It has been a beautiful excursion to Cabárceno. The guide, Rafael, is very kind and attentive to the needs of everyone, including the elderly. Additionally, he is a great guide who makes the visit very enjoyable.
We went to visit the park in early June. Unfortunately, the day we went in the morning, it was raining. But it stopped. We took the cable car upon arrival. A superb view despite the weather. Then we drove around the circuit. Even with the park map, we did not see everything!! This park is truly magnificent and should be visited at least once in a lifetime. I recommend it to you. Larger than Sigean and all the French parks combined. Nothing to compare!!!
it is really a very big park, where it is nit possible to walk only. To join a tour is the best option, unless you drive and take your time. It was a fun tour, with all adults who like animals. Very friendly tour guide Rafa and tourmates . U may have a feeling of safari in Africa, but in a comfortabble environment including the cable car rides.
Very spacious and well-kept park, usually has large and well-preserved facilities, thus presenting the animals with `naturalized' behaviors, however I consider that there are several points to improve, the most important is the park's requirement in compliance with the rules, because many visitors present a total lack of education and decorum especially in the bird show, the area where you can not get off the vehicle and in the habitat of the monkeys (where they throw food), the next proposal would be to attach more food points at height and / or tall trees in the giraffe enclosure, as well as some more shade point, also in the rhino enclosure some more shade point would not hurt either, in the farm animal space specifically where we did not see that they had water (despite being at midday with elevated temperatures), the space of the African spur turtles could be a little more spacious also, the reptilary could have more spacious facilities for snakes, because the small display cases are VERY small, however the WORST thing about the park is the space of the Sea Lions, having a ridiculous pool, zero enrichments or stimulus and being very deteriorated the installation. PLEASE solve the situation of these animals as soon as possible. Despite all this I consider that the park has good spaces (except for the above), the teams do very good work with the animals and the experience is very positive. If you're going to visit the park please don't be an idiot and follow the rules, it's not that hard.
To spend all day (from 0930h to 1830h). It is advisable to enter through the entrance of the town of Cabárceno (not the Obregón). Go first to the Telecabina there, at the entrance, and do the tours. Then drive with the car/caravan/motorcycle through the park. Highly recommended to go to one of the two raptor exhibits, and sit in the high ranks of the amphitheater. Leave the reptilary for the last.
A disgrace!! This is the first time I have written something on Tripadvisor and I have used it for many years. Imagine the grief and frustration I feel about having seen the poor animals locked up, depressed, super sad... they promote it as a Space in freedom but it is a prison, a zoo where we would never have taken our children if we had known. The gorillas have no name, a super Small space and the poor still looking at the horizon, a very heavy shame if you like animals😔😔😔😔😔
Buenas tardes, lamentamos su decepción visitando el parque. No obstante, tenga en cuenta que este espacio es para valorar NUESTRA EXCURSION AL PARQUE y no su experiencia realizando la visita por libre... En todo caso, aprovecho para comentarle que el recinto de gorilas se compone de dos espacios, uno cubierto, pero también disponen de un gran jardin al abierto. ... un saludo
Massaging of cars and people. You're not informed of anything at the entrance. Seeing 5 animals for €45 is a steal. If you don't want to ride the cable car the ticket price is the same. The environment can be seen for FREE anywhere in northern Spain. I don't recommend it. I'm not coming back.

Mislim da je najlepši naravni park. Upam, da se nekega dne vrnem. Dan za obisk skoraj as a maternity. Za živali je lepo poskrbljeno
For large families and disabled people, you have to get tickets at the ticket office, so you are logically exposed to not having tickets. Either you take it out without a discount before, or you risk not being able to enter because you are a large family and also with a disability. Too bad. On social media I was given no solution.
We liked it very much, everything very careful and clean, the children hallucinated with all the animals. To eat is great the Restaurant the elephants overlooking the Park...
