Located in the heart of the city, the Bioparco di Roma is an island of biodiversity that provides a refreshing break from the urban hustle and bustle. Founded in 1911, it is one of Italy’s oldest zoological gardens and has evolved over time from a purely entertainment space to a center for conservation and environmental awareness.
Exploring natural habitats

From African elephants to Antarctic penguins, the park hosts a myriad of species from around the world.

The park offers a range of educational programs that engage both visitors and local schools. Through interactive workshops, guided tours, and lectures, the Bioparco seeks to promote environmental awareness and responsibility towards nature.
Conservation initiatives
The Bioparco di Roma actively participates in conservation programs for endangered species.
