A lovely day out with the kids. The animals looked well cared for and there's so much to see, from gorillas to penguins. The skip-the-line ticket saved us a long wait at the entrance

Very good
Set in the beautiful Ciutadella park, so easy to combine with a stroll. Plenty of shade and picnic spots. Great value and the little ones loved the farm area
