Terra Natura Murcia

Terra Natura Murcia is a new-generation wildlife park where you can discover the “Zooimmersion” experience – a new concept in habitat design which will enable you to come into contact with the animals as if there were no barriers between you – at least, no visible ones!

The 165,445 m² of the Murcia park are divided into two themed areas: the African Savannah and the Iberian Peninsula.

At Terra Natura Murcia you can see more than 300 animals from 50 different species, three of which are in serious danger of extinction, plus over 500 examples of more than 50 species of trees, shrubs and ground cover plants from these regions.

As well as the hugely varied collection of wildlife, our educational information (through placards with biological details and information points), the architectural theming and the range of shows, entertainment and adventure activities make Terra Natura Murcia the number one choice for families looking to spend an interesting and entertaining day in a natural setting.

With its zoological collection, fantastic shows and wonderful landscaping and architecture, Terra Natura Murcia is one of the absolute ‘musts’ for anyone visiting Murcia and the Costa Calida, as well as residents of the regions of Murcia, Almeria, Alicante and Castile-La Mancha.
