Most combine conservation work with engaging family experiences. Tickets are cheaper online, and combined tickets with neighbouring water parks save significantly for two-day stays. ## Best animal parks within 1 hour - Mundomar, Benidorm (60 min) – dolphins, sea lions, parrots - Terra Natura, Benidorm (65 min) – African and Asian animals - Safari Aitana (75 min) – drive-through African safari - Río Safari Elche (90 min) – large open-air zoo ## Best for younger kids Mundomar focuses on marine animals with interactive shows.
