Zoo Aquarium de Madrid is a combined zoological park and public aquarium located in the Casa de Campo park in Madrid, Spain. It presents a broad collection of terrestrial and marine species and is one of the city’s principal wildlife attractions.

The aquarium galleries, large mammal enclosures and dedicated areas for primates, reptiles and birds; exhibits are laid out across gardens and indoor pavilions that can be covered in a single long visit. The site also runs educational programs and conservation projects and operates animal care facilities on site.

The modern zoo and aquarium complex opened in the late 20th century and has been developed and expanded with specialist pavilions and updated enclosures since opening. Management and exhibit design have focused on combining public display with conservation and education.

The park sits within Casa de Campo, west of central Madrid and is accessible by Madrid public transport. Entrances and paths link the zoo to other park attractions and to nearby metro and bus stops.

• Location and scope: The complex combines both a zoo and an aquarium and lies within Madrid’s Casa de Campo park near the city centre, reachable by public transport.
• Collection scale: Households of animals number in the thousands across several hundred species, so expect a mix of large mammals, birds, reptiles and marine displays during a full visit.

What to See#

• Primate and mammal enclosures: A large primate and mammal section with enclosures for apes, big cats and other terrestrial species, arranged across separate exhibits within the zoo grounds.
• Reptile house and aviary: A reptile house and aviary presenting reptiles, amphibians and a variety of bird species native and exotic to different regions.

• Visit at opening on a weekday and buy timed-entry tickets online to avoid long queues-early mornings are when many animals are most active and crowds are lowest.
• Check the daily schedule on arrival (dolphin and sea‑lion shows, keeper talks and feeding times) and plan your route so you're at those enclosures beforehand; schedules can change seasonally.
• Combine the zoo visit with a walk or short ride inside Casa de Campo (the zoo sits inside the park) to turn the trip into a half‑day outing and avoid peak entry times around mid‑day.
