The 3 best attractions in Valencia
The Oceanogràfic
Located in the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia's Turia River Gardens. This is the largest aquarium in Europe, with more than 45,000 living creatures of 500 species, 45,000 living beings of 500 different species represented in the main marine ecosystems, its distribution of the different aquariums and its scientific, recreational and educational vocation bring the marine world closer to the whole population and raise awareness of the protection of its fauna and flora, also serving as a platform for scientific research.
The Oceanogràfic is made up of different buildings, each of which represents the most important ecosystems of each of the planet's seas and oceans:
Mediterranean: represents the biological wealth of the Mediterranean Sea through the exhibition of nine aquariums with different formats depending on the habitat represented and with around 7,400 specimens of fish and invertebrates.
Wetlands: represented by a 26-metre-high sphere that simulates the two great wetlands of the planet: the American mangrove swamp and the Mediterranean marsh.
Template and Tropical: a journey from the temperate regions of the Pacific and the Atlantic to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean, connected by a fantastic 70-metre-long underwater tunnel, the longest in Europe.
Oceans: with a volume of 7 million cubic meters, it is the largest aquarium in the Oceanogràfic and one of the largest in the world. It represents a journey through the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Bermuda, through a tunnel where you can see species such as the bull shark, the grey shark and the sunfish, and many more.
Antarctic: you can see a whole colony of penguins in a recreation of a rocky cliff with breeding and nesting areas.
Arctic: an igloo represents the Arctic zone. Here, rocky cliffs and blocks of ice show the beluga whales, one of the most unique marine mammals on the planet.
Islands: located on the outside, it represents the islands located along the South American coast, characterized by the presence of large colonies of Patagonian sea lions.
Red Sea-Submarine Auditorium: a large hall topped with a "pilgrim's shell" shaped roof. Inside is the auditorium, which seats 466 people against the backdrop of a spectacular aquarium depicting the Red Sea, and can be hired for any customized event.
Submarine Restaurant: inside a water lily designed by the architect Félix Candela, it has a large aquarium on the lower floor and is located in the center of the complex; it is the most unique building in the Oceanogràfic.
Dolphinarium: one of the largest dolphinariums in the world, with 26 million cubic meters of water and a depth of 10.5 meters. The Oceanogràfic offers a dolphin show several times a day that is well worth seeing.
Bioparc Valencia, a zoo integrated into the landscape
Valencia has an innovative zoo where the barriers are natural and the animals live at ease. The Park covers an area of 100,000 square meters and is located in the park at the head of the old Turia riverbed.
The uniqueness of the park is that the visitor approaches the habitat of the animals and not the other way around, as is the case with traditional zoos, a concept known as zoo-immersion.
The aim of the Bioparc park is to encourage respect for animals and to make visitors aware of the importance of caring for the environment, with the premises of education and conservation of the animals. Leopards, lemurs, hyenas, lions, giraffes, gorillas, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, porcupines, ostriches, elephants, otters... live together in this zoological world, which offers exciting experiences of animal life.
To visit Bioparc is to find "A piece of Africa in Valencia", showing all the African fauna and flora and the different habitats that cohabit it. However, Bioparc will not be limited to Africa, as it plans to extend the park by 20,000 meters in the next few years to dedicate part of the park to Southeast Asia and South America.
In the African Savannah the visitor can see zebras, impalas, blesbok, marabous, cranes, giraffes, lions, striped mongooses, exotic birds, African elephants, white rhinoceroses among others... but also with their underground life and see the burrows of the Orycteropus and the African termite mounds.
In Equatorial Africa, primates are the star, gorillas, mangabeys, cercopithecines, herds of bongos, red buffaloes, potamoks, leopards, chimpanzees, driles, talapoines, cercopithecines, pygmy hippos and sitatunga antelopes.
In Madagascar you will find 7 different species of lemurs such as the critically endangered grey bamboo lemur.
Aqualandia Water Park Benidorm
Located in Benidorm, Alicante, this water park is one of the most popular in Spain. It was the first water park to open and was the largest in Europe until the opening of Siam Park in Tenerife. It is surrounded by a natural environment and has water attractions for all ages and tastes, typical vegetation of the area and a wide range of restaurants and services.
There are children's rides, other moderate rides and also what are known as radical rides, only suitable for intrepid adventurers. Among these radical attractions is
Verti-Go, a set of two slides, 28 and 33 meters high. The 33-metre slide is the highest slide in Europe and the highest capsule slide in the world.
In addition to the specific areas for the little ones, such as Adventureland or the Wave Pool, they can also ride some of the moderate attractions, such as the Rapids or the Mini Zig-Zag.
