Zoo and Botanical Garden Jerez
Source

El Zoobotánico Jerez, previously known as Zoológico y Jardín Botánico Alberto Durán, is a zoo and botanical garden situated in the Andalusian town of Jerez de la Frontera in Spain. The garden spans over 60,000 square meters and has a proposed Expansion and Renovation Program that aims to double its current size. This makes it a spacious and diverse destination for tourists interested in both flora and fauna.

Location and Accessibility

The zoo and botanical garden is conveniently located to the west of the old town of Jerez, on Calle Madreselva s/n. It is easily accessible from the old National VI, where it has an entrance made within the accessibility plan. This makes it a convenient destination for tourists visiting the old town of Jerez.

Animal Collection

Initially dedicated to the fauna of the Iberian Peninsula, El Zoobotánico Jerez has expanded its zoological collection over the years. It now exhibits more than 1,000 animals belonging to about 200 different species from the five continents. This wide variety of animals makes it an interesting destination for tourists of all ages.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Zoo and Botanical Garden Jerez offers visitors a pleasant experience combining animal exhibits with lush gardens. The facility houses a diverse collection of animals, including big cats, primates, and various bird species. Many visitors appreciate the well-maintained enclosures and the apparent good care given to the animals. The botanical gardens add a refreshing element, featuring a variety of local and exotic plant species.

    While the zoo is generally well-regarded, some visitors note that it's relatively small compared to other zoos, which can be seen as both a positive (easy to navigate) and a negative (limited variety). The layout is described as compact and walkable, making it suitable for families with children or those who prefer a less demanding visit.

    The zoo has made efforts to create more naturalistic habitats for some animals, which is appreciated by visitors. However, a few reviewers mention that some enclosures could benefit from updates or expansions.

    Educational aspects of the zoo are generally praised, with informative signage and occasional keeper talks. The zoo also participates in conservation efforts, which adds value to the experience for many visitors.

    Facilities such as cafes and rest areas are available, though some visitors suggest bringing your own food for better quality and value. The zoo's location within Jerez de la Frontera makes it an accessible attraction for tourists exploring the area.

    Overall, while not the largest or most spectacular zoo, the Zoo and Botanical Garden Jerez provides a pleasant, educational day out for families and animal enthusiasts, with the added bonus of beautiful botanical gardens.
