It’s almost that time of year again when the Terra Natura zoo and park in Murcia opens one of its star attractions – the Waterpark. Terra Natura’s aquatic theme park Aqua Natura has been a family favourite for years, and is the perfect place for families, children and thrillseekers of all ages to spend the summer.

 

As the number 1 water theme park in Murcia, there are loads of rides and attractions at Aqua Natura, enough to spend an entire day there and still be left wanting to come back!

 

 

Aqua Natura is so popular with families who return year after year partly thanks to its flumes and water slides. For anyone measuring over 1.2 metres, there is the ‘Black Hole’, ‘Speed Hole’ and ‘Kamikaze’, as well as the ever-popular racer slides.

 

There is also a Splash Park and a Big Bucket pool for smaller children to play in, and there is a very shallow pool for children under 3 too, while a float down the lazy river in the perfect attraction for anyone.

 

 

At lunchtime, you can pop into any of Terra Natura’s three restaurants – the Restaurante Carnivore, the Lunatic Express Pub & Lounge and El chiringuito de Humedal – where you will find something for everyone to make the most of a full day out at the park this summer.

 

For a smaller snack or refreshment, you can head to the Kiwengwa Self Service station, the Isla de Mnemba Bar & Terrace, with its shaded outdoor seating area, or the Jetty Bar & Terraza right next to the swimming pools.

 

 

This year, the Terra Natura Waterpark opens on Saturday May 24, 2025 and is open all summer long.

 

What many summer visitors don’t realise is that Terra Natura is actually open all year round, or the zoo part is, at least. You can see the animals at the Murcia zoo at any time of year, and there are always themed events and activities for children and adults taking place throughout the year.

 

In summer, you can buy a combined ticket to visit the Waterpark and Zoo at Terra Natura for a complete day out of fun.

 

To see prices and buy tickets in advance for the Waterpark and Zoo, go to the Terra Natura website. Alternatively, you can purchase tickets at the ticket office on the day of your visit, but it is advisable to book ahead in the busy summer months.
