Loro Parque
An animal theme park famed for the world's largest collection of parrots, with a penguin house, gorillas, and sea lion and dolphin shows; popular with families.
Loro Parque opened in 1972, growing from a parrot garden into a large animal park. Its collection includes around 350 parrot species, along with the Planet Penguin ice-and-snow penguin house, gorillas, tigers, an aquarium, and sea lion and dolphin shows (orca shows have been the subject of animal welfare debates). Admission is about 40 euros, and combined tickets with Siam Park are available. Opening hours are roughly 09:00 to 18:30. A free shuttle train runs to and from Puerto de la Cruz. A full day is recommended.
