Cocodrilo Park is a great mix of zoo and animal rescue centre with a huge range of animals and lots to do and see for the kids. It's well worth the drive or the free bus trip. 

Cocodrilo Park zoo is Gran Canaria’s main animal rescue centre for exotic animals. It has tigers saved from zoos, chimpanzees confiscated from smugglers and a huge range of other exotic creatures from ostriches to desert foxes that it has adopted over the years.

When you visit, your entrance fee contributes to keeping all the rescued animals at Cocodrilo Park fed and happy.

It also has the biggest group of crocodiles in Spain and puts on daily crocodile feeding and handling shows. Kids can also handle a wide range of tame and harmless animals like lizards.

Other highlights at Cocodrilo Park include the daily bird feedings when all the parrots and exotic ibis in its huge walk-through aviary are fed at the same time.

Cocodrilo Park is in east Gran Canaria but puts on a free bus every day from both Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas, and from Taurito and Puerto Rico.

This attraction is closed on Saturdays.

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
