BIOPARC Valencia is much more than a zoo. It’s a space dedicated to conservation, education, and respect for animals, designed under a revolutionary concept known as “zoo immersion.”
Located in the Cabecera Park, within the former riverbed of the Turia River, this 100,000-square-meter park takes visitors directly into the natural habitats of its animals, eliminating visible barriers and offering a truly immersive experience.
🌍 The philosophy of BIOPARC: live nature from the inside
BIOPARC Valencia was created to transform the way people experience wildlife. Its philosophy is simple but powerful: “take visitors into the animals’ habitat, not the other way around.”
Here, fences are almost invisible, and animals move freely in spaces that faithfully reproduce their ecosystems.
From the beginning, the park has had two main goals:
- To promote respect for animals and the environment.
- To educate and raise awareness about wildlife conservation.
The BIOPARC Foundation leads projects in education, research, and conservation, helping endangered species and spreading environmental awareness. Thanks to this work, BIOPARC Valencia has become an international reference for sustainable tourism and immersive education.

🌿 Conservation and future expansion
