Discover the zoological garden at the Bioparco di Roma. Learn about the zoo’s role in the conservation of endangered species and environmental education. See over 1,200 animals representing around 200 species from the world over.

The Zoological Garden of Rome was inaugurated in 1911 with the primary objective of entertaining the public through the exhibition of rare and exotic animals. Based on a very different concept from the current modern zoo, the Bioparco di Roma is active in the conservation of endangered species, environmental education, and scientific research. Visit the Bioparco today and enjoy an opportunity to get to know, understand, and consequently respect the environment around us. Discover over 1,200 animals belonging to about 200 different species — including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians from 5 continents — and explore one of the most interesting and suggestive botanical contexts in Rome.
