Welcome to the updated Side Land of Lions Tour experience, where guests can still enjoy a unique opportunity to see lion cubs up close. Although the original Land of Lions park is no longer operating, it is still possible to experience lion cub interactions through alternative arrangements in the Side countryside.
This experience is designed for guests who are specifically interested in seeing lion cubs up close. Instead of a large theme park, the visit takes place at a small, local animal park in the countryside of Side, offering a more simple and focused environment.
During your visit, you will have the opportunity to see lions and lion cubs at close range. For many guests, especially families with children, the highlight is the opportunity to take photos with the lion cubs.
In addition to lions, there are also other animals present at the park, making it a short but memorable stop for animal lovers looking for a unique experience.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This tour is no longer available as the original Land of Lions Park has been closed.
However, guests who are specifically interested in seeing lion cubs can still explore alternative experiences in Side. For example, our Side Mix Cabrio Bus Tour includes a visit to a local animal park where lions and lion cubs are present.

We visited the Land of Lions and had an amazing experience! We were picked up from our hotel and dropped back afterward, which made the trip super convenient. The tour guide was fantastic—friendly, informative, and made the whole tour enjoyable. One of the highlights was getting to take pictures with the lion cubs, which was a truly unforgettable experience. We also watched a fun and entertaining seal show. They have a small aquarium on site, which could use a bit of improvement, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely recommend it!

A visit to the Land of Lions was an absolute highlight for the whole family! The children were particularly enthusiastic about the many different animals. The lions that you can see up close were really impressive. Our little ones had so much fun posing with the lion cubs. The Dinosaur Park was another highlight – the life-sized dinosaur statues were very impressive. The shows and the other animals in the zoo were also fun. The seal show lasted around half an hour which was nice, especially kids were excited. We really enjoyed our day here and can highly recommend this park!😊😊
