This small family-run Crocodile Park Zoo in Gran Canaria – Cocodrilo Park is one of those activities you have to do at least one time while on holiday in Gran Canaria. The park is inland from Aguimes, and you can combine the visit with a trip around Gran Canaria. The entrance price is low, and you can visit the whole park in a couple of hours.

Crodile Park began as an Animal Rescue

The park began as a rescue center for animals, and later evolved into this zoo. The main focus is on Crocodiles as the name of the park says it, but you will find a lot of other animals there, too, most of which are rescue animals or animals from different zoos, who do not have space for them anymore.

Crodile Park – Regular Zoo Gran Canaria

Important to know is that this isn’t a regular animal park, but a sanctuary for rescued animals. You do get information about all of them and we do think especially if you’re with kids, it’s a great educational place to visit. You can see how the employees truly care about the animals there.

Shows & Other Facilities

There are several daily Crocodile and Parrot shows you should not miss while there. You will probably need at least 2-3 hours to see it all. Many people enjoy the stroll through the cactus park area, too. There’s a nice little restaurant inside, with simple, but good meals. There is also a small souvenir shop. And the bathrooms are nice and clean.

Opening Hours

At the time of this writing in 2022, the park only opens three days a week from Friday to Sunday. If you live here, like us, you will probably go at least once or twice per year, usually when friends or family are visiting the island. It is a really peaceful experience looking at the animals in this small cosy and well kept park.

Lovely little park just to break up your day during holiday. Easy to drive to, free car park. Thickets cost 10€ but you know I don't mind to pay because all of this animals has been rescued. Nice and clean place kept pretty well. I'm recommending because it does help to the animals if people visiting.

This animal rescue centre was definitely worth visiting. The entrance fee is very reasonable and you are helping to support their rescue work and care of the animals. They are very clear they are not a zoo. 😁😁

I was not too sure what to expect here but this is a brilliant little place providing security and a nurturing environment to rescue and seized crocodiles, tigers, reptiles and more. The staff are knowledgable and very friendly. You can even walk through the bird enclosure at certain times. A highlight was feeding time for the crocs! If anything it would be nice to read a little more information about where the animals came from but overall a reasonably priced and well worth trip out to see.

Interesting place with many animals, who were rescued or seized by authorities. Very informative for kids and adults as well. There were many opportunities to get closer to the animals while they were fed and the staff told stories about them in Spanish, German and English

Small park, cheap park, good to enjoy yourself during a tour around the island. The amount of crocs is huge. During the day there are multiple feeding moments so you can see the strenght of these animals.If you take your time it will take you 2 hours to get trough the park.
