Went on holiday in Puerto de la Cruz a few weeks ago and saw adverts for Loro Parque (which stands for parrot park) everywhere so thought it was worth a visit although we were a bit sceptical because we thought it would be just parrots. However we were Pleasently suprised! There were all different kinds of animals (rather like a zoo) including 4 different shows. There was an excellent donphin and sealion shows which were exceptional , there was a parrot show in which parrots do tricks and fly around above your head, and a cinema show about nature (not so spectacular).
Tickets were 24 EUR (about £17) for adults and were available from our hotel which meant when we walked into the parque we jumped the queue and went straight in! On the way in they give you a map in your language and take your picture with parrots (which you could buy later for 6EUR (£4) on your way out. It took us about 6 hours to see everything without stalling or repeating any part. There are several really good food places and loads of souvenier shops.
Theres an aquarium with sharks and some amazing tropical fish. One of my favourite attractions (behinf the dolphin show and the sealion show) was the penguin environment. Theres a whole building which is dedicated to recreating the natural living environment of the penguins which was pretty cool! (0 deegree to be exact!) There is a free bus/roadtrain from various points in puerto de la cruz.
The only thing i would say against this park is that its in the north and the weather is quite unpredictable so dont be expecting piercing sun all the time!
On the whole was an excellent day out and well worth the £17!
