Terra Natura Benidorm: A fun and educational adventure for the whole family

Terra Natura Benidorm is a magical world for both kids and adults from around the globe. Located less than 15 minutes by car from Levante Beach (one of the most famous beaches in Spain), this zoo is a fantastic way to complement your holiday with educational moments that are also incredibly fun! Here’s everything you need to know so you can simply focus on enjoying your time surrounded by nature at Terra Natura Benidorm.

Why visit Terra Natura, Benidorm

This beautiful wildlife park spans 320,000 square metres of animal-filled terrain. It’s divided into four zones: Pangea, America, Asia, and Europe, where you and your family can observe around 1,500 animals from nearly 200 species. But it’s not just about seeing animals — it’s about enjoying immersive experiences that everyone will love. From the Mermaid School to Night Safaris, there are options for all tastes and ages.

Animal welfare and wildlife conservation are two of the main goals of this zoo.

Terra Natura Benidorm offers educational activities (for both children and adults) aimed at promoting respect for nature and raising awareness about environmental and animal threats. The result is an “immersive zoo” experience, bringing you closer to wildlife.

Esto se ve reforzado por barreras invisibles que mantienen a personas y animales a una distancia segura para todos.
