In Rome, it is easy to find ancient architectural wonders and Renaissance art, but did you know that there is one of the oldest zoological gardens in Europe? If you are looking for a child-friendly activity, visit the Bioparco di Roma and discover a zoological garden that has been fascinating visitors since 1911!

At Bioparco, you can stroll along the green avenues and get up close and personal with hippos, giraffes, tigers, bears, leopards, snakes, birds, monkeys, and many others, representing the incredible biodiversity of the planet and reminding us of our responsibility as custodians of the environment.

The facility is active in the conservation of biodiversity through conservation projects for endangered species, environmental education and awareness activities, and scientific research.

The Bioparco only houses animals born at the Bioparco or in other zoological facilities, in addition to specimens seized by competent authorities.

The welfare and care of the guest animals is a fundamental commitment, and the staff works every day to meet the nutritional, social, and behavioural needs of all the animals.
