Zoo Bioparco

The place
Rome Zoo has recently renamed itself the Bioparco, and is being made over to make it a more modern, environmentally-worthy establishment.
Rome's Zoo is located in the Villa Borghese park area, on Viale del Giardino Zoologico. It's close to the route of trams number 3 and 19. Alternatively you can walk across the park from the Spanish Steps or Piazza del Popolo (Spagna and Flaminio on Metro Linea A).

Description
This used to be a zoo, but has now become the Bioparco. With only a few cages, the goal is to create an environment that is as close as possible to the animals' natural habitat. Here children can learn about where and how animals really live. Admission: Eur6.50 for children (3-12yrs) & Eur8.50 adults. Free entrance for children under 3, adults over 60 and the disabled.
