Our visit to Madrid Zoo and Aquarium was a mesmerizing journey through diverse habitats. Greeted by the vibrant flamingos, we were instantly captivated. The playful penguins and the serene pandas were highlights, offering a glimpse into the wonders of wildlife from different continents. Each exhibit, from the lively flamingo area to the tranquil panda sanctuary, showcased the care and dedication to animal conservation. A perfect blend of education and entertainment, this place is a must-visit for nature lovers and families alike. An unforgettable experience that brings you closer to the marvels of the animal kingdom.
For winter time there are limited options to dine.
I recommend train tour if you are with younger children.

Nice place. I spent good and funny time. It’s included lots of animals divided according to the continental. The dolphins show was very interesting. Flamingos were amazing as well. There are lots of cafeterias and gift shops spread every were in the zoo. You can feed some animals as well.
We visit this zoo to see the Panda and the zoo has many wild animals like rabbits and bird which maybe they are not belong to this zoo but come to stay here volunteerily because they get free foods,the most cutest things is the wet land because many different animals sharing the same place and those animals are freedom to get in or get out but they choose to stay. As I understand the Panda has give birth 5 babies panda since they moved to Madrid Zoo,this Zoo has good atmosphere and nice environment, dolphin show is good but due to the day we visited is raining so maybe is better without rain.
It’s closed for maintenance for sometime now but they didn’t mention it on their website or ticket counter. My kids were interested in this part only of the zoo and we wasted 75 euros for nothing.
Before going I read all the reviews about the terrible monkey situation, and while at first I wasn’t convinced, after going there I hate to say I agree. The animals themselves are interesting, but the care and management for them leaves a lot to be desired. Honestly the management team should review their current policies and implement better methods when taking care of the animals. On a completely unrelated note, I saw a lot of peacocks, bunnies and birds roaming around freely and interacting with people.
Visited the zoo and aquarium on a warm sunny winter day. The price was good. Not overly crowded. Pleasantly surprised that many animal were out even in the cold. The zoo is lovely. Old school style. The aquarium is small but a nice addition. Took the train from city center and walked down hill to the zoo. There are two signs but no more once you cross the street from the metro. We didn't realize until we got down to the zoo that there is a bus you can take from the train stations. I would recommend if you have kids.
It was a nice experience. The aquarium is small and you can finish it in around 30 min. From what i understood Madrids aquarium is one of the oldest in Spain. I gues it needs some refreshing.
I was expecting a better experience to be honest. Some of the venues were closed, maybe because i visited end of November, and the Zoo is probably better in summer time. However, the highlight was the dolphin show. If you get a chance dont miss the dolphin show.
A very popular, interesting place to visit with children or just to take a walk and escape from everyday problems!
ich war nicht im laden und habe nichts gekauft aber ich habe angerufen da ich eine information über meinen fisch wollte und sie haben mich am telefon sehr freundlich beraten und geholfen obwohl ich kein Kunde bin. Top!
A must in Spain! I saw for the first time in my life red pandas, pandas and an bearcat??didn’t even know it existed!! Dolphins, aquarium, birds show and much more! Very entertaining!! I also saw pandas fighting, the most hilarious thing ahah
Not sure what zoos some of the complaints are coming from, but this this is one of the better zoos I’ve been to. I’ve visited zoos all over the eastern US and Madrid zoo is as good, if not better. Yes these animals are in a cage, but they live the good life. There is no pleasant death in the wild.
We enjoyed ourselves and there is plenty to see. The aquarium is amazing for the life and size. Great destination while in Madrid. Only 15 minutes outside the city.

Great place for kids! Many animals too see and enjoy and especially the Dolphins and the Aquarium are truly great and entertaining for kids.
You can always take a break and grab some food - to avoid queues, use the automated ordering system instead of ordering from the counter.
I wouldn’t recommend buying the food for animals they offer at the entrance, we did not had time to find all of the animals we could feed.
We have been there for good several hours and it was tiring for the kids. Bring a stroller.
The walk from the zoo to the metro is challenging and requires climbing up a steep hill, there’s a bus you can check too (we hadn’t)

Very nice place to visit with family
I visited in July and it was very very hot. Probably the wrong time to visit a zoo. The animals were great but the dolphin show was a disappointment as the show was really short with not much variation.
Dolphins in captivity are forced to endure endless cruelty. Dolphins are: deprived of food as part of the training process for performing. forced to breed and then traumatically separated from their calves at a very young age. Do research and stop supporting captivity of animals in zoos and places as such. Food deprivation is used in regular basis and built into animal training programs that rely on operant conditioning. Instead they use phrases and words like “positive reinforcement" which in fact is food deprivation.
Dolphins and sea creatures belong to sea, not cramped artificial concrete and glass tanks to swim around circles deprived of everything that's natural and important to them and slowly go crazy.
I am surprised this is still allowed in Europe!! Follow foodsteps of Berlin for example completely making this illegal. Cruel and complete money making in the expense of exploiting the beautiful and intelligent sea creatures.
Stop supporting this cruelty! Paying tickets and so called interaction and swimming with seal or any sea creatures pays for this to continue. Stop teaching children it's normal to have wild animals in captivity. It's cruel and unnatural.
Instead support animal sanctuaries, rescue centres and conversation centres to help animals that have suffered in the hands of human selfish behaviour. Animals are not entertainment or exhibition for us. Teach children these creatures deserve to be free.

The zoo is really big and lots of animals. Perhaps should be less animals in one place as it seems some of the places are too crowded. This zoo is much better than many other zoos in Europe.
Ok it’s a zoo, but still have dolphins in a swimming pool and chimpanzee in cages..
I saw a rhinoceros bleeding bcs he hit himself many times with a barrier. Sad moment ..
instead of that it’s a clean place. They have water around the parc, and plenty of places for snack and fast food.

Lovely experience, so many animals, more than we anticipated. I was looking forward seeing red pandas, but there didn't appear to be any around. The goats were so fun in the little farm area. They kept on trying to eat my baggy shirt which was hilarious. The aquarium too was amazing. The windows are massive and you can see right through to the end of this massive tank. Very nice experience, and I would go again if I come back to Madrid
Possibly the best aquascaping & aquariums shop in Madrid?... go and see for yourself: beautiful showroom, attentive specialists, top quality *and* surprisingly attractive prices.
Whether you are looking for your first purchase, or are competing internationally and need guidance from pros, PezVerde won't disappoint.
I wish all stores had this inspiring degree of attention to detail: 5 stars.

There are small and large sharks here. The Aquarium is nice, with a lot of interesting sea creatures. We highly enjoyed visiting it.
So this was a great way to spend the day. The prices inside the zoo/aquarium are park prices, so food and drinks are pricey.
The animals look good but the park needs some tlc there are to many enclosures that need pruning and a good cleaning. But nothing that will ruin your trip.

We visited the zoo with friends when we were travelling in Madrid. The ticket price is quite expensive, but considering the size of the zoo, we initially thought it was justified. The peacocks and bunnies roam freely, which we liked very much. The aquarium is solid, as are the facilities of some of the animals. However, many of the animals have small cages, dirty and outdated. We were very disappointed with the whole experience and would not recommend it!
Wonderful store dedicated to the aquariums. An amazing selection of and excellent brands. A wonderful attention and the best is that all their equipments are prime with decent prices. And the fish and plants are very healthy.
Amazing store, great service and excellent products, and they have some gorgeous aquariums
Absolutely gorgeous! Great selection of plants and a good selection of fish. Good prices too!
I’m so happy that I found Pezverde. They sell the best stuff for aquascaping. Now I have the best external filter, nice aquascape and healthy plants. Also great support. I had some questions and they answered very quickly. The delivery is very fast ( I ordered to Malaga). I ordered filter, plants, hardscape, wood, lily pipes, substrate and everything came in best condition. They really have everything you need. Thank you Pezverde for doing your job so well and helping people in Spain to have such a cool hobby! 💙
So much fun to see the fish and other sea creatures. We loved watching the fish swim in the big tank. They have huge sea turtles which are so graceful. The kids had a fun time running around and watching everything. It was nice because the zoo was cold when we went so this was a nice place to warm up. The biggest tank was very impressive.
Pezverde has a nice selection of aquarium brands with reasonable prices. The plants quality is great and the shipment is delivered in 24 hours within Spain. For some items (tweezer, scissors) they have their own brand which is also good. The customer service is prompt and they solved my problem immediately.
I live in Barcelona. I often order plants and aquascaping supplies from this wonderful store. Item selection is very good on the web store. Prices are very competitive. Shipping from Madrid to Barcelona takes at the most 48 hours. Orders are always packaged well. They offer free shipping as well within Spain depending on the order value.
