A family of four with two children aged 3 to 9 pays €105 at the gate of Bioparc Fuengirola. Bioparc Fuengirola is a zoo in the centre of Fuengirola, 600 metres from the last stop of the commuter line from Malaga. That walk is why the day works without a car.
How do you get to Bioparc Fuengirola from Malaga? By train with no changes: Fuengirola is the last stop on the C-1 commuter line from Malaga city and the airport, and the park puts its entrance 600 metres from that station. A general day ticket costs €29.50 and €23 for children aged 3 to 9 and over-65s, and it admits you once.
Rates are one euro cheaper booked online at least 24 hours ahead, and the ticket admits you to the park once, which rules out walking into town for lunch and coming back. The adult rate is €29.50, the Bive pass costs €45.60 and works Monday to Friday only, and the annual pass adds €1.50 in handling plus €1 for the BIOPARC Foundation.
The prices, and the two conditions attached
| Ticket | Groups of 20+ | Day rate |
|---|---|---|
| Under 3 | Free | Free |
| Visitor with a disability | €14.50 | €16.00 |
| Over 65 | €20.50 | €23.00 |
| Child, 3 to 9 | €20.50 | €23.00 |
| General | €25.20 | €29.50 |
Two conditions sit on the same page and both change the sum. Rates are one euro cheaper booked online at least 24 hours ahead. And the ticket admits you to the park once, which rules out the classic move of walking into town for lunch and coming back. The adult rate is €29.50, the Bive pass costs €45.60 and works Monday to Friday only, and the annual pass carries €1.50 in handling plus €1 for the BIOPARC Foundation. Summer nights run until 11pm, with a Thursday show at 10pm from 23 July priced at €12.
The annual passes
Two passes are sold and the difference between them is the calendar rather than the price. The B! annual pass costs €72.50 on the general rate, plus €1.50 in handling and €1 for the BIOPARC Foundation. The Bive pass costs €45.60 and admits Monday to Friday only.
On the B!, the child and over-65 rates drop to €54, and the disability rates run from €58 general to €43.20 for the child and senior versions. Against a €29.50 day ticket, the B! pays for itself on the third visit.
Summer nights, and a ticket that is not a ticket
In summer the park advertises evenings open until 11pm and, from 23 July, a show every Thursday at 10pm.
That evening admission costs €12, or €10.80 for holders of the B! annual pass, and carries a limit worth reading twice: it gives access to the show only and does not include a visit to the rest of the park. It can be bought online, at the physical ticket office or at the entrance to the show itself, and places are limited.
General opening hours do not appear here because the park’s own hours page returns no readable content, so what is published is only what the homepage states for those summer evenings.
The train does the work
Fuengirola is the final stop of the C-1 commuter line, the one that runs from central Malaga and the airport, so the trip needs no change. The park puts the walk at 600 metres from the Cercanías Málaga station in Fuengirola, southwest along paseo Jesús Santos Rein towards calle Camilo José Cela.
The bus station is 700 metres away by the same route. The park itself sits next to Fuengirola town hall, five minutes from the beach and fifteen minutes on foot from Sohail Castle, which is why a day here rarely needs anything with wheels. Drivers get the N-340, exit 1016.
How the line works, and what a ticket costs, is set out in Malaga’s cercanías trains and in the western coast by train.
Where it fits in a Malaga trip
It is a full-day plan, and with under-3s free and children at €23 it sits alongside what Malaga with kids sets out. The beach five minutes away covers the second half of an afternoon without another ticket, and the rest of the coast is in Malaga’s beaches.
Budget it on its own line, because €29.50 a head is not a municipal museum price, as what a trip to Malaga costs makes plain. The rest of the options are in day trips from Malaga.
Frequently asked questions about Bioparc Fuengirola
How do you get to Bioparc Fuengirola from Malaga?
By train, with no changes. Fuengirola is the last stop on the C-1 commuter line from Malaga city and the airport, and the park states that its entrance sits 600 metres from that station.
How much does Bioparc Fuengirola cost?
A general day ticket is €29.50. Children aged 3 to 9 and over-65s pay €23, visitors with a disability pay €16 and under-3s go free. Buying online at least 24 hours ahead takes a euro off each rate.
Can you leave Bioparc Fuengirola and come back in?
No. The park states that the ticket admits you to the site once, so lunch either happens inside or the visit ends when you walk out towards the beach, which is five minutes away.
Is the annual pass worth it?
It depends on how often you go. The B! pass costs €72.50 plus €1.50 handling and €1 for the BIOPARC Foundation, so it pays for itself on the third visit against a €29.50 day ticket. The cheaper Bive pass, at €45.60, only admits Monday to Friday.
What else is near Bioparc Fuengirola?
The beach is five minutes away on foot and Sohail Castle fifteen. The bus station is 700 metres from the gate, so a day here can be built entirely on foot once the train has done the work.
A zoo at the end of a commuter line is a logistical oddity. The price is where the oddity is paid for.
