Crocopark in Agadir 

For those who love to go to the Zoo to see animals, a great activity they can have in Agadir is to visit the Crocopark. This park is home to over 300 crocodiles and other reptiles (iguanas, snakes, etc.) as well as giant tortoises. There is also a botanical garden with plant species from all over the world. We thought we wouldn’t be there for more than an hour, but actually we were there for a little over two hours. The park is very well maintained and makes you want to visit right from the entrance, there is a snake den with a very scary anaconda! There is also a lab where you can see (through glass) baby crocodiles and turtles. If you visit the iguana area outside, you’ll think you’re in the United States because it has everything you need. The only slight problem is that there are a lot of crocodiles and they seem to climb over each other; for visitors it may seems strange but for those who are working there it’s normal.
