Oasys MiniHollywood (Tabernas)

Oasys MiniHollywood is a Wild West film-set theme park with a zoo, on the N-340a at km 464 in the Tabernas Desert, just outside the village of Tabernas and about 20 km north of Almería city in a straight line. Andalucía’s tourist board describes it as a 30-hectare park with a western town, a zoo reserve of 800 animals from 200 species and a pool area in summer. Its ticket link shows prices “from 16 euros” (checked November 2026). It suits film fans and families on a road trip through the desert; skip it if you want a ride-based theme park, and avoid the middle of a summer day, when the desert is very hot.

Access and parking

By car: the park lies on the N-340a at km 464, at the edge of Tabernas, according to the Andalucía tourist board. Almería city centre is about 20 km away in a straight line, and the road runs through open desert, so a car is the practical way to come.

Parking: the tourist board lists parking among the facilities. On OpenStreetMap the main customer car park, “Aparcamiento Minihollywood Oasys”, is a paved surface car park marked as paid, on the west side of the site by the main road, about 450 m from the park centre. A second, free car park is mapped next to it, and a rear car park sits on the east side. We could not confirm the parking fee.

Without a car: OpenStreetMap shows a bus stop beside the Tabernas municipal tourist office, next to the main car park, but we could not find which lines serve it or how often. Plan on a car or an organised trip.

What to expect

The western town. Spanish Wikipedia says the set was designed by Carlo Simi for Sergio Leone’s For a Few Dollars More (1965). After later shoots, extras who had worked on the films bought the set and opened it to visitors, and after repairs in 1979 and 1980 it reopened as Mini Hollywood. The town has been used for many westerns since. Wikipedia mentions daily cowboy shows and can-can dancing, a cinema museum with old projectors and posters of westerns shot in Almería, and a museum of carriages used in films.

The setting explains why the set is here. The Tabernas Desert has hosted more than 300 film shoots since 1950, including the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s and 1970s, says Andalucía’s tourist board. The protected area, the Paraje Natural Desierto de Tabernas, was declared in 1989 and covers 280 square kilometres; the board calls it the only desert area in continental Europe.

The zoo. OpenStreetMap dates the zoo reserve to June 1997. The tourist board describes 800 animals of 200 species, many of them protected and several endangered. On the map, the zoo sits on the east side of the park, with a viewpoint, the Okavango Grill Mirador restaurant, a snack bar and a gift shop.

Water and gardens. A pool area (Zona Acuática) opens in the summer season, and a cactus garden lies on the north side, next to the western town.

Prices and opening

The park’s own websites could not be opened from our research setup, so we cannot give a full price list or opening hours. What we could confirm, checked November 2026:

• Price: the Andalucía tourist board’s ticket link reads “Precio desde 16 €” (price from 16 euros) and points to the park’s ticket page.
• Discounts: the tourist board mentions special rates for children, discounts for large families and discounts for over-65s, without giving amounts.
• Season: the tourist board tags the park as open all year, but its listing notes that dates shown are estimates based on earlier years. The pool area is for the summer only.
• Hours: not published on the sources we could open. Check the park’s ticket page or phone before you travel.

Accessibility and safety

Best time to visit

Outside high summer, walking round the western town and the zoo is cooler; in summer the pool area is open, but the middle of the day is very hot. Because opening hours were not published on the sources we could check, confirm the day’s hours and show times by phone before driving out.
