Welcome to the wild world of Bioparc Zoo in Valencia—a place where nature isn’t just an exhibit, it’s the main attraction! Imagine stepping into a living, breathing tapestry of landscapes so immersive that even the animals seem to have been invited to the party. Big predators just don’t seem to necessarily enjoy it.

From the sun-soaked savannah to the lush, secret jungles, Bioparc is a riot of colors, sounds, and unexpected delights that make you feel like you’ve wandered off the beaten path into an untamed wonderland. So, strap in for an adventure where the wild meets witty, and nature has the final, roaring laugh!

Finding your way to Bioparc Zoo in Valencia is half the adventure—think of it as the opening act before the wild show begins! Nestled on the outskirts of the city, Bioparc is wonderfully accessible whether you’re a bus aficionado, a car enthusiast, or even an adventurous cyclist in search of fresh air and a scenic ride.
If you’re hopping on public transport, Valencia’s efficient bus and metro system has you covered.

Step into the Savannah zone, and you’re instantly swept into a sun-drenched realm that screams untamed Africa! Picture endless open plains where majestic lions lounge and giraffes nibble on treetops, all under a vast, brilliant sky. The Savannah at Bioparc is an open invitation to get lost in the simplicity of nature’s design. Here, the rhythmic rustle of tall grasses and the distant call of wildlife create a symphony of freedom that’s both relaxing and exhilarating. It’s the perfect spot to daydream about life on the wild side—perhaps even imagining yourself sharing a leisurely moment with a passing zebra!

The atmosphere is thick with humidity and the raw, pulsating energy of the rainforest, making every step an adventure. As you navigate hidden trails and discover cascading waterfalls, you’ll be charmed by the playful antics of the animals and the sheer exuberance of this miniature equatorial paradise.

Finally, prepare to be enchanted by the quirky allure of Madagascar—an island renowned for its own unique ecosystem. Unfortunately, this zone doesn’t capture all of the island’s famed eccentricity with its unique blend of landscapes and creatures. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to meet the most iconic inhabitants of Madagascar–Lemurs. At Bioparc Valencia Zoo it is an experience like no other. Think of lemurs performing their cheeky acrobatics and mesmerizing long-tail dances right around you. Yes, it is an open space exhibit letting you meet these charismatic creatures up close. Just be sure to close the door after you because if they run free, Lemurs will conquer Valencia in no time.
