The Costa del Sol is full of great things to do whilst on your holiday here, but if you are looking for a change from topping up that tan, then why not pay a visit to one of the coasts most popular tourist attractions; The Crocodile Park in Torremolinos.
Situated right in the very centre of Torremolinos the Crocodile Park is home to around 250 Crocodiles one of which just so happens to be “Paco”, the largest Crocodile in Europe!
Visiting the park is a real treat and quite an eye opening experience. Every day at 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3.30pm you are offered the opportunity of taking a guided tour with either Enrique Sanchez Prieto or Roman Reina Aranda.
Both men have a wealth of experience when it comes to understanding these prehistoric creatures and provide you with a wealth of information on the Crocs. It’s hard to believe that these amazing creatures have evolved over the past 200 million years!
The guides also do something that at first glance may appear to be somewhat crazy. They get in the pens with the Crocodiles and stand just a few feet away! But don’t worry, these guys know the Crocodiles inside out and know exactly what they can and can’t do. It really is a spectacle for sure!
It takes around 2 hours to cover the whole of the park and see everything on offer. There is also a gift shop and restaurant for refreshments and snacks.
Opening Times
The Crocodile Park is open every day of the year from 10am to 5pm (November – February), 10am – 6pm (March, April, May, October) and 10am to 7pm (June to September)
How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of entry is just €14.00 for Adults, €11.50 for children 4-12, €12.00 for over 65’s and free for under 4’s.
The park also offers easy access for disabled visitors. Please also note that under 12 year old’s must be accompanied by an adult.
