Barcelona Zoo is ideal for family days out. Over 7,000 animals from all over the world call this place home, including everything from lions, kangaroos and elephants to meerkats and creepy crawlies. It makes for a wild day trip from Salou.

There's something for everyone at Barcelona Zoo. And once we arrive, you'll have a morning of exploration ahead of you. Toddlers can pet the goats and guinea pigs at the farm, while older children get stuck in with the interactive exhibits. Don't forget to check out the art gallery – all the pictures have been drawn by the resident gorillas.

Within the park, there are restaurants and picnic areas where you can stop for lunch. And, afterwards, you'll have some free time to explore the Ramblas or go for a stroll around the famous Port-Vell area of the city.

I enjoyed the freedom to take things at my own leisure.

The tour guide and the bus driver were great the guide was very informative and friendly, the zoo itself I thought was good but did feel it lacked atmosphere and thought there would be a couple of shows on within the complex but there was nothing

Michael was amazing, very caring and we felt well informed. His attention to detail was amazing. Especially as we had two young children . The zoo was disappointing due to lack of maps and signage around zoo. However booking off the trip , the staff from start to finish from TUI were impressive and very attentive.

Learning all about the history of Barcelona and Spotify camp neu was outstanding to see. Terreasa our rep was outstanding and gave us lots of advice and knowledge of our visits. Was only disappointed with the zoo was a bit run down and no food or restaurants open either but was still a good day but I expected more. Great experience in Barcelona city

A bit expensive overall, booked through the rep in the hotel, it’s not any cheaper than doing it yourself on the TUI app. Rep on the bus was great, very helpful and knowledgable, he was able to keep us all right. I wouldn’t do it without the bus rep.

The zoo is the worst zoo I have ever visited empty enclosure after empty enclosure hardly a animal in sight WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY £116 down the drain
