This new facility will be home to animals from the Zoo affected by the maintenance and improvement work going on across the site
It will be a comfortable, naturalised space adapted to the needs of the different species
On Tuesday, Zoo de Barcelona will begin building work on a new animal reserve, thought up and designed to house species at the Zoo that are temporarily taken away from their usual spaces. Specifically, this new facility will be home to species that have been moved so that maintenance and improvement work can be carried out on the Zoo grounds.
The animal reserve is located on the land of the old Aquarama. In total, it consists of 3,500 m2 with 5 outdoor spaces, 3 indoor areas and 2 aviaries, all of which are comfortable, naturalised and adapted to the needs and size of the different species they will house, including mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, among others. As well as rest and temperature-controlled areas for different species, there are also areas for the keepers in the indoor spaces.
This new facility requires investment of €1.9 M and will be ready in the spring of 2026. The well-being of the animals at Zoo de Barcelona will be guaranteed throughout the works.
