Looking for Madagascar chameleons in the foliage. Getting to know sloths in the conservatory. These are just some of the experiences you can have at Zoom Turin, the first new-concept immersive biopark inaugurated in 2009 in Cumiana, in the province of Turin.
The specimens live without nets or cages: they move undisturbed on a surface of 180.000 square meters among plants, rocks, waterways or fences. In the company of the park's biologists, who tell the habits, behaviors and curiosities of the over three hundred splendid specimens that populate the oasis, you can really take a trip between Africa and Asia while remaining a stone's throw from the city.
When to go? To tell the truth, there is no best season to visit it: the park organizes events and activities throughout the year. For a stopover you can count on the Lake Eyasi Glamping, equipped with ecolodges and equipped tents, refreshment points and an equipped area located outside the park, illuminated, video-monitored and accessible by an automatic barrier.
