Why visit
- Crocoparc is the only crocodile zoo in Morocco — 325 Nile crocodiles in a 4-hectare botanical garden, with a glass tunnel, lakes, and side enclosures for sulcata tortoises, anacondas and pythons.
Crocoparc Agadir
Agadir
Opened in May 2015 in Drarga, 15 minutes north of central Agadir, Crocoparc is the only crocodile zoo in Morocco. The 4-hectare site holds 325 Nile crocodiles, plus sulcata tortoises, green iguanas, anacondas, pythons and marmosets, set in a tropical botanical garden along the Marrakech-Agadir N8.
What to expect
- A two- to three-hour walk through five themed garden zones, with viewing decks over the crocodile lakes and a glass tunnel that runs underneath one of the basins. A zipline crosses parts of the site.
Best time
- Mornings and late afternoons are coolest and least crowded. In winter the crocodiles bask visibly out of the water around 10:00 and 14:00 — the best photo windows.
How to combine
- Easy add-on to a Paradise Valley or Imouzzer day from Agadir — both lie north on the same axis. Or pair with Souk El Had on the way back into town.
Price range
- Not free: Crocoparc charges 100 Dh for adults and 70 Dh for children aged 3 to 12, as published by the park itself.
- It opens every day from 10:00 to 20:00, with the ticket office closing 30 minutes before the park. During Ramadan it runs 10:00 to 17:00.
- An annual VIP card, issued with a photograph, costs 199 Dh for an adult and 149 Dh for a child and gives unlimited access for a year — worth it from a second visit onwards, which is a real consideration for anyone staying a season in Agadir.
- The ticket covers the whole park, including the five botanical gardens. Getting to Drarga is the extra cost: it sits on the RN8 outside the city, so budget a taxi, a hotel shuttle, or the ALSA city bus.
