One of the best family days out in Menorca. First up, you'll visit Lloc de Menorca animal park, a sanctuary for species from all over the world. And then you'll enjoy downtime at the blue-flag Son Bou beach. Nicola, one of our guides on this tour, says, ‘Small children will love the animal splash park and indoor play areas. And you can get your holiday snaps with a variety of animals, including a snake.'

Set in beautiful, flower-filled gardens, Lloc de Menorca is home to all sorts of farm animals and exotic creatures. The welfare of the animals is the utmost priority. Nicola says, ‘Rescued animals enjoy a new life, in what would be their own normal environments.' And Debbie, another of our guides, adds, ‘The Lloc is so much more than a zoo – it's a sanctuary to many abused animals from circuses, illegal trafficking and even overbreeding.'

As you follow the paths around the ponds, you'll come face-to-face with playful monkeys, meet friendly dwarf goats and get up close to everything from kangaroos and giant tortoises to porcupines and peacocks. There's also a reptile house where you can have your picture taken with a snake. Spot lots of birds in the aviary, including cheeky parrots hiding in the leaves. To round off the day, we make the 15-minute journey to sun-kissed Son Bou – others take you to beaches further away. Boasting almost 3km of blond sand, it's the longest stretch of beach on Menorca. You'll have around an hour here to stretch out for a sunbathe, go for a swim or have a poke around the souvenir shops. And if you opt in for lunch, you'll sit down to a tasty meal in Restaurant Arena.

The cost of this activity is pricey, considering the entry price for the animal park is only 13 euros. Would have preferred the option of only going to the animal park then back to the hotel at this time of year.

The zoo was lovely. I am not very mobile and was worried about the trip. I could access the majority of the site quite easily, the driver tipped the coach to allow for easier boarding. My kids loved the animal ark particularly the Lemurs. At Son Bao, all we did was have a meal and a look on 2 shops as I was tired and didn't think the beach was a good idea. The coach driver pulled over a few times on the sat back to point out sites worth seeing which was really nice.

We really enjoyed the animal sanctuary and the work they do for the animals that are abandoned or not well. You can see the love the keepers have for their jobs and the privilege it is to do what they do, they are so happy. Feeding time is fun at the lemer enclosure they jump all around you , and also have a nice restaurant as well. The beach is nice, but you can save some money by buying your own lunch if you want.

The animal sanctuary was good, plenty of time to get round it all and stop for a drink. However the beach part of the day is not long enough to visit the beach, shops and have lunch comfortably, felt very rushed for the afternoon.

We enjoyed the animal park and the beech but a better explanation regarding the food inclusion, would have been helpful. We were told food was included but when we asked the rep on the trip they said we were not down for it and that it was not included in the trip price. Not explained on booking. However quite glad that it wasn't as it was at an Irish pub. Not quite the Spanish experience.
