    While most reviews are positive, some visitors mention that the park is relatively small compared to larger zoos. This can be seen as an advantage for those who prefer a more intimate setting, but it may disappoint visitors expecting a full-day attraction. A few reviewers also note that some enclosures could benefit from updates or expansions.

    The park's location offers beautiful views of the surrounding area, adding to the overall experience. However, its hillside setting means there are some steep paths, which might be challenging for visitors with mobility issues.

    In summary, Maroparque Island of La Palma provides a pleasant and educational experience for animal lovers and families. Its strengths lie in its diverse animal collection, interactive elements, and dedication to conservation.
