Education is one of the most powerful tools to shape a better future. At our parks, learning does not stop at the classroom door: it comes to life through experience, curiosity, and real connection with the world around us.

Every year, thousands of children, students, and educators visit our parks not only to enjoy a memorable day, but to learn. They learn about wildlife and conservation, about science and safety, about responsibility towards the planet and the communities we live in. Because when learning is lived, it stays with you.

In our animal parks in particular, education plays a central role. Through carefully designed educational journeys, school programs and guided experiences, visitors discover the importance of biodiversity, animal welfare and conservation. These experiences are designed to inspire respect, awareness and long-term commitment to protecting our planet.

Beyond schools and families, our parks also collaborate with universities and professional institutions. We host educational programs for veterinary schools and scientific communities, providing students with real-world exposure, knowledge sharing, and hands-on learning opportunities that complement academic training.

Education at our parks also extends to broader social themes. Throughout the year, we celebrate and promote initiatives such as Physics Days and other educational milestones on topics that matter for society and everyday life.

Behind every educational experience at our parks, there are people who turn knowledge into connection, curiosity into action, and visits into lifelong memories.

Across our animal parks, aquariums and attractions, our education teams design learning journeys that go far beyond information. They spark questions, encourage responsibility and help visitors see the world and their role in it differently.

To bring this commitment to life, we spoke with some of the faces who lead these experiences every day at Parques Reunidos.

Because education empowers people. It builds awareness, fuels innovation and strengthens our ability to care for our guests, our teams, our animals, and our planet.

On International Education Day, we celebrate learning in all its forms; the kind that informs, the kind that inspires, and the kind that leaves a lasting mark.·
