Your entry fee gets you access to a wide world of fauna, including creatures of the land and sea. Thousands of creatures from across the globe call this place home, from gorillas of the African Continent to the wolves that roam Europe.
Purchase same-day entry or prebook online tickets, and since the zoo offers lots to do, you should plan to spend a few hours here. Science enthusiasts can go to one of the zoo talks, including discussions about native species like the Spanish Imperial Eagle. You can watch birds fly in the aviary, check out the giant pandas that are rare to see—even in a zoo setting—and marvel at sharks in the aquarium area.
Madrid Zoo Aquarium is located west of the city center in the expansive Casa de Campo park. The most convenient way to visit is by public transit. You should use the 33 bus—via the Principe Pio train station—or take the 5 or 10 metro lines to the Casa de Campo Station.
Plan to visit the Madrid Zoo Aquarium daily. Since off-season hours are significantly reduced, you should check the calendar to confirm opening hours. You can purchase tickets up to one hour before closing time, though it's best to leave more time to explore the zoo's numerous exhibits and animal enclosures.
The Zaouia is open to Muslims 24 hours a day, every day. Non-Muslims wanting to take a peek through the door of this sacred space should avoid the period around Friday prayers, when the mosque is very busy.
