    Zoo de Barcelona

The zoo in Barcelona is located in the city park. Ranked among the top zoos in Spain, has open enclosures, allowing you to almost touch the animals. There is a infant zoo where children can be introduced to various animals.
A train runs round the park or you can hire an electric buggy if you wish. As well as a wide selection of animals and birds, the zoo offers special displays of reptiles such as iguanas and chameleons. The zoo was founded in 1892 and is one of the oldest and most modern in the world. The zoo prides itself on its humane facilities and habitats for the wild animals. The dolphins appear to be very content and love to perform at the glass windows of the pool. There are also regular displays in the indoor aquarium where members of the audience are invited to interact with the dolphins. Expect to get wet if you sit at the front.

@John
Hello John, Yes, you can board the Aerobus A2 at Plaça Universitat before it reaches Plaça Catalunya to head to the airport. The Aerobus service (line A2) is specifically designed to connect the city center with Barcelona-El Prat Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) efficiently. At Plaça Universitat, there is a designated Aerobus stop, so you can get on the bus there. Just make sure you are at the correct stop for the A2 line if you're heading to Terminal 2. If you’d like to check the route, schedule, and ticket information, you can visit this same page for Aerobus tickets. Let me know if you need more help planning your trip!

@alan
Hello alan, The closest Aerobús stop to Barcelona’s cruise port is Plaça Espanya. From there: Take the green metro line (L3) toward "Zona Universitària" and get off at Drassanes (two stops). Walk about 15 minutes to the World Trade Center (WTC). At the WTC, you’ll find a shuttle called the Cruise Bus that runs directly to the cruise terminals. The cost is approximately €4.50 round-trip. Best,

  1. great zoo - phil (17 Oct 2012 - 08:45)

    Barcelona zoo is a great one. The children loved it, we did so.

  2. Snowflake The Albino Gorilla - Nick Billington (25 Apr 2012 - 20:30)

    I remember in 2003 when I was 10 years old seeing snowflake. He was towards the end of his life, however he was the biggest attraction of the zoo. I remember him having a crap and then eating it. Kinda groce that I know.

    If only he could be alive today, it would still be the highlight of going to Barcelona Zoo...!!

  3. snowflake - mm14 (15 Nov 2011 - 00:15)

    no he died in 2003

  4. This zoo is a shame - Julia (13 May 2011 - 11:15)

    please don't go there and join this group to ask the catalan govenment to give some money to make a zoo where animals can actually live, a zoo we don't need to be ashamed off.

  5. ce zoo est très bien aussi bien que puisse l'être un zoo - SAMBOUDINE (24 Apr 2011 - 12:00)

    1-le gorille albinos est décédé, ce n'est pas pour cela que l'on y va
    2-IL est difficile de se garer à Barcelone, dans tous les quartiers, ceci dit allez y un our férié, et garez vous sur une place de résident, ticket mais pas de fourrière
    3-Le spectacle des dauphins a lieu à certaines heures
    4- Visite avec ma fille de 6 ans et enfant de 2 ans, sans le moindre soucis

    C'est vrai que partir à l'étranger suppose certaines contraintes et aventures. C'est à mon avis ce qui fait le charme des voyages. Aussi il est plus simple de regarder un DVD sur les animaux chez soi, les enfants pourront faire la sieste, vous n'aurez pas à vous déplacer, votre voiture restera dans votre garage et vous ferez des économies

    bonnes vacances

  6. mensonge - carinemittelete (4 Mar 2011 - 10:45)

    A savoir que ce parc est un attrape touriste, le gorille albinos n'est plus un des habitants du parc étant donner qu'il est mort en 2003 selon les dires d'un employé du parc. Mon fils était déçu et presque à en pleurer. De plus, il est impossible de voir les dauphins à travers les vitres car elles sont en hauteur et l'accès au escalier est fermé et il faut savoir que les représentations se passent à 12h et 15h. Ce parc est très grand et difficile pour un enfant de 8 ans de tout faire à pied, la location de la voiture électrique vous coutera de 15 à 25 euros de l'heure selon celles que vous prendrez, en plus du prix de l'entrée qui n'est quand même pas négligeable. Sachez également que toutes les places de stationnement autour du zoo sont payante sinon votre voiture part à la fourrière car toutes les rues de Barcelone sont filmées.

  7. Barcelona zoo - Leon (1 Mar 2011 - 19:30)

    Great zoo btw... how many animals do they have there?

  8. No monteis en los coches electricos del Zoo Barcelona - Ignacio (23 Nov 2010 - 02:58)

    El parque esta muy bien, somos socios, pero este fin de semana hemos alquilado un coche electrico por 1 hora, y la mujer (de negro) que lo administra me dice que me da 5 minutos más. El caso es que a la hora indicada dejo el coche en la otra parada de coches electricos (otra vez ya hicimos lo mismo), pero me acuerdo que el DNI se lo han quedado en la otra parada y llego 5 minutos tarde. Se lo explico y me dice que llevo 10 minutos tarde cosa que es mentira porque yo había mirado mi reloj y eran 5. El caso es que como no me daba la razón le comento que si me va a cobrar 12,5 € por media hora más que no vuelvo ni loco a montar en uno de sus coches ya que me parece una estafa, a lo cual me dice que entonces ya me cobra la media hora seguro. Le pago y me voy en un día festivo de mala leche con mi mujer y mis hijas. ¿porque me da 5 minutos y luego me los quita?, en fin voy a darme de baja del Zoo como socio y ni loco me vuelve a timar esa mujer. Cómo es posible que el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona permita cobrar lo que le venga en gana a esta gente?, todos los parkings de Barcelona cobran por minutos. Yo cogí un coche electrico que es una porqueria y me cobrarón 36 € por 35 minutos una autentica verguenza, encima me dice que si quiero que tengo 20 minutos más de usar el coche, en fin no volvemos y vamos a comentar esto para que no vuelva a pasarle a nadie.
