    Fab full day. Worth the price
    Great marine park. There’s a full day of stuff to do here. We saw the dolphin, seal and pirate shows all were well put together. The pirates show especially was fantastic. There was a focus on conservation which was interesting. Several fairground rides and the water parks which consisted of 2 splash pools (one was closed as low season) a wave pool and several slides. There’s also an aquarium, a turtle pond, a butterfly house and a reptiles house. And a 4d cinema. We arrived at 1045 and left at 530, we didn’t get time for the butterfly or reptile house and we chose not to do the bird shows but saw/did everything else and it was all very good. The park is exceptionally clean , well maintained and lots of staff around for support. We ate at the food kiosk where there was burgers/pizza/sandwiches. The food was good and reasonably priced. My one quibble was that the splash parks had lots of sun loungers but it was a minimum of 10 euros to rent them which seemed expensive give the entrance fee. There was also not regular chairs. It was either sit in the floor or stand.

    Great Value For Money Day Out!
    Zoomarine Algarve represents great value for money! We did and saw everything in less than the time the park was open which was great as I worrying we'd miss out on some things!! The Dolphin show was the highlight for us, which we did upon entering the park at 11am. Only bad points were the foods not great so don't expect too much on that front, and the dolphin show was ok but every other show we saw- the English translation is muffled through the microphones so you can't really understand what they're saying which was a bit annoying. All in all, a great day out and worth the trip/money!

    Great day out
    Fantastic time here. We spent 2 days here over our 6 days holiday and i have to say im so glad we did. Zoo is spotlessly clean and full of information. Staff all very friendly and happy. Food prices were worth what we paid for. Burgers were lovely, Kids meals worth the money. The shows that or on are all great.

    Best Day Out
    This place is simply magnificent. We all loved our visit, so much so that we bought tickets while we was on park for a return visit the next day. The dolphin show is magical, so is the message about looking after our planet. The parrot show was also stunning. The big pool is amazing, along with the beach. The kids loved the rides and pirates. Can not recommend this place highly enough

    Great day out
    Took my 8 year old daughter while my husband and son played golf and had a really great day. The shows were amazing, all the facilities were clean and easy to find. We went on all the rides and my daughter swam in the big pool. It was too cold for me to attempt the water slides but they looked good. I’m not sure if my 13 year old would have been a bit bored and doubt he’d have wanted to spend an entire day here, but for younger kids it was perfect. The food was well priced and decent. It was the start of the season so wasn’t overly busy so didn’t have to queue for anything.

    Great Day
    Great day out. We were here from when it opened to when it closed. We were able to do a lot of the rides and pools and water rides. Shows were great and staff were lovely. Food was a bit hit and miss but I think technically we were here at off season or just at the start of the season so not everything was open. The dolphin experience was extra which we didn’t pay for as we had already paid quite a bit to get in. We enjoyed our day here a lot as did the kids (ages 13, 5 and 7 months) Would definitely recommend and come again.

    The BEST by far!
    Absolutely amazing place! So glad I took my children to this venue 😊 The buzz, the rides (that are included in entry price) so me need to pay for the rides once in the park. Everything about this place is great. The dolphin emotions is reasonably priced and a great experience if you can afford to do it. The Dolphin show and bird shows were great. I love how we are reminded to care for our planet prior to the shows. 🌎 🐬 🦅 The on site beach is just such a great feature. Lots of toilets dotted around and food stations. We spent the whole day here from 10:30 until 5:30. My children didn’t want to leave 🤣 Entry fees are reasonable approx £25 for adults and £18 for children and free to those under 1 metre. (Luckily for me my 4 year old is under 1 metre) Definitely worth a visit if you are in proximity.

    Outstanding. Pitched perfectly
    Outstanding. Pitched perfectly (2&5yo parents and grandparents). All rides are free once in. Great wildlife shows, just enough, not too much. Rides amazing for these ages and older. They have got it right, even the ice cream stalls don’t open until after lunch. super value although food and drinks/ice cream pricey once in but that’s to be expected. Well worth it and highly recommended.

    Awesome place loved it
    Must just say this place is great, so we have a 16 year old and a two year old. The whole experience is awesome the staff are great and the shows are awesome. My 16 year old did the ambassador dolphin and she wishes she had more time with the dolphin it was a take picture and next however still great for the price. Now I have a few special thanks tiago from aqua he ia one of the happiest people I have seen and just an awesome kid. Now my favourite show and people and in my opinion these guys deserve a massive praise and I hope they are paid for their talent. They are non the less the pirates these guys not only walk around the park interacting with the kids playing with them, one even does a pre show before the dolphin show (he is awesome) they also do a great show something amazing and skill, these guys literally put their lives on the risks and always stay in character. For my family these guys made our visit. Me and my son personally would watch them all day long. We did the two day visit and enjoyed this place so much. Great place keep it up guys You have some great staff there make sure you look after them

DON'T GO IN AUGUST!
During peak holiday season, Zoomarine is horrendously busy. It is not worth reviewing the attractions and planning your day as the queues make it impossible to do more than one or two attractions.
I am surprised they are allowed to let as many people into the park as they do with the car park heaving and queues over 1.5 hours for all rides and for lunch. The swimming pools were packed.
I will not be going back in peak holiday season - a waste of a day and children left feeling very disappointed.

Excellent day out, even though much of the park was closed as it was so late in the season. Place was spotlessly clean, staff were helpful and friendly. The bird show and dolphin show were the best I have seen. I appreciate the work that the park does for the environment and the rehabilitation of sick and injured animals. I will definitely return next time I come to the Algarve.

We visited here 13/10/23 and were very disappointed. Half of the park is closed off but yet still charged full amount. Only a handful of rides, it calls itself a zoo, I have more animals in my back yard. Have to rent sunbeds of €20 per bed per day. We was done in around 3 hours and were left very disappointed. The 2 shows we watched in the time we were here were good but I would not be visiting back.

We love zoomarine, but have to say the cost of things once you are inside is insane. €15 for 2 sunbeds. We only wanted to sit by the pool for a hour after lunch. €6 per photo of my daughter on the slide, food and drink prices are ridiculous. So please bare all that in mind if you are a first time visitor.
So, all that aside.... Zoomarine is a wonderful place, lots to see and do. With some really fantastic attractions. Personally we avoid the place at high season, far to busy for us. Would definitely recommend you book 2 days worth of tickets, second day is only €10

Been twice now, well worth it each time.👏🏻 Shows are great with added comedy to keep everyone laughing. Good valve for money, swimming and wave pool a big hit with kids. Wait for food at lunchtime only slight negative, overall very enjoyable 👌🏻

Went Zoomarine 6th October 2023 , So Firstly was about £22 each 3 Adults & 2 Children, couldn't believe the lockers were €5 each and €5 Deposit also I don't think €1 would have been so bad , we made do with 1 locker . Some of the Rides/Attractions were closed but I think should be open when you are visiting and paying, I think it's over rated and looks tired in places and is nothing special. The place is promoting conservation which is good, the Dolphin show started with a film on the big screen then the Dolphins were amazing. The Pool with sand and waves was good but again Sunbeds × 2 if you want were around €15 so more cost
The food Court cost €40 for food and Taxis cost €46 return so can get a expensive day out.

As always zoomarine was brilliant and if anything better than before. Great combination of activities and animal displays. The dolphin show was excellent and shows how much these guys care for the animals in their care. Unlike and UK theme park you don't get ripped off at the door and drink outlets.

Well worth a day trip, we paid for day 2.
Our kids are young 3& 5 and they had an absolute ball.
It is very well spread out. Went in on Saturday 30th (busy) and Wednesday 4th October (not busy *many rides close from 1st oct).
This place is well kitted out for all ages.
Bamboo buffet place was surprisingly good value and food too, which ate on second visit.
Little /no queues for kids rides under 5
Dolphin show worth the watch, didn’t think the seals was as entertaining.
If you went with no kids you could have a blast on the grownup stuff.
Lots of shops for cold drinks slushies Icecream etc
We hired sun beds by a pool but many people use the grassy area which is free.
Parking was easy and no charge.
Entry is no more than a zoo with much more outdoor fun for all.
*if you want a second day you pay €10 pp before you leave the park and they will finger print or give you an arm tag. You must renter within 10 days.
Under 1 metre does not pay for entry.

Park was great, had a fantastic day. Did a dolphin encounter premium package which was amazing but disappointed that there were 4 of us that went. We all paid separately but went as a group. We paid for pictures as per package but this is not what we all got! We all got 1 print and a certificate but only one of the group got digital prints and video. Very misleading and unhelpful staff at photo place when trying to get sorted. Which has ruined a fantastic 2days out
