Palmitos Park unveils an educational LED screen in the interactive exhibition area:
At Palmitos Park, we continue to add resources to ensure your visit is more comprehensive, more informative and brings you closer to nature. Behind the interactive exhibition area, we have installed an LED screen measuring 1 metre high by 4 metres long, designed to display educational content, practical information and messages relating to our day-to-day work.
This new educational LED screen at Palmitos Park reinforces an idea that has long been part of our project: learning can also be an enjoyable, visual and accessible experience for the whole family. If you’re planning a visit to the park, here we explain what this new resource is for and how it fits into our natural and educational leisure offering.
An educational LED screen at Palmitos Park designed to inform and educate
The new screen has been installed in the interactive exhibition area with a very specific aim: to provide useful information in a dynamic and easy-to-follow format. We want visitors to find, all in one place, content that complements their visit and helps them better understand what they are seeing.
This type of display allows us to present messages clearly and in a way that can be updated, which is particularly valuable in a zoo and botanical park such as Palmitos Park, where the experience changes throughout the day and where environmental education forms part of the visit.
• Educational information about the park and its surroundings.
• Opening hours and notices of interest to help visitors plan their visit more effectively.
• Content on environmental enrichment for the animals.
• Messages relating to conservation, biodiversity and environmental education.
The result is a more useful space for families, school groups, local residents and tourists who wish to make the most of their time at the park with a more comprehensive and responsible perspective.
Educational content for a more enriching visit
The content displayed can help to put what visitors see in the park into context, whether in relation to the animals, the botanical garden or the educational activities. It is not just about looking, but about gaining a better understanding of how the fauna, flora and care of the environment are interconnected.
This approach is particularly useful for those travelling with their families or with children, as it turns the visit into an opportunity to ask questions, observe carefully and discover details that might otherwise go unnoticed on a more hurried tour.
Practical information to help plan your visit
In addition to the educational content, the screen can also serve as an information aid to help visitors find their way around the park. In a large setting with a wide variety of activities on offer, having clear visual information can make the experience more enjoyable.
If you’re planning to visit Palmitos Park, it’s always a good idea to check the official information before your visit to confirm opening times, access conditions and any operational updates. This will help you organise your day better and enjoy the park at your own pace.
When information is presented clearly and accessibly, the visit becomes a more enriching experience for everyone.
Environmental enrichment: animal wellbeing and stimulation
One of the topics that can be shown on the new screen relates to environmental enrichment programmes for the park’s animals. This is an important subject because it helps to explain, in simple terms, some of the day-to-day work that goes on behind the scenes at each facility and as part of each care routine.
Environmental enrichment aims to provide stimuli that encourage activity, exploration and natural behaviour in animals within a controlled and supervised environment. It is a practice that forms part of a responsible approach to animal care and also helps to educate visitors about animal welfare in zoos.
• Physical and mental stimulation tailored to each species.
• Variation in routines to encourage curiosity and activity.
• A better understanding of the work carried out by keepers and educators.
• A stronger link between animal welfare and the visitor experience.
Discussing environmental enrichment on a screen visible to the public also helps to bring conservation into everyday language. In this way, the visit not only entertains but also encourages visitors to observe with greater respect and sensitivity.
Conservation and collaboration: a visit with a responsible outlook
Palmitos Park also wants its spaces to serve as a platform for raising awareness of conservation initiatives and institutional collaboration. The content that may be displayed on the screen includes references to collaborations with the Canary Islands Government relating to the capture of the California rat snake in Gran Canaria.
Messages of this kind are important because they help visitors understand that the protection of biodiversity does not depend solely on a specific location, but on the combined efforts of institutions, specialists and public awareness projects. For visitors, this provides an opportunity to gain a better understanding of some of the environmental challenges facing the region.
Content relating to our membership of AIZA will also be included; this is a key factor that reinforces the park’s commitment to education, conservation and best practice in the zoological sector. Without getting into technical details, the important thing is for visitors to realise that behind the experience lies serious and ongoing work.
If you’re interested in nature and the relationship between wildlife, flora and conservation, this kind of information adds real value to your visit. And if you’re visiting with children or as part of a group, it can be a good starting point for discussing the importance of looking after the environment.
A natural, family-friendly and educational experience in the south of Gran Canaria
Palmitos Park is much more than just a place to see animals or stroll through gardens. It is a space where nature can be experienced through observation, curiosity and learning. The addition of this educational LED screen reinforces that identity and provides a further means of sharing interesting content with our visitors.
If you’re looking for family-friendly, peaceful things to do in Gran Canaria, this could be an excellent choice. The park offers an experience that combines biodiversity, environmental education and moments of discovery in a beautifully maintained setting.
What’s more, if you’re interested in botanical gardens, wildlife, birds or butterflies, or simply want to spend a different kind of day in touch with nature, Palmitos Park could fit very well into your itinerary around the south of the island.
