Practical details for your visit

Tickets are straightforward:

All activities come included with admission, so no need for extra bookings. You can spend the morning exploring the animals, enjoy lunch and then join the crafts in the afternoon. It is the sort of plan that works well for families in Murcia, combining fresh air, wildlife and a bit of creativity.

Fathers' Day does not need to mean crowded restaurants or the same old gifts. At Terra Natura Murcia, it is about shared moments, a walk among the animals and children proudly presenting their creations. Dads get appreciation, kids get fun and everyone gets to enjoy the park's natural setting.

If March 19 is free in your diary, this could be the perfect way to mark the day. Terra Natura Murcia makes it easy to create those family memories that stick.

Terra Natura Murcia, wildlife and adventure water park in the outskirts of the city of Murcia

Terra Natura Murcia is one of the most important and spectacular animal and nature parks in western Spain, and is one of a new generation of wildlife parks in which visitors can discover the concept of what's called "Zooinmersión."

The aim of this is recreate a habitat which gives an experience of being at one with the wildlife viewed in the park, so to this end more than 500 examples of 50 species of vegetation have been interplanted among the animal habitats, spread across an area occupying more than 165,000 square metres.

The planting has matured to create a comfortable and interesting environment which enhances the interaction between visitors and animals.

The planting not only softens the landscape, but also enables visitors to be closer to the animals and have direct human contact rather than the traditional forms of wildlife park where the animals are at a distance behind physical barriers.

The park contains over 500 animals belonging to 50 different species (some of which are in grave danger of extinction), alongside giraffes, lions, hippopotamus, lemurs, brown bears, Iberian lynx, Oryx, Iberian wolves and a White African Rhinoceros.

Throughout the year, Terra Natura Murcia offers different educational talks during visits to their facilities: giraffes, brown bears and otters.

One of the most popular areas is the falconry zone, where the displays enable visitors to discover the beauty of a great variety of birds such as the majestic flight of the peregrine falcon, which reaches diving speeds of over 300 km an hour, the eagle owl, various types of hawk, the griffon vulture and the buzzard eagle. One of the main aims of the park is to encourage contact and engage in interaction between animals and humans, and the falconry is a popular means of achieving this goal.

Among the mammals are Iberian and European Lynx, Mouflon and Coatis.
