Zoo-Aquarium de la Casa de Campo review Rate it
This attractively landscaped zoo is located slap bang in the heart of the Casa de Campo. The animals look as happy as can be expected of beasts held in captivity, although the big cats could really do with a bit more leg-room. At the Tierra de Gorilas ('Land of Gorillas') a sheet of reassuringly thick glass separates you from the massive, glowering silverbacks that prowl about. Children will enjoy walking through the shark tank and dolphinarium. There is also a petting zoo and a train ride.

Comments & ratings
Excellent zoo, often busy, book over internet to avoid queues, also check animal showtimes, dolphins are a highlight and get there 20 minuted before showtime to get a good seat. Mostly junk food, best is the restaurant just south of the aquarium. But lots of people take picnics. Gorillas, aquarium, various bears and monkeys also worth seeing, but if you dont like captivity then, like any zoo, dont go.
