Visiting Rules

Visiting the park is an opportunity to get to know, understand and respect the environment around us.

For safety and animal welfare we ask you to respect the following rules: 

  • our animals have a balanced diet to follow so don’t feed them
  • jumping over the fences could be dangerous for you and for the animals;
  • screaming, shouting or making loud noises disturbs the animals;
  • you cannot enter with balloons, balls, skateboards, bicycles, scooters, roller skates and shoes with wheels;
  • only guide dogs are admitted to the park
  • avoid banging on exhibit glasses or fences;
  • don’t throw any objects at animals;
  • the Reptile House and other areas cannot be visited with baby strollers, nor will you be able to board the Bioparco Express with strollers. Please use the unsupervised parking area available.

There is no luggage storage available at the park.

WARNING

Due to the documented presence of West Nile Virus in Rome and the Lazio region, we recommend following the measures indicated by the Italian Ministry of Health: Ministero della Salute – West Nile, cosa c’è da sapere.

These measures are intended to reduce the risk of mosquito bites from mosquitoes that can transmit the virus.

We suggest:

  • using mosquito repellent on exposed skin;
  • wearing light-coloured clothing that covers as much skin as possible.

Bioparco has already taken measures to reduce mosquito numbers within the park. Visitors who do not have mosquito repellent with them can receive it free of charge at the entrance.
