Both are really beautiful to see, especially with young children. The only downside is that the zoo was missing several animals, such as lions and elephants, for example.

The zoo leaves a bit to be desired—not a single kiosk open on a sunny day! But that’s just how Mondays are in Spain... The animal exhibits had their highlights—watch out, the female orangutan throws things!—but otherwise there’s still a lot of construction going on. The aquarium is an incredible experience—a must-see!! The ticket process was absolutely hassle-free!!

Visit the Barcelona Zoo and discover the wonders of wildlife at this biodiversity reserve.

The Zoo houses more than 4,000 animals with a wide selection of birds, marine creatures, reptiles, primates, and more.

The aquarium is definitely worth a visit. Even the entrance is spectacular, with LED walls. The sharks were swimming right above your head! The zoo was a letdown. Most of the animals weren't visible, and much of the park was closed off due to construction.

I bought the tickets online, so I didn't have to wait in line—I just showed the QR codes at the front desk and they gave me the tickets. The zoo experience was 100% great—I didn't see a single big cat, but the other animals were beautiful!

It was very easy to use the tickets. Unfortunately the zoo was on a refurbished process so there were many closed exhibitions. People at the zoo were very helpful.

Skip-the-line tickets are very useful for saving time, and the attractions at both the zoo and the aquarium live up to expectations!

Located in the heart of the city at Ciutadella Park, a visit to the Barcelona Zoo is ideal for a family day out. It hosts over 400 species of mammals, reptiles and birds, including some that are rare and endangered. The Zoo also hosts school trips for students across all ages in the hopes of better educating people about the importance of rescuing and protecting endangered species and biodiversity in general.

The Zoo has been divided in 11 distinct spaces, each housing certain related species. The Land of Dragons, for instance is dedicated to a set of animals native to Asia Pacific, especially the Komodo dragons that it is named after. At the Terrarium, see one of the most varied collections of amphibians and reptiles in all of Europe including iguanas, poison dart frogs, boa constrictors or pythons!

The primate enclosure was inaugurated in 2006 and is dedicated solely to gorillas, the primates that are closest in nature and biology to human beings. There’s also Aquarama, the zoo's colony of sea lions. The large circular tank of water that houses the sea lions is three stories high and holds two and a half million litres of water. The first floor of Aquarama is also home to a number of species native to the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
