Zoomarine Overview
Zoomarine is one of the Algarve´s biggest attractions and certainly lives up to the hype. Open all year round, entry tickets are very reasonably priced, and you can spend a fun packed day at the park with plenty to keep all the family entertained.

The spectacular shows include:

Dolphins in Motion - a breath-taking demonstration of the dolphins’ agility, intelligence and the special bond they have with their trainers. I could have watched this show several times over, especially as the routine varies from show to show to keep the dolphins stimulated.

The Magic Book - a pantomime performed by seals, sea lions and their trainers, loosely based on Peter Pan.This show gets lots of laughs and applause from the audience and is definitely one that the kids will enjoy.

The Enchanted Forest - a slap stick show with tropical birds that promotes environmental awareness.

Sweeping the Skies - a dramatic and educational birds of prey display, which allows you to see these impressive birds very close up!



There is also an Aquarium, showing over 20 marine ecosystems, and several marine life habitat exhibitions scattered around the park.

Our favourite at the moment, is the 4D cinema show. Aimed at raising our environmental awareness, this show is an entertaining assault on our senses. Poloar bears sliding down glaciers, monkeys throwing apples at you, sharks with their teeth bared swimming towards you - fantastic!

What impresses most about Zoomarine, is that all the animal shows and exhibitions are educational and promote awareness of environmental and conservation issues. There is also a newly built Rehabilitation Centre. Marine species that have washed up along the Algarve coastline in distress are treated here before, hopefully, being released back into their natural environment.

If all that isn´t enough, there are family fairground rides, including the big wheel, which gives a spectacular view of the whole park, a mini rollercoaster ans some water slides. The park has good access for wheelchairs and buggies, so is definitely enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

For a once in a lifetime experience, there is also the opportunity to swim with the dolphins in the dolphin interaction area. This is located in a tranquil environment, hidden away from the main park and the programme includes an educational talk and the chance to take part in some of the basic training techniques in the water with the dolphins. This is a truly magical experience - although expensive, the contact with the dolphins and the memories you take away are priceless.
