Attica Zoological Park
Open every day
A 200-stremma wildlife park near the airport: elephants, cheetahs, lemurs and 1,600 animals.
About Attica Zoological Park
What began in May 2000 as a bird park beside the Spata outlet village has grown into a 200-stremma zoological park with more than 1,600 animals from 240 species, from Asian elephants and Persian leopards to white rhinos, Komodo dragons and a walk-through lemur forest. It opens every day of the year from 9am until sunset, with the gates closing an hour before dusk. Plan the day around the keepers’ feeds and talks: the lemurs at 12.45pm, the chimpanzees at 1.45pm, the African penguins at 2pm and the elephants (weekends only) at 12.30pm. Our advice: buy e-tickets on the park’s site, come in the morning before the heat, and pair it in summer with Aquapolis, the water park next door, on a combined ticket.
