5.0 based on 3,418 reviews
Aquaworld - Crete's first Aquarium - opened in Hersonissos in 1995 - near Bus Stop 20. It features local sea life and reptiles from Crete and from all around the world. Most of the animals are rescued or are unwanted pets which have found a new home at Aquaworld. Our philosophy is simple - bring people and animals closer together and, inevitably, people will begin to respect and care more about the animals! YOU MUST WEAR MASKS TO VISIT!

Easy to find and in walking distance from my hotel the palmera hotel. Friendly and informative staff. Aquarium small but well kept. Reptile area very good and staff very helpful. Was also able to hold a snake. Well worth a visit for 8 euro. I would definitely recommend

Is the best zoo in Greece and for what is offering to its visitors the orice for the ticket is very good. You are able to see all the animals, take beautiful pictures and in some cases you can walk among them. The show with the dolphins is priceless. The staff shows real interest and love to the animals. You could see their reactions with the dolphins. The park is really huge. It has sitting areas scattered around. It took us 4 hours to see everything and read about each animal. It also has playground for the kids and a cafe where you can eat something. I fully recommend it!!!!!!

Animal Park specialized in upkeep of endangered parrots.
Reviewed By senorblunders - Vale of Glamorgan, United Kingdom
This is a pretty little zoo containing mainly parrots and some pretty monkeys and goats. It’s well-kept and there is a very relaxed and slow vibe - so quite nice to spend an hour there. And there’s a breezy snack bar with hammock chairs. BUT, you’ll also get the opportunity at 1pm to feed the macaques and the lemurs. The lemurs will jump on your shoulders and rummage in your fruit pot for banana and other treats. Your face will be a picture. They are the gentlest and softest creatures, and they currently have little babies that you can also feed. If you listen carefully to the keepers’ instructions and follow them, you’ll have a blissful half hour with these gorgeous creatures. I’ll never forget it.

We had a fantastic couple of hours here with our little boy (17 months) at this recently opened attraction. He absolutely loved looking at all the animals, especially the tropical birds and the ducks in the pond. There is a great selection of animals although they are more farmyard than zoological with sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, ponies, dogs, geese, ducks, rabbits, and deer. There are some tropical birds and tortoises though and the Odyssey exhibits are great. The Cyclops perhaps too realistic, my little boy was scared of it! There is a lovely little cafe at the top of the hill with lovely views serving a selection of drinks and snacks. We had the cheese pie which was delicious! The highlight of the visit was discovering one of the tortoises had escaped his enclosure ! The staff advised by husband to pick him up and put him back with his friends, apparently he is quite the Houdini and does this all the time as he is so little he can fit through the fence! The paths are a little steep with a push chair but manageable. Well worth a visit! It also looks like they are still expanding the site and building new attractions!
