Tickets

You visit the Bioparco (Rome's zoo) with an admission ticket, available at full price and a reduced rate for children and over-65s, with free entry usually offered for the youngest below a certain height or age. Family tickets and online rates are often available too (prices are indicative, so check the official website). Since it's a top family attraction, it pays to look out for special offers and any combined or discounted tickets.

Opening hours

The Bioparco is generally open every day, with hours that shift by season: longer in spring and summer, shorter in winter (hours are indicative, so check the official website). Last admission is usually about an hour before closing. Arrive early to enjoy the animals during their most active hours and beat the queues.

Tips for your visit

  • Buy online: you'll often skip the ticket-office queue.
  • Arrive early: animals are more active and crowds thinner in the morning.
  • Set aside half a day: the park is large and deserves time.
  • Bring water and the essentials: there are refreshment stops, but with kids it's best to come prepared.

What to know before you go

The Bioparco is big and you explore it on foot, with gentle slopes and shaded paths through the greenery: comfortable shoes are a must, and a stroller is wise if you have little ones. There are picnic areas, refreshment stops, and facilities. Check the official website for any activities, keeper talks, or workshops for kids scheduled on the day of your visit.
