Tickets and prices
Prices are from the Bioparc’s own ticket page, and they vary with the time of year, so the figures are the “from” prices. Buy from the Bioparc: searches for Bioparc tickets return sites with the park’s name in their web address that are not the operator.

- The afternoon ticket. Entry at 16:00 or 18:00 is 20% cheaper. It is an online-only promotion with limited daily availability, and the park’s page does not date it.
- Virtual reality. The Last Frontier costs €5 a person, bought online, at the ticket office or in the park, with limited capacity.
- Discounts do not combine. The discount rates cannot be added to one another. The Valencia Tourist Card takes 10% off.
- Refunds. The Bioparc refunds tickets you cannot use. Email your purchase confirmation to info@bioparcvalencia.es with the subject RETURN TICKETS and a contact number, and it confirms within 72 hours.

What to see
The Bioparc describes itself as an animal park built round the idea of “zoo-immersion”: a recreation of African habitats in which visitors get close to animals, plants and landscape with few visible barriers. It has four areas, and an elephant herd by rocks and waterfalls.

- The African savanna. An extensive plain with rhinos, antelopes and giraffes under the eye of the lions.
- The equatorial jungle. Families of gorillas and chimpanzees and leopards, in a recreation of the rainforests of equatorial Africa.
- The African wetlands. The park says it holds the only underwater view of hippos in Spain.
- Madagascar. A walk among lemurs. The park’s page says 80% of the island’s species are found nowhere else. Guide dogs and assistance dogs cannot enter this area or the educational exhibition in the amphitheatre.

The order that works: arrive at 10:00, since the park closes at sunset and, the park warns, some animals may not be in their enclosures in the last moments. Check the day’s closing time on the calendar before you book a 16:00 or 18:00 entry. What to skip: the virtual-reality experience unless you have time left, since it is an extra €5.

Hours, rules and getting there
- Hours. Open every day of the year from 10:00, or 11:00 on 25 December and 1 January. Closing follows the hours of sunshine, and the operator’s calendar gives each day. The last entry is one hour before closing.
- Re-entry. Not allowed unless you buy a new ticket or the staff authorise it in an exceptional case.
- Children. Under-14s must be accompanied at all times by an adult, with at most five minors to one adult. Over-14s can visit alone with a signed guardian’s form and copies of both identity documents.
- Weather. The Bioparc closes in a red weather alert.
- Getting there: beside the Parque de Cabecera. Metro line 3, 5 or 9 to Nou d’Octubre, or EMT buses 67, 95, 98 and 99. Parking costs €7 a day.
- The one thing that ruins a visit: arriving in the last hour, or leaving for lunch, since the park closes at sunset, admits nobody in the final hour and does not let you back in.
What to book in Valencia has the closed days for every sight. Valencia with kids sorts the family sights by age. The Oceanogràfic is the other animal ticket, and the Turia Gardens run past the Bioparc’s end of the park. Valencia Tourist Card: is it worth it? runs the 10% discount. Valencia public transport has the metro and bus fares, and the hop-on hop-off bus has a stop at the Bioparc. 3 days in Valencia puts the Bioparc beside the City of Arts and Sciences as the alternative for children.
