Near Turin, ZOOM Torino is a unique biopark in Italy: a large, fully pedestrian green space covering about 160,000 m², home to more than 300 animals living in carefully recreated natural habitats.
Here you can encounter lemurs, giraffes, hippos, gibbons, tigers and many other species, all set in environments inspired by Africa and Asia. The special feature? The park is designed without cages or visible barriers: instead, natural elements such as streams and vegetation create a much more immersive and engaging experience for children.

An educational and engaging experience
ZOOM Torino was founded in 2009 with a clear goal: to promote respect for nature and the conservation of endangered species.
The visit is not just about observing animals: thanks to the presence of educators and biologists, children can approach the animal world in a meaningful way, discovering fascinating facts, behaviours and habitats.
It’s one of those experiences that combines fun and learning, leaving a lasting impression even after the visit.
One of the most popular experiences for families is Bolder Beach, a South African-inspired bay where you can swim alongside penguins.
Crystal-clear water, soft sand and a carefully designed setting make this area truly special, especially on summer days.
👉 Access requires a combined Park + Pool ticket or a dedicated Bolder Beach ticket.
