Snakeroom Serpentarium — Attraction in Fuengirola

What a great place to visit. To be honest, I had no previous particular liking of snakes, but my whole opinion has completely changed. What beautiful, peaceful creatures they are. My 7 year old daughter and I spent a good couple of hours spending time with the snakes, tortoises and other creatures. The young lady who explained everything to us spoke in Spanish and English. She was well informed, friendly and interesting. The animals there were well kept and looked after. The snakes that we handled were clearly used to it and were very comfortable being held. It is easily accessible and suitable for all ages, even the youngest of children were handling the snakes. The room itself is not massive but it is the interaction with the animals that makes this place special. For this reason, it is best to visit when it is not so busy, to get the most out of...

Owners are very knowledgeable and we managed to communicate barring the language barrier. There are a lot of snakes but the place is somewhat small.

It costs us 30 euros for a family of 4. We spent one hour there, talking a lot with the owner. Kids had a great time.
