New Terra Natura Opening Soon 2 November 2006
A new Terra Natura wildlife park in Murcia is due to open next Easter in time for the 2007 tourist season.
The park is being built on the site of the former zoo in Espinardo. It will cover an area of 13 hectares and will be home to more than 400 animals. The majority of its attractions will come from Spain and Africa.
The park will have some unique attractions. Perhaps one of the most ambitious plans is to recreate the Masai Mara natural park which is situated in East Africa.
Terra Natura has had major success with its park near Benidorm where it has become an established tourist and visitor attraction. There you can swing over an elephant enclosure, or go swimming with baby sharks.
There is a serious side to the attraction as nearly 1% of its ticket sales are ploughed into the Terra Natura Foundation, which as you might expect is dedicated to the long term welfare of animals both in the parks and in the wild. |
