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.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
