We had a fantastic time. It definitely exceeding my expectations. I've been to many zoos before and…read moreeither a lot of the exhibits are under maintenance or the animal isn't present. The Zoo Aquarium de Madrid did not disappoint. It's quite a good size and offers a lot to see. Our son (2.5 years) really enjoyed the little farm animals. We all thought the dolphin show was outstanding. All in all this was a great experience. The walk from the subway station is a bit of a hike (we would probably bus it next time) but that wasn't a huge deal.

The cable cars are pretty small and not super new, so again, if you only have a few days in Madrid, I'd recommend other things first, but if you're looking for extra to do, this is available!
