Is Bioparco Zoo of Rome Worth Visiting

• Bioparco di Roma in the beautiful Villa Borghese estate is one of the oldest zoos in Europe. The zoo is a popular family attraction with over 200 different animals species including lions, giraffes, elephants and rhinos to see, so it's a great way of entertaining kids, both big and small! Tickets can be purchased at the gate, but booking ahead online can save you a lot of time, especially in peak season. Check Ticket Availability.
• Because the zoo is in the Villa Borghese there are lots of trees around and places for you to shade in the heat of the day.
• As it's an 'urban zoo' it's not a big safari-style zoo, but it's big enough to enjoy and a visit to the zoo is a great way of taking a break from sightseeing whilst still enjoying Rome.
