Loro Parque is Tenerife’s world-class wildlife park with an educational mission at its heart. Its 33 acres are home to more than 400 species. With your Loro Park ticket, you’ll see everything from gorillas and tigers to penguins, dolphins and one of the world’s largest parrot collections. Alongside wow-worthy animal encounters, there’s a big focus on conservation, biodiversity and education.
Founded in 1972 as a modest parrot sanctuary, the park has grown into one of the Canary Islands’ top attractions. Your visit to Loro Parque is about more than seeing amazing animals though. The park has a reputation for its global conservation work, helping protect endangered habitats and species, from green sea turtles to orangutans.
There’s plenty more to spot beyond the wildlife too, including restaurants, tropical gardens with thousands of orchids and a Thai-style village. Plus, you can double the fun with a twin ticket to Siam Park, where you can make a splash at Europe’s largest water park.
