journey around the world in an unforgettable adventure for the entire family.
And this summer, the adventure continues after sunset.
During July and August, BIOPARC Fuengirola will also open at night, offering an exclusive and distinctive experience that very few zoological parks can provide.
Exploring the park under the moonlight transforms the experience completely, as the jungle comes alive in a different way after dark.
Visitors will discover a new perspective on the tropical rainforest while enjoying a unique birds and mammals show designed to inspire emotion and foster a deeper connection with nature.
In addition, every Thursday the park will offer an even more special experience as the Mayan universe comes to life in the Jungle Clearing through a surprising themed program that transports visitors into a night of mystery, culture, and adventure.
Because after 25 years, BIOPARC Fuengirola continues to believe that understanding nature is the first step toward protecting it… and that some of the most unforgettable adventures begin after sunset.
Plan your visit, discover all the experiences, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable expedition through the official BIOPARC Fuengirola website.
