My son has autism and waiting for food causes him much distress so when I went into the restaurants around the zoo and the food was ready to take it made my day so much easier brilliant experience and fabulous zoo
My favorite animal is tge huge trutle. It was very hot, but the old large platans gave our shade. I recommende for everyone.
Fantastic ! Not over crowded. Lots of amazing animals and experiences. Friendly staff and beautiful scenery. Fully recommended.
I liked a lot the zoo, it was very clean and cared for in every little detail. there was a lot of staff who took care of cleaning the bathrooms, streets, animal enclosures...
Everything is super. We see many kind of animals, which we had never seen before. The atmosphere was very relaxed, there was no pressure. I recommend everyone who is in Barcelona to visit the zoo. The food offered on site could be improved.
Very quick and easy to order the tickets, we got in the zoo without waiting in line and the zoo was amazing , it looks absolutely phenomenal and no matter how much I walked around there seems to be always something new. Honestly the zoo is a must if you are looking for something in Barcelona and if you want something shorter in a spann of an hour I would recommend the aquarium , I have no words just beautiful and so well built you feel like you are in another realm.
It was nice experience to visit Zoo and an Aquarium with my daughter, she was exited so much to see so much animals and fishies around her
I have visited with my kid some very nice zoos in Prague, Viena and Budapest and liked them much more vs. Barcelona. Many cages in Barcelona zoo were empty and a part was under reconstruction
The giraffes were very impressive, as was the elephant 👀
Quick ticket buying and awsome expirience

The ease of access, the course, the interactive room, the number of species, the games for children, the passage through the tubes, we are plunged into the underwater world ...
my favorite attractions were: the shark tank, the nemo fish tank (an Italian cartoon), the penguins although I would clean the glass because then the pictures come out wrong (last picture), the transparent fish (I don't know the specific name)and the tunnel.
All in all a wonderful experience. Lots of aquariums with exotic fish and display boards. Unfortunately, the building was totally overcrowded with visitors. Many groups of visitors (estimated over 100 children), so that you could no longer understand your own words and stood in a very confined space with the people in front of the aquariums.
Very convenient! User friendly , fast and easy !
Especially nice is the tour where there are sharks swimming over our heads and the ponguin area
Easy access to both attractions. Gorgeous views of the city from the cable car.
All is well, although for a 'moment I thought the tickets did not pass inspection,because only one out of three passed.

The aquarium was a very nice experience for my 9- and 4-year-olds. There are different species of fish and activities to do--I highly recommend it. Fortunately, the tickets were taken online so we avoided the endless line by coming straight to the turnstile to enter.

The aquarium was well laid out and had fancy aspects but it seemed to all be fir the visitors while the animal enclosures looked unfair for the small amount of basic animals that they held there. The animals didn't look happy and the variety was limited.

All of them! Very informative, also interactive. Feeding the fish was also a great experience and of course the large aquarium around us.
The aquarium is large and well worth seeing! A variety of fish and other sea creatures. I particularly liked the tunnel with lots of sharks and other large fish.

How quick it was to get in for the visit. Very beautiful aquarium, my grandchildren and we were amazed by the beauty of all the fish species. I highly recommend the Barcelona Aquarium.
Price payed was skip the queue. However we were not let skip the queue but had to wait and join a long queue. Apart from that it was a great experience.
It was nice experience to visit Zoo and an Aquarium with my daughter, she was exited so much to see so much animals and fishies around her
The aquarium, an incredible place!!!! The wonderful tunnel, a very nice experience, as if you were immersed in the sea!!!

This experience is perfect for being able to keep my son entertained and I very much enjoyed it too. A great selection of sea life very well presented. Really loved the interaction of the fish feeding
