Well worth a visit. The staff are helpful and friendly. Although small it is well worth a visit the penguin enclosure is an experience especially as the penguins are housed in an igloo . We watched the very funny animated dolphin and sea-lion show the kids loved it so we watched it twice. We payed extra to interact with the... More

What an experience, the park isn't big but managed to spend the whole day there. We watched the shows more than once and they altered a bit each time for the dolphin and sealion shows. The bird show was amazing as well. We paid for the extra experiences as well, luckily the dolphin encounter was 2 for 1 which gave... More

The park is very small. We missed the dolphin show when we arrived and there wasn't another one for 3 hours. We queued to get into the monkey enclosure only to have people push in front of us so we had to wait. The keeper was meant to give us a talk but spoke to our group only in Spanish... More

It's at the top of Paloma Park, across road up on the far left, plenty of free parking. Good discounts for some car hire companies Marbesol for... More

This is a nice, fun little "park" with 3 key shows - seal & dolphin, colourful birds and penguin feeding time. My favourite was the bird show ... I was in awe of the magnificent colours of the exotic birds. Around the park there are kiosks which sell snacks & ice creams, play areas for children and you'd also stumble... More

We spent a couple of hours here, the bird show was very good & if you go don't miss the dolphin show, its excelent! Look out for the discount vouchers for €3 off per person.

It cost about 18 Euros but if you visit one of the money exchange booths and pick up a Selwo leaflet it offers you a 3 Euros discount per person, a big saving, the leaflets are available all over Benalmadena. The dolphin show is veryu good and entertaining.
