Little ones, big fun

The Children’s Zoo is a must for families. Here, kids can meet goats and rabbits, explore the mini-farm, and ride electric mini-cars. There are also playgrounds and picnic areas dotted around.

Make the most of your day

Plan to spend 2–4 hours exploring. With cafes, rest areas, and easy navigation, the zoo offers a relaxed, family-friendly experience full of discovery.

Things to know before booking your tickets to Barcelona zoo

  • To make the most of your day (or trip), you can book combo tickets that pair zoo entry with top attractions like Aquarium Barcelona or Casa Batlló. These often offer better value than buying separate tickets and are great for multi-stop sightseeing.
  • The Go City Explorer Pass includes the Barcelona Zoo as one of over 45 attractions you can choose from. Just select the zoo as one of your included options when booking. It’s a convenient way to bundle top sights and save if you plan to visit multiple places across the city.
