Mini Hollywood (Oasys)

N-340a, Tabernas, Andalucía

Description

Oasys (Mini Hollywood) is a 'Western" theme park that repurposed the movie set of Sergio Leone's 'For a Few Dollars More' shot in 1965 and ' The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' in 1966. There are three areas: 1) Western Town that hosts shows and includes a reconstructed saloon and an abandoned gold mine; 2) the Zoological reserve with over 200 species such as rhinos and leopards; and 3) a swimming pool.

Access & Transport

The theme park is 25km north of Almeria city, just off the A-92 - exit 376 Tabernas. Onsite parking is available

Instructions & Recommendations

The sun can be strong, so bring some protective equipment and water

Meta review

The number of fake online reviews can't hide the fact that most visitors seem a little disappointed by their visit, especially the quality of the shows. Probably ok for children but not worth the money according to many. Comments are actually better for the zoo section though enclosures seem to be in need of upgrading.

Environmental & Social

Repurposing of film set is good but the pool in an arid environment less so. With respect to animals, the website has a lot of sentences regarding the educational and conservation aspect, but those are a little hard to reconcile with the size of the enclosures and the keeping in captivity in the summer heat.

Conclusion

The 'Western' theme is a potentially interesting concept, but execution has not been nailed apparently and the park suffers from underinvestment (the pandemic certainly won't have helped). The zoo is a good addition for kids but we query the ethical aspect, especially considered the local climate.

Key positive

Key negative

Average quality shows

Can be uncomfortably hot in the summer
