It is a small municipal zoo \u2013 now a Conservation Centre \u2013 with spacious enclosures and good conservation work. It is worth noting that it does not have any elephants or tigers, although some guidebooks do mention them.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How much does it cost to visit C\u00f3rdoba Zoo?<\/h3>\n<p>Adult admission is around 5.50 euros, so a family of four can get in for less than 20. Right opposite is the Botanical Gardens, with admission at around 3 euros, so both visits work out at less than nine euros per adult in a single morning.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What\u2019s the best time to visit C\u00f3rdoba Zoo?<\/h3>\n<p>At opening time, around 9.30 am. The animals are then out in the open and feeding, before the heat drives them to seek shelter, and school groups arrive about half an hour later, so anyone who arrives at opening time can enjoy the grounds in a much more peaceful atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Are pushchairs allowed inside the Mosque of C\u00f3rdoba?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The prayer hall is completely flat and has no steps, so it is easy to get around with a pushchair. If you are visiting with children, it is best to plan a short visit focusing on the forest of columns and the Patio de los Naranjos, preferably first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Is it worth taking children to Medina Azahara?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on their age. It\u2019s eight kilometres away; you have to take the shuttle bus from the museum, the site is spread out across a hillside with little shade, and it takes a whole morning to explore. It can be quite demanding with young children; if you do go, it\u2019s best to set off early and start at the museum, which provides the context for what you\u2019ll see later on site.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What free things are there to do in C\u00f3rdoba with children?<\/h3>\n<p>The Roman Bridge and the banks of the Guadalquivir, both of which are pedestrianised and flat, making them suitable for pushchairs; a stroll through the Jewish Quarter in search of courtyards and narrow streets; and the Municipal Market, where you can watch artisans at work. These are the best ways to alternate visits to the city\u2019s monuments with some time spent outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/what-to-do-in-cordoba-with-ninos\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Cordoba\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/what-to-see-in-cordoba\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Things to do in C\u00f3rdoba with children\"}]},{\"@type\":\"Zoo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/what-to-do-in-cordoba-with-ninos\/#zoo\",\"name\":\"C\u00f3rdoba Zoo \u2014 Conservation Centre\",\"description\":\"A small municipal zoo converted into a conservation centre.
