Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park — Zoo in Gibraltar

Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park and its collection

Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park, opened in 2002, is a zoo in Gibraltar, United Kingdom.

History

It started in 1994 with parrots, tortoises and monkeys seized from smugglers passing through, which customs officers handed to GONHS. In 1996 volunteers converted a long-neglected miniature golf course into the park.

Animals and collection

Mammals include three species of macaque along with cotton-top tamarin and small-clawed otter. The bird collection is weighted towards parrots, among them conures, amazons and lories.

What the venue says

• lemur-feeding encounter
• While there aren't heavy dining facilities directly inside the small wildlife park itself, the surrounding Alameda Botanic Gardens and nearby town center areas offer plenty of benches, and a variety of cafes and restaurants are just a short walk away.
• Street parking and nearby designated parking spaces around the southern district and botanical gardens are available, though spaces can fill up quickly during peak hours.
• generally designed to be manageable for visitors, though pathways weaving through the botanical gardens can feature slight slopes and natural terrain typical of the area
