Zoo-Aquarium
Zoo-Aquarium Review
One of the most comprehensive zoological parks in Europe, Madrid's zoo houses a large variety of animals (including rarities such as an albino tiger) that are grouped according to their geographical origin. It also has a dolphinarium and a wild bird reservoir that hold entertaining exhibitions twice a day on weekdays and several more times on weekends. To get a good seat, arrive a few minutes before the show begins. The zoo is in the Casa de Campo, a large park right outside the western part of the city. It's best reached via subway to Príncipe Pío and then Bus 33.
