What to Do at the Turin Zoo?
On the Malawi Beach with Hippos
Wear swimming costumes and get up close with friendly hippos. Meet Lisa, Ze Maria, and their cub Fillipo, housed in a large glass-walled tank. The pool for visitors slopes down into a model beach, Malawai, that mimics the shores of Lake Malawi with sun loungers and umbrellas. Perfect place to relax in the sun after swimming with hippos!
On Bolder Beach with Penguins
Visitors will find a reproduction of Boulders Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the few places in the world where you can swim with penguins because not all of these cute feathers live in icy waters! You can see them swimming underwater through a large glass window and walking alongside them: there are 65 black-footed penguins in all.
In the Savannah of the Serengeti Park
At the zoo bio park, it is possible to climb onto a platform at giraffe height to really look them in the eye. Accompanied by a biologist, in small groups, you can also approach them from the ground to see how tall they are. In the zoo's Serengeti, there are also a couple of rhinoceroses, animals at risk of extinction due to indiscriminate hunting for the substances in their horn.
In an African Tented Camp
With Turin Zoo tickets, you can also experience a night in a tented camp in the savannah where you fall asleep and wake up hearing the cries of animals. The day begins with breakfast with the giraffes, a sunrise walk in the park, and an aperitif with the lions. Experience the thrill of finding yourself in a Madagascar safari, without having to leave Italy!
