Educational programmes

At the Barcelona Zoo, we provide an educational programme to post secondary school students, which is designed especially for students at this level. Through these activities, students can deepen knowledge about the animals and learn about the large number of species of flora and fauna at the Zoo.

The Barcelona Zoo reserves the right to change or cancel scheduled activities if there are not enough participants or if an incident occurs justifying such action.
