June 25-Sept 5 Terra Natura Murcia's action-packed holiday clubs for kids and teens
Adventure, animals, water fun and learning all in one – discover the coolest way for your children to spend the summer in Murcia!
Looking for a summer club in Murcia that keeps your kids active, entertained and learning too? Terra Natura Murcia has just opened registration for its exciting summer holiday school and teen campus, offering a fun-filled, educational experience for young people aged 3 to 16.The popular wildlife and water park is once again transforming into a place of discovery and adventure from June 25 to September 5, with two specially designed programmes: one for younger children and another for teenagers, both packed with hands-on activities, creative workshops, games and plenty of time outdoors.
For younger explorers: 'A Safari Around the World'
Children aged 3 to 12 can join the summer school under the theme ‘A Safari Around the World’. Each day brings something new, combining play and learning in a way that keeps little ones engaged, curious and full of energy.
Expect:
- Outdoor games and group fun
- Creative workshops
- Plenty of water-based activities to cool off
- Up-close experiences with real animals
It’s not just about fun, though. The programme also helps children learn about nature, animal care and the environment, all while supporting families who need flexible childcare during the summer holidays.
For teens: creative, social and full of energy
For young people aged 12 to 16, the teen campus offers a different kind of experience — a chance to be active, make friends and enjoy summer on their terms. Running from 30 June to 1 August, the campus is a great way to help teens stay engaged and off screens (at least for a few hours a day!).
Highlights include:
- Sports and outdoor activities
- Workshops designed around teen interests
- Group challenges that build teamwork and confidence
- Water fun in the park’s aquatic zone
Run by trained educators and featuring exotic visitors
Both clubs are led by experienced staff with a background in education, ensuring a safe, structured environment. And each week, children and teens will enjoy a special visit from Terra Natura’s exotic birds team, who give short, engaging talks on caring for unusual animals and the risks of keeping them as pets.

Terra Natura Murcia, wildlife and adventure water park in the outskirts of the city of Murcia
Terra Natura Murcia is one of the most important and spectacular animal and nature parks in western Spain, and is one of a new generation of wildlife parks in which visitors can discover the concept of what's called "Zooinmersión."
The aim of this is recreate a habitat which gives an experience of being at one with the wildlife viewed in the park, so to this end more than 500 examples of 50 species of vegetation have been interplanted among the animal habitats, spread across an area occupying more than 165,000 square metres.
The planting has matured to create a comfortable and interesting environment which enhances the interaction between visitors and animals.
The planting not only softens the landscape, but also enables visitors to be closer to the animals and have direct human contact rather than the traditional forms of wildlife park where the animals are at a distance behind physical barriers.
The park contains over 500 animals belonging to 50 different species (some of which are in grave danger of extinction), alongside giraffes, lions, hippopotamus, lemurs, brown bears, Iberian lynx, Oryx, Iberian wolves and a White African Rhinoceros.
Throughout the year, Terra Natura Murcia offers different educational talks during visits to their facilities: giraffes, brown bears and otters.
One of the most popular areas is the falconry zone, where the displays enable visitors to discover the beauty of a great variety of birds such as the majestic flight of the peregrine falcon, which reaches diving speeds of over 300 km an hour, the eagle owl, various types of hawk, the griffon vulture and the buzzard eagle. One of the main aims of the park is to encourage contact and engage in interaction between animals and humans, and the falconry is a popular means of achieving this goal.
Among the mammals are Iberian and European Lynx, Mouflon and Coatis.
Aqua Natura Water park
During the summer Terra Natura opens Aqua Natura, the only water park in the Region of Murcia.
This is a refreshing and enjoyable way to cool down in the heat of summer, with swimming pools for adults and children, slides and shoots, kamikazes, lazy river, entertainment and games for youngsters, all within just a short distance of the centre of the city of Murcia.
