Zoo Aquarium de Madrid with kids

The zoo sits inside Casa de Campo and it is large. Children walk between open enclosures grouped by continent, then duck into the aquarium building when they need shade. The dolphinarium is what most kids ask for, so check the day's session times at the gate and plan the route around it. A small train, the Autotren, tours the grounds if legs are short.

Fine

Ages 3 to 10 get the most out of it. Babies are fine in a stroller but will not remember much, and it is a long day outdoors for them. Teenagers tend to like the aquarium and the dolphins and drift through the rest.

With under-5s, do not try to see everything. Four hours is about the limit before legs give up, and the official site lists stroller rental at the entrance for that reason. There is a picnic area next to the dolphinarium if you bring your own lunch. Older children who have seen bigger zoos may be done sooner.

Tips for the visit

  • EMT bus 33 from Príncipe Pío stops at the zoo door. The metro leaves you a 900 m walk through the park.
  • The official site sells a Zoo plus Faunia pack, worth a look if you plan both.
  • Lockers at the entrance take cabin-size bags, from €5.
