How Baby-Friendly is Barcelona Zoo?

79%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 79% Baby-Friendly: Parents find nursing room, diaper tables and mostly level paths suitable for strollers, yet the zoo lacks on-site buggy rental and loud shows may distress infants, making convenience good but not perfect.

A little bit pricey at 24 US dollars for the zoo. But it was spectacular and some of the most beautiful views of Barcelona made within this zoo. Really enjoyed my time here .

A good place for a family visit or if you need to shift your focus. The zoo is under development and for this reason closed facilities are found. In the center of the zoo is a large playground with many swings and transitions for children of all ages. There are several interactive indoor halls on the grounds where you can play a question and answer game. We enjoyed our visit, spent the most time n...

Great city zoo. Probably one of the best city zoos we have visited. Great selection of animals. Good price. Clean, tidy and hygienic. Selection of gift shops and eateries. Only downside is to make sure you have mosquito spray, as we were bitten a few times whilst there. Apart from that, would highly recommend.

My daughter and I had a blast here. We spent 2-3 hours walking the entire park and saw amazing animals of all kinds. We did not stop and eat at any of the restaurants however and recommend bringing your own food and drinks. Since it was very hot some animals were hiding in the shade but that is understandable. We saw more than enough to make the trip a memorable one!

Nice ZOO, the warm weather is definitely affecting the animals. Many of them were resting in the shade. Which we understand. The aviaries for the animals are very nice. Really high praise. We wish you much success in renovating the ones where there are beasts.

When is the best time to visit Barcelona Zoo (Barcelona, Spain)?

In summer (Jun–Aug), arrive at opening to use shaded Aviary and indoor exhibits before midday heat. In winter, pack a light jacket for breezy poolsides.
