About Bioparco di Roma

The Bioparco di Roma is the city’s zoo, run by the Fondazione Bioparco di Roma on the edge of the Villa Borghese. White rhinos, Californian sea lions, African penguins and Asian small-clawed otters are among its residents, and the Bioparco takes part in the European breeding programme for the Sumatran tiger. A little train runs through the park; tickets are sold on the official site.
