You will also be given a map of the site and a schedule of the various exhibition shows. It is advisable to spend a few moments planning a sequence to follow so that you can maximise your time there.
The current schedule is as follows:

To really enjoy your visit to Marbella, why not stay in our luxury beachside rental apartment in the prestigious El Presidente complex?

With its exceptional spaciousness, quality and comfort, five swimming pools (one is heated), tennis and golf practice courts, wonderful surroundings, beautiful gardens and fountains, children's play areas, fantastic location 200 metres from the beach and excellent nearby bars, chiringuitos and restaurants -
there's no better place on the Costa del Sol!

To the left of the entrance are the main pools where you can see the dolphins and sea lions, next to that and opposite the entrance is the open-air theatre where the shows with the exotic birds and the snakes take place.

Adjacent to this is a very well designed children’s play area with underground slides, tunnels, caves, climbing frames and overhead walkways. To the right of the site are the penguinarium, touch pools and virtual reality areas. There is also a new area focusing on the habitat of the tropical jungles of Amazonia with dwarf crocodiles!

The main pool has banked seating providing excellent viewing of both above and below the surface of the water area of the main pool. An extensive roof canopy also shades much of it. The shows themselves are great fun to watch and particularly entertaining for children, and feature dolphins and sea lions that appear to be very well looked after.

Children over the age of 7 can also experience something particularly memorable (up to the end of September) as they can swim with the sea-lions.

As you can see in the picture to the left, children have the wonderful opportunity to be propelled through the water by a sea-lion pushing them with their nose!

If you want your children to try this don't forgot to bring a swimming costume and towel.

Just behind this is the Virtual Reality area, which has a 3-D cartoon film in a small theatre about the adventures of a futuristic Captain William Frost. Of course it entails wearing strange glasses but it is fun! The shows alternate between those with English and Spanish commentary.

Also in the same building are special individual “craft” that you sit in, put on special three-dimensional goggles that help you to manoeuvre your craft through a virtual reality adventure – the “craft” also moves as you manipulate the joystick!

It is a good idea to choose a time to visit the penguins in their enclosed penguinarium, "Ice Island", to coincide with one of their feeding times, as the bi-lingual commentary from the keeper is very interesting.

The touch pools just outside have a variety of fish, including stingrays, swimming around.

The current entrance price is 16.00 euros for adults and 11.90 euros for children aged 3 to 7 and senior citizens. Children under the age of 2 are free.

A good alternative would be for you to purchase a combined ticket for Selwo Aventura, Selwo Marina and the Telecabina and consequently make a saving of 40%. As all three are worth visiting (the latter can also be combined with a separate visit to Tivoli World as they are next to each other) it is at least worth considering. The current price for this combined ticket is 31 euros for adults and 22 euros for children aged 3 to 7.

Selwo Marina is definitely worth a visit for both children and adults although admittedly it is really the former group who will particularly enjoy the experience.

There is plenty of parking available just outside although do note that you cannot re-enter the site once you leave.
