Entertainment Parks - Costa Del Sol
Below is a list of Costa Del Sol Theme Parks and things to do with the kids. You may be surprised to note that during the height of summer, July & August, the Costa Del Sol Theme Parks are open very very late! Tivoli world is open until 2:00 am!
Under each attraction is their telephone number and website. I advise that you call for opening times and prices, before you go. They will all have English speaking receptionists but put (0034) in front of the numbers if you are using a UK mobile.
We want to give you our personal experiences on all the attractions we have visited so keep a look out for "our days out" where you can read about our experiences that these attractions like Fuengirola Zoo, Tivoli World Selwo Estepona Selwo Marina and at the Andaluz Donkey breeding sanctuary in Estepona. One of the latest personal reviews is of San Pedro Circus.
My Favourite of all the Costa Del Sol theme parks! It reminds me of Jurassic Park, large open sided lorries drive you through the various animal enclosures and up into the hills above Estepona.
There are elephants, bears, hippos and so much more to see. In the summer cover up as its very hot and not much shelter. Wear sensible shoes. There is also a small farm area where you can see the video below. You can read our day out at Selwo Estepona Here
