The park is situated approximately 10 kilometres north of the popular tourist beaches and dunes of Maspalomas.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Palmitos Park, located in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Spain, is a botanical and zoological park that offers visitors a diverse array of flora and fauna. The park features a variety of attractions, including a dolphinarium, an aviary with bird shows, and sections dedicated to butterflies, reptiles, and orchids. Many visitors appreciate the well-maintained grounds and the opportunity to see a wide range of animals, particularly the dolphins and birds of prey. The park's location in a picturesque valley adds to its appeal, providing a pleasant backdrop for a day out.

    However, some visitors have noted that the park can be quite busy, especially during peak tourist seasons, which may impact the overall experience. The steep terrain of the park can also be challenging for some visitors, particularly those with mobility issues. While many find the animal shows entertaining, there are concerns from some about the ethics of keeping animals, especially dolphins, in captivity for entertainment purposes.

    The entrance fee is considered by some to be on the higher side, though many feel it's justified by the variety of attractions and the full day of activities the park offers. It's advisable to bring water and wear comfortable shoes due to the park's layout and the Gran Canaria climate.

    Overall, Palmitos Park offers an engaging experience for those interested in wildlife and botanical gardens, but visitors should be prepared for a potentially crowded environment and consider their physical capabilities when planning their visit.
