In 1770, King Charles III founded the Royal Menagerie in Retiro Park. It is the second oldest zoo in the world.

In 1972, the animals of Zoo Madrid were relocated to new modern facilities and natural habitats at the large park Casa de Campo.

In Zoo Madrid you can find animals from the five continents, a large Aquarium, an Aviary and a Dolfinarium.

The Zoo is owned by Parques Reunidos.
