What To Expect

Spend the day learning about the many creatures of the Barcelona Zoo, a modern facility home to more than 4,000 animals that's situated in the city's lush Parc de la Ciutdella. This family-friendly admission ticket offers a great opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of unique animal life.

Make your own way to the zoo at your leisure. You're free to enter any time during the park's regular hours of operation, which typically start at 10am. Closing hours variety depending on the time of year, so check in advance before your visit. Head inside this sprawling facility, which covers almost 32 acres (13 hectares) of animal exhibits. Most visitors need a whole day to fully experience all it has to offer. Feel free to use the park's mini-train to move around, or hire one of the zoo's electric cars (at your own expense).

The zoo is split into various sections, each of which house spacious enclosures for different types of creatures like mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Visit all the most-recognizable creatures you'd expect to find at a zoo, including tigers, lions, hippos, and monkeys, along with some of Spain's more indigenous animals like the Iberian wolf. Information plaques and interactive displays help provide educational details about each creature. There's also an 'infants' zoo' which offers tamer animals for young children, and a dolphinarium, offering a tank where playful dolphins put on a show in front of the exhibit's large windows.

During your visit, learn about Snowflake (Floquet de Neu), a rare white gorilla that called the zoo home until its death in 2003. To celebrate the life of Snowflake, the park has set up a variety of conservation and endangered species awareness programs to help preserve these majestic creatures.

When you need to take a break, the zoo offers a variety of cafés, picnic areas and restaurants, where you can relax and purchase food and refreshments at your own expense.

David_B, Dec 2025

Good day out

Phil_H, Nov 2025

Excellent visit

Sean_T, Nov 2023
Excellent just as you would expect - good weather too which makes a big difference. One of the best zoos I have been to

Carol C, May 2017
A very rainy day when we visited so it was not busy. Also because of the bad weather not all the animals were seen as they did not like the rain either!! We were the only people on the train that circuited the zoo and so we got a personal tour with plenty of stop time for photos. The sea lion show was also cancelled because of the weather. Staff were ok. Food was dreadful- do not eat here, everything was cold although supposed to be hot including the drinks. Lots of animals were seen Elephant, Rhino, Hippo, Wolf , Giraffe etc. An enjoyable day and easy to get to on the metro.

Clifford M, Aug 2016
Excellent zoo. The majority of cages are quite spacious giving the animals plenty of room to move around although there are still a few small ones particularly for some of the monkeys.

All a bit sad. Small enclosures, not very clean and too much closed to the public.

We had a fantastic time, there was nine adults in our party and all really enjoyed the zoo. Well worth the entrance fee!

Karen B, May 2015
The zoo was a nice departure from seeing architecture, artists and local history. It is a fairly large zoo to walk around so be prepared for that. There were large parts of the zoo under construction while we were there. The dolphin show is a pre set schedule so make sure o get there in advance if you are intending go see it. Going too late in the day will not allow you to see a show and walk the zoo. Zoo staff were very friendly. There was no line at the zoo so we did not really need to skip any line. Viator purchase needs to be brought to ticket window and exchanged for a zoo ticket.

Adam R, Dec 2014
We went in early December which meant we didn't see it at its best. For example, we didn't see the Savannah area (elephants, giraffes) because of building work. Also, there was only one cafe open. It was still a very enjoyable visit, particularly seeing the gorillas.

Jeannine D, Sep 2014
great selection of animals, one of the best dolphin shows in Europe if not the world. Easy to navigate, so much to see and do. Well worth a second visit. So many rare breeds of animals too not seen anywhere else...lots of places to eat and drink and good entrance ticket value made for an unforgettable day trip

jolene c, Mar 2014
Animal enclosures were too small and the food was gross and expensive.

Giuseppe D, Jan 2014
Beautiful day out, zoo itself is nice but does need a bit of investment - not quite the level of London. Kids where happy, that's the main point.

Victoria L, Sep 2013
Great zoo with lots of different animals. It is huge much bigger than London zoo. Definitely worth a visit when in Barcelona. We didn't pay the extra for the aquarium but we still watched the dolphin show free of charge. The only bad point is that there weren't many ramps for prams which is a pity as we have twins so there wee a few animals they couldn't see.

Altogether there were too many...

Sheila D, Jun 2013
Altogether there were too many "missing" animals and empty spots. I believe the entire zoo showed its age and the state of the Spanish economy probably has something to do with it. It would have been better for us if the entrance employees mentioned the lack of refreshment options. There were limited places to sit and observe areas. Perhaps our problem was comparing it to Portland, Oregon's zoo which was phenomenal.

perfetto
