    Parque tematicos Málaga

    December comes around and with it the aroma of Christmas and holidays. The little ones start their most special break of the year. They leave school behind for a few weeks and now is the time to enjoy, make plans to enjoy some family time and switch up the routine.  Dedicating time to our children and making different and fun plans where they lead the way is a gift for the little ones in the family. However, sometimes we do not know which family attractions are the best for having a memorable day.

    One of the ideas that children like most are amusement and theme parks. Spending a day playing, and having lots of fun and laughs are the perfect ingredients for a perfect Christmas day out. There are numerous amusement parks in Málaga, where you can take the kids at this time of year to have endless fun. This is why we have put together a list with different theme parks in Málaga for a very special family day.

     

     

    Selwo

    Children and animals have had a special relationship since ancient times. They are passionate about them and what better way to get close to them than at Selwo Aventura in Estepona. It is a theme park with over 2000 different examples of wildlife which live in a manner similar to their natural habitat in semi freedom. Bengal Tigers, elephants, white rhinos and lions are some of the animals that can be found here. This place also organises activities to enjoy a more pleasant way to visit. Across the Costa del Sol, in Benalmádena, you can find Selwo Marina, another park owned by the same company but this time dedicated to sea animals. The penguins are the kings of the place together with dolphins and sea lions.

    Bioparc

    Bioparc Fuengirola is a new zoo concept based on respect for nature and the preservation of its species. The architectural design of the place favours immersion because it immerses visitors in the animal environment. Its 25-metre-high baobab is well-known as one of the world’s largest artificial trees. Bioparc recreates habitats from all five continents and, at certain times of year, holds ethnic events that make us forget that we are in the Costa del Sol, transporting us to other parts of the world. The birds and mammals exhibition is combined with monitors in a sort of narrated tale that explores the drive we have to reach other natural places unknown to us.

    Lobo Park (Wolf Park)

    As mentioned above, the relationship between children and animals is very close and so in the province of Malaga there are several parks where they can stay in touch. One of them is located in Antequera and is very special for having an animal which is feared yet loved by children. It’s Lobo Park, a new way of approaching and loving the wolf, this fairy-tale animal. The tour of the park can be done on horseback and from there you can hear the howls and see the beauty of the different races. Kids can learn more about this animal on Lobo Park Farm where, in an entertaining way, they can find out more about this animal and see it living together with other more friendly animals like pot-bellied pigs, ducks and chickens.

    Butterfly house

    If you want to offer your children an array of colours for their eyes, stop by the butterfly house in Benalmádena. Located next to the Buddhist stupa, this room includes all species of this winged animal. Given that the life expectancy of butterflies is a couple of weeks, the population of this zoo is renewed naturally every fortnight. Take your little ones to this room where they can immerse themselves in a world of fairies. While these small insects flit around children, they can learn about their behaviour and role in nature.
