March 30-April 10 Terra Natura Murcia launches Spring School 2026
Children aged 3-12 become planet guardians with animal adventures over Easter week and beyond at the Murcia wildlife park
Fancy giving the kids an Easter holiday treat? Terra Natura Murcia has just opened bookings for its Spring School 2026, covering Easter week and beyond from Monday March 30 to Friday April 10 (skipping April 2, 3 and 7). It's a great way for children aged 3 to 12 to spend time in nature, meet animals up close and pick up some real-world lessons about looking after our planet.This popular wildlife park on the edge of Murcia isn't just about seeing giraffes and lions. For these Easter holidays, it transforms into an adventure base where kids step up as "Guardians of the Planet 2030". They'll tackle missions around the park, join team games and get creative with workshops, all inspired by the animals living there. It's hands-on stuff that builds respect for nature and a bit of teamwork too.
What's on during Spring School
Every day brings fresh challenges designed to keep young minds busy and bodies active. Here's a flavour of the activities:
- Park missions exploring habitats, climate and wildlife while visiting the animals
- Creative recycling workshops turning everyday materials into animal crafts
- Art sessions with murals and painting drawn from nature and conservation themes
- Gymkhanas and cooperative games to encourage working together
- A grand final challenge where everyone earns their "Guardian" diploma
Sessions fit around family schedules:
- Wake-up service from 7.30am to 9am
- Morning school 9am to 2pm
- Wait for me service 2pm to 3.15pm
You can book individual days, full weeks or the whole period. Just bring comfy clothes, trainers, a hat, lunch, water and the odd recycled item for crafts. The team handles insurance and first aid, with experienced guides keeping everything safe and engaging.
Why it's perfect for Murcia families
Terra Natura Murcia knows how to blend education with enjoyment. This Spring School gives children a chance to roam the park, solve eco-puzzles and connect with animals in a way classrooms can't match. Parents love it because it's flexible and the kids come home tired but happy, full of stories about their adventures.

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.
