Tickets to Barcelona Zoo

About this experience

Barcelona Zoo Tickets This ticket is admission to Barcelona Zoo, one of Europe's oldest zoological parks, founded in 1892 and set within the leafy Parc de la Ciutadella. The zoo is home to over 300 resident animal species, and the guided experience of the site brings visitors face to face with giraffes, zebras, gorillas, and hippos in spacious, naturalistic enclosures, all maintained by the zoo's dedicated team. The zoo prioritises animal welfare with habitat-accurate environments that keep its resident animals content and provide excellent viewing opportunities. Visitors will find dozens of exotic bird and reptile species alongside the larger mammals, plus interactive areas perfect for children. The petting sections, hands-on exhibits, and shaded playgrounds make this an ideal day out for families, whilst the small train adds an extra element of fun as it circles part of the park.

The zoo operates year-round, including during bad weather, though indoor areas are limited during heavy rain. Several food outlets are scattered throughout the park, and you are welcome to bring your own picnic for designated areas. The zoo sits inside Parc de la Ciutadella, making it easy to combine with other Barcelona attractions. You could start your day at the Arc de Triomf before heading to the zoo, or finish with a stroll through the park towards Barceloneta beach. The paths are flat and accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, with rentals available on-site.
