BioPark of Rio

BioPark of Rio

The BioParque do Rio is a revolutionary new concept for a zoological park, built on the grounds of the city’s former zoo. Located within the beautiful and historical Quinta da Boa Vista park, this modern institution has shifted its focus from simply displaying animals to a mission centered on conservation, research, and education. It’s designed to provide a more engaging and immersive experience for visitors, with thoughtfully designed enclosures that mimic natural habitats and foster the well-being of its more than 1,000 animals from over 140 species. It’s a place where the old gives way to a new, more responsible way of interacting with wildlife.

A visit to the BioParque is an adventure through several distinct themed environments, from the African Savanna to an area for native Brazilian species and even an immersive tropical zone. You can see majestic big cats, learn about endangered animals, and discover the importance of conservation firsthand. It’s a fantastic destination for families, offering educational and fun experiences that appeal to all ages. Located at Quinta da Boa Vista in the São Cristóvão neighborhood, the park is a must-visit for anyone who wants to learn about biodiversity in a beautiful and inspiring setting
