Bararida Zoological and Botanical Park, Zoo and botanical garden in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.

Bararida Zoological and Botanical Park is an 18.5-hectare space in Barquisimeto that houses over 3,500 animals representing around 185 species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The grounds also feature approximately 150 plant species and include a central lagoon, boat access points, and a dining facility.

The area was designated as a reforestation zone in 1939 and later became the foundation for this facility. Its official opening as a zoological garden took place in 1967, marking the start of its role as a place for education and animal protection.

The park runs education programmes such as "El zoológico va a la escuela y a la comunidad" and "Ayúdanos a ayudar", which promotes green ideas and the three Rs of reuse, reduction and recycling. Since a 2003 decree it also coordinates PICOSO, a programme for the conservation of the Andean bear in Lara state, run with the Gustavo Rivera zoo in Falcón.

The park lies at the junction of Avenida de los Abogados and Calle 13, bounded by Avenida Libertador to the north, Avenida Morán to the east, and the Polideportivo Máximo Viloria to the west. The main entrance and the walkway lined with chaguaramo palms lead up to the central lagoon at the highest point of the grounds. The serpentarium, the contact farm and the manatee exhibit with an underwater viewing window are separate stops within the 18.5 hectares.

In 2003, Lara state decree 2,525 created PICOSO, a program run from Bararida to conserve the Andean bear in the state's highlands, working with the Gustavo Rivera zoo in Falcón. The park also runs "El zoológico va a la escuela y a la comunidad" and the "Ayúdanos a ayudar" recycling campaign.
