Best timeOpens 9:30. Go early, because several animals are shut in before closing time.
Verdict by age
Not a general rating. How each age band actually experiences it.
The best paid activity in Rome for under-6s, and still good up to ten. From eleven it is a pleasant couple of hours and no more.
Two things to know. The Reptile House and a few other areas cannot be entered with a stroller, and strollers are not allowed on the train either, so someone waits outside or you bring a carrier. And animals go indoors before closing: reptiles an hour before, giraffes, elephants and bears thirty minutes before. Arrive in the morning.
Tips for the visit
- Scooters, bikes, balls and balloons are not allowed inside.
- Two cafes open on weekdays and four at weekends and holidays.
- After 26 October it closes at 17:00, with last entry an hour before.
- A last-minute ticket at the desk in the final two hours costs €9.
