The rich biodiversity of Loro Parque, Tenerife's modern zoo

Loro Parque is a zoo that was opened in 1972 by a German businessman.

The park describes itself as a "modern zoo", and the team prides itself on providing high-quality care for the animals that live there.

As you visit, you'll find aquariums, enclosures and immersive experiences.

All day long, you can enjoy quality shows at Loro Parque. Orcas, parrots, sea lions and even dolphins will be dressed up to put on a show like you've never seen before.

Find out more about the shows and opening times on the Loro Parque website.

Loro Parque respects the concept of the 5 freedoms for animals, principles recognised and respected worldwide for the well-being of animals in captivity. These principles address both the physical and mental suffering of animals.

The zoo contains around 400 species of animal. These include bats, gorillas, parrots, penguins, orcas, alligators and lions.

Unforgettable immersive experiences

Various areas are dedicated to a particular animal. So you can discover its habitat, habits and food... as if you were there.

The Parrot Museum

The Loro Parque Parrot Museum traces the history of the parrot through Asia, South America, Africa and Indonesia.

Loro Parque is not just a zoo. It is first and foremost a foundation that researches, protects and rescues protected or endangered species of parrot. The scientists and researchers on the team help the animals to live in peace.

It's a long-term job that involves protecting their habitat, supporting innovative and modern research, rescuing animals in distress and educating new generations.

There are kiosks and a restaurant in the park where you can take a break and grab a bite to eat.

The kiosks offer coffee and other drinks from 9.30am, while the restaurant opens for lunch at 11am.

If you prefer to eat outside the zoo, there's a very good meat restaurant just opposite the zoo.

Brunelli's welcomes you in a sophisticated setting for gourmet dishes made with quality ingredients.
