Madrid Zoo

Located in the lungs of the city, the Madrid Zoo was inaugurated on 23 June 1972 in the surroundings of the Casa de Campo. It currently has around 1,300 specimens of 333 species in a 22-hectare area distributed by continents with specimens of great value. Examples are the Costa gorilla, the white and Indian rhinoceros, the Bornean orangutan, the giant panda, the Iberian lynx, the giant otters of the Amazon and the imperial eagle.

The educational activities of dolphins, sea lions, birds of prey and exotic birds are part of a tour in which the twin panda bears You You and Jiu Jiu, Land of gorillas or the Bornean orangutan family, as well as the group of Asian elephants or unique species such as koalas, takins or tapirs are a must. Also visit the aquarium, where you can see sharks of various species, sea turtles or its coral farm, a pioneer in Spain since 1995.

Workshops for the whole family, children's camps at Easter, summer and Christmas or monographic courses for students throughout the school year are other attractions of this zoological institution that is part of the history of the city of Madrid. Come to the Zoo!
