Hi

Does anyone know if the Rio safari park at Elche is still open?

Quesada

I hope not, went once it was the most depressing place I have ever been to, should have been closed down years ago and the animals all put in to care.

Yes its open.. I went 3 years ago and found it to be very run down .. Terra Natura would be my 1st choice .. However if you do opt for elche .. mcdonalds do saving vouchers x

We went there earlier in the year and certainly it isn't of Woburn or Longleat standard; and it was expensive to get in. But I thought the animals were well cared for in general, though the parrots were very scruffy and that can be a sign of stress. If you go, I'd advise taking a picnic as the food is quite expensive and fairly average! Ask for discounts if you're pensioners.

Hi i heard the blanket trips do a trip to a similar safari park but nit Elche and the guy i spoke to says its great as you can get up close to the animals and have your photo took unlike Elche but tbh i havent been to either yet but definitely interested int he blanket trip one- this one trip you do pay for though.
