Rio Safari Park, one of the famous tourist attractions in Alicante close to Elche, had a wonderful day reserved for us. It was going to be a wonderful day. I have not seen camel rides in abounding years and in the mean time, we could enjoy ourselves in the pond pool and water gulch. Also, there was a restaurant and a playground and all of them were accessible in front of the entrance. I suggest that you select clothes carefully because the climate is very hot. While other visitors strip off to their apparels and bikinis at the safari park, I found it awkward. A long day without sun cream would be difficult with very few shady places.\u00a0 Nowadays there is not plenty of freedom at the Elche Safari Park like before. Before, you could feed peanuts and carrots to animals and children were very delighted to do it. For me, it was all positive. The park had the best of animals you could look for. It included: Antelope Buffalo Chimps Crocodiles Camels Deer Donkeys Elephants Emus Fish Giraffes Hippo Jaguars Lions Llamas Monkeys Ostriches Parrots Reptiles Tigers Animals in the enclosure seemed to be comfortable and did seem to be well supervised. It is absolutely needed to wear cutting comfortable shoes as you will do plenty of walking end-to-end. All of the exhibits were gratifying in the safari park and we visited most of them. Our son who is 2 years old found the parrot most outstanding. He was laughing hard at the sight of the parrot performing stunts. It could ride a bike, roll over, play dead and even played basketball. Also, the elephants thoroughly amused spectators with water blowing and I caution you not to stand near the elephant unless you want to get all wet. The food was average at decent price. The temperature was in thirties so we enjoyed ourselves with loads of ice creams and refreshments. To tell the truth, I bet we only had a bag of fries. Then we stopped on our way back to Alicante in Santa Pola to grab a bite at McDonalds. At the end of the day we enjoyed the Safari train ride around the zoo driving in and out of the animal envelopment area. The cool breeze eased our exhaustion. Our entire family recommends people of all ages to take a trip to Alicante. We had a great day and it was fun.
