Madrid Zoo and Aquarium

Madrid’s zoo is relatively young in zoo-terms, as it’s only been in its current location at the Casa de Campo for about twenty five years. Moving to this new home allowed ample opportunities for the zoo to grow, and it has particularly large collections of African and Asian wildlife. The aquarium is notable for its incredible displays of tropical fish, and daily dolphin shows.
