Our impressions of Terra Natura

The first thing that you will notice about Terra Natura is that it is not a zoo. It's an animal park. The environments in which the animals are kept are as near to their homeland as possible. The animals appear to be very well cared for, very healthy and altogether happy.

As you make you way round Terra Natura you will begin to appreciate the sheer size of the park. It's huge and a good trip will last you the best part of the day. Each themed area is well designed, with reproduction architecture to match the style. There are places to eat and drink, again designed to match the theme. Travelling between the themed areas is easy, with good footpaths and a painted arrow system to guide you on the best route.

Features at Terra Natura include:

Regular feeding of the animals

Regular shows and displays

Large outdoor theatre with shows

Cafes, restaurants and a gift shop

Picnic areas

Well designed observation points to watch the animals

Ample parking right outside the park, taxi ranks and bus stops
