Zoomarine Algarve, Portugal

Guia, Portugal, Portugal

---

Zoomarine Algarve is a large marine‑themed park in Guia, just outside Albufeira in the Algarve region of Portugal, combining a water park, animal‑show venue, and small zoo‑style exhibits. Opened in 1991, it covers around 18 hectares and is one of the most visited family attractions in southern Portugal, featuring dolphin and sea‑lion shows, a shark and tropical‑fish aquarium, bird‑of‑prey and tropical‑bird shows, and a 4D cinema, along with pools, slides, a wave pool considered Portugal’s largest, and a small “Zoomarine Beach” area for swimming and relaxation. The park positions itself as both an entertainment and conservation‑education destination, offering animal‑interaction programs such as supervised dolphin‑swim experiences and themed rides, making it a full‑day outing for families looking to mix water fun, live shows, and marine‑life awareness in one Algarve location.
