What is Bioparc Valencia?

Bioparc Valencia: a new generation zoo

Based on the zoo-immersion concept

Bioparc Valencia is a zoological park of a new generation, created employing the concept of zoo-immersion: immersing the visitor completely in wild habitats.

Bioparc Valencia is also dedicated to conservation of animals, to education and to awareness of the necessity of preserving natural ecosystems.

It participates in many captive breeding programs for species in danger of extinction, and at the same time it offers a rich educational experience.

But beyond its educational and conservational role, Bioparc Valencia is also a magical world.

Offering exciting experiences around every bend, during every minute of the visit. It is an adventure in discovering wild animals and their habitats.

Zoo-immersion

Zoo-immersion is a philosophy and design technique that endeavors to immerse the visitor in a faithful re-creation of natural habitats. The animals, the vegetation and the landscape form a setting that invites the visitors to discover the complexity of the natural ecosystems surrounding them.

The barriers are hidden, giving a sense of continuity between the enclosures in which the animals live and the space that the public occupies.

Bioparc Valencia now

A part of Africa in Valencia

The first phase of Bioparc is dedicated to Africa, but this important project will be expanding in the next years; the following phases will be devoted to Southeast Asia and the Neotropics.

Currently we are able to enjoy the extensive African savannah, wandering among herds of antelopes, giraffes and rhinos while a pride of lions watches over the vast grassland from its rocky summit. We can discover life underground, around an imposing termite mound, exploring the burrows of aardvarks, warthogs and hyenas. We can venture into the thick equatorial forest in search of gorillas, tread next to leopards and buffalos and follow the footpath of the elephants to a cave excavated by these pachyderms.
