If you're looking for a family day out that mixes learning with a bit of creative fun, Terra Natura Murcia has just the thing. This popular Murcia nature park, home to animals from around the world in habitats that mimic their natural homes, is marking International Zebra Day tomorrow, Saturday January 31.

 

Expect a lineup of activities for all ages designed to shine a light on these striking African stripy wonders.

 

Park director Gustavo Martínez puts it perfectly: "These kinds of days allow us to offer visitors a closer and more participatory experience, where they not only enjoy this environment but also better understand how animals live and why it is important to protect them." It's all about making conservation feel personal and exciting, using special calendar dates to spark interest in biodiversity and animal respect.

 

Kids (and let's face it, adults too) will love the face painting workshop, where you can transform into a zebra. There are also hands-on crafts, like hand painting and building your own zebra model from all sorts of materials. These on-site games and educational bits aim to help everyone learn more about the species in a relaxed, enjoyable way.

 

Not heading to the park? No problem. Terra Natura Murcia's social media will buzz with zebra facts, fun quizzes, and a raffle for four tickets plus a cuddly plush toy. Just follow along and join in if you fancy a chance to win.

 

Zebras have been part of the park since day one, and right now there's a grown female and her lively two-year-old foal sharing a multi-species enclosure. They hang out with wildebeest, oryx, ostriches, and kob, creating a lively setup that mirrors their African plains habitat. This natural grouping keeps everyone happy and active, just as they would be in the wild.

 

Events like this show why Terra Natura Murcia stands out. It's not just a zoo; it's a place that brings people and wildlife together through smart, engaging initiatives. Whether you're a local or visiting the region, why not head over tomorrow and see those stripes up close? You won't regret it.

 

 

All tickets can be purchased online in advance on the Terra Natura website, or at the ticket office on the day of your visit.
