An April 2006 trip to Canary Islands by mags22

It was amazing, we got a bus which we booked as an excursion for 27. There is a penguin aquarium, sealions macaw jungle everything along the stops in the park there are plenty of snackbars. The kids will love this as much as the adults. Make sure to wear comfortable runners as there is a jungle trail and you will definitely need all day in the park as it's so big and definitely worth every penny.

Parques Exoticos

Attraction

The eagle show and the falcon shows, also the owls and the parrots were the highlights. You will need all day to view this park but would highly recommend the bird park with all the exotic birds and the shows they preform are excellent.
