Zoomarine
Wonderful theme park that has lots of activities for children mixed with plenty of marine life including dolphins, seals and lots of birds. The park is spread over 8 hectares and includes a large aqarium and several habitats including aligators, seals and sea-lions. One of the team went for the day last year with their two godchildren - 4 and 7 years old and had a wonderful time.
Â
Swim with the dolphins. One of the few places in Europe where you can book a session to go into the pool with the dolphins. The price at time of writing was 145 Euros per person - Zoomarine is a dolphin conservation park so you know that the involvement with the dolphins is very professional.
Â
There are plenty of swimming pools, rides and shows (like the tropical bird show) so it is possible to spend the whole day there.
Click here for the Zoomarine Website which is basic but has all the information you need - also in English.

Local Tips
Pre-buy your tickets to avoid the queues - especially if you are coming in July and August when the park is at its busiest. You should book the 'swim with the dolphins' well ahead as there are limited spaces.
