Table of Contents

We really love places like Natura Viva Park in Bussolengo where you can have a wonderful family day out with animals and nature.

Natura Viva Park in Bussolengo is a 42-hectare zoo where 1,500 animals of 200 different species live. It is not just a zoo but a center for the protection of endangered animal species.

Among the many projects that the park supports are the conservation of species such as the Lemur and Andean Bear, the reintroduction of the European Bison, Griffon Vulture, and Lynx into the wild, and environmental education whose goal is to raise awareness of respect for the environment among all people and, in particular, the younger generation.

In this article you will find all the information you need to organize your visit to Natura Viva Park, located between Verona and Lake Garda, in the municipality of Bussolengo.

Tickets and more informations for Natura Viva Park: tour route

Natura Viva Park consists of two sections: the Safari section and the Wildlife section.

The Safari section is a circuit just over 2 km long that you drive through in your own car. You pass very close to different species of African animals such as antelopes, giraffes, lions and cheetahs, so it is absolutely forbidden to get out of your car. If no queues form, it is covered in about 40 minutes.

The Wildlife section , on the other hand, is a walking trail that winds through the five continents. Step by step along the path that winds through the Africa section , you can observe hippos, lions, chimpanzees, and meerkats.

The walking trail continues in Madagascar where you can see various species of lemurs. The small detour to Australia , takes us instead to see cassowaries, wallabies, kangaroos, parrots, and swans.

At this point we enter Asia , where we can find camels, the red panda, the Siberian tiger (3 observation points are dedicated to her but you have to be very lucky to see her), and birds of prey.

Then you arrive in South America where sloths, various species of monkeys, and the anteater rule the roost. In Amazonas there is the large aviary of parrots.

The last stop on the walking trail is Europe where, within an oak forest, live the wolf, lynx, wild cat, and Borealia where the animals of the cold i.e. snowy owl, reindeer, and European bison are found.

What else to find in Natura Viva Park

In addition to the 5 continents, along the way you can also find the Extinction Park i.e., an area where you can observe the first animals to emerge on land, dinosaurs, and large mammals of the past up to the most recent extinctions. Small excursus on the preservation of rare turtles in Chelonia .

House of Giants is the tropical greenhouse where you can admire the Komodo dragon, dwarf crocodiles, anaconda, butterflies, and more.

They also could not miss the Farm animals : you can go inside the enclosure and feed the baby goats! Feed is bought at the vending machine inside (1 sachet = 1 euro).

Finally, in the Park there are 3 wonderful play areas for children, the largest of which is the one called Animaliadi, near the Africa section.

The walking trail involves several ups and downs and is approximately 5 km long . There is no set time to complete it but in our opinion at least 3½/4 hours is needed to walk around it leisurely.

Natura Viva Park in Bussolengo: tips for a weekend visit

You can indifferently visit either the Safari or the Fauna section first , but we feel like giving some advice if you plan to visit Natura Viva Park on the weekend .

As for the Fauna section, there are no queuing problems as the walking route is really big and you can get around well at any time.

As for the Safari section, on the other hand, the route by car is obligatory and, if you arrive at peak time (after 10:30 a.m.), you are likely to be stuck for several hours.

Our advice, therefore, is to arrive at opening time (even about ten minutes earlier if possible by positioning yourself in front of the entrance gates) and do the Safari right away so that you will be among the first. After the Safari is over, park your car and start your visit in the Wildlife Park.

If you can’t get there early, the advice here is to park the car right away and do the walking tour in the Fauna Park. When, after lunch, the queue at the Safari is hand over hand, you can take the car and complete the visit.

Tickets for Natura Viva Park

The entrance ticket to Natura Viva Park costs 27.00€ adult, 19.00€ boy 6-12 years, free 0-5 years.

If purchased online ( weekdays only ), the full ticket costs 24.00€ and the reduced ticket costs 17.00€.

The ticket is single so it includes both Safari and Wildlife sections and is valid for one day.

How to buy tickets for Natura Viva Park

It can be purchased either at the ticket office on the day, online at the official website (once purchased it is non-refundable), or on the Tiqets booking portal .

In the latter case, tickets are open date and are on offer for €24.00 even at weekends.

By adding a couple of euros , you can also opt for the fully refundable ticket.

▶ You can see the various ticket types HERE .

If you plan to start at the Wildlife, it might be useful to buy it online so that you can enter directly, without going through the ticket office.

If, on the other hand, you plan to do the Safari first by car , you will have to go through the cash desk then you can buy your ticket at that time.

It may be helpful to know that if you do not have a car, the Park provides a 7-seater jeep (without driver) at an additional cost of 50.00€ , which must be booked in advance.

Annual passes are also available.

For all information and to buy a ticket, you can check out the official website .

How to get there and where to park

If the idea is to do the Safari right away, once you pass the traffic circle and the entrance flags, take a right at the fork to the ticket office . Even if you have already purchased your ticket online, passing through the ticket office is mandatory.

If you are leaning toward the Fauna instead, take the left fork at the traffic circle that leads to the parking lots and the walking entrance.

The walking route is well-marked but always take a look at the very useful map they will give you at the entrance so you don’t miss a single attraction.

The Park has a large parking fee (4.00€) that can be paid in advance online or at the ticket counter.

Natura Viva Park in Bussolengo: when to go and how to dress

The ideal season to visit the park might be spring or fall , avoiding the intense summer heat. At weekends, many queues can form on the Safari trail so, if possible, plan your visit during the week.

The trail that runs inside the Park, is a dirt road that, in some places, has some nice steep climbs so comfortable clothing and sneakers are recommended.

Natura Viva Park

Natura viva park: an opportunity for family fun in verona.

An excellent opportunity to experience a fun family holiday in Verona is to visit the Parco Natura Viva di Bussolengo: born with the idea of ​​safeguarding the endangered species, it has become a modern zoological park that allows children and adults to observe the animals that characterize the different faunas.

The zoological park hosts nearly 1200 animals of 200 different species on an area of ​​42 hectares wide and it is also an important scientific center for the protection of endangered animal species.

The Zoo Safari Natura Viva Park is located in Quercia in Bussolengo (VR). In the beginning, the park was called Parco Zoo del Garda and was famous for its most beloved guest, the hippopotamus Pippo.

Opened in 1969, it has passed its 50 years of opening.

How to visit the Bussolengo Natura Viva Park

Divided into geographical areas, it reproduces the different natural environments in which endangered animal species live. You can appreciate numerous and accurate reconstructions of now-extinct animals such as the classic dinosaurs, all life-size.

There are mainly two itineraries: the Safari Park drive-in; and the Wildlife Park, which is pedestrianized.

Visit the Fauna Park on foot

You can visit the Wildlife Park walking through paths where you can admire the species present in the 5 continents. The visit can take approximately 4 hours. All along the area, you will find refreshment points, snack bars, a restaurant, and areas equipped with benches for resting.

Fauna Park starts with the Africa area. During this path, you will admire animals such as hippopotamus or rhinoceros, but also antelopes, cheetahs, chimpanzees, and lions. In the Asia zone: camels, red pandas, and Siberian tigers.

Do not miss the area dedicated to turtles and reptiles, with a large tropical greenhouse. In the “farm” section, goats can be fed.

There are beautiful coniferous forests in the path of Europe, while in Borealia we find the animals such as the snow owl, the reindeer, the European bison.

To the delight of the little ones, the Parco Natura Viva Zoo also dedicates a part to the extinct prehistoric animals: Extinction Park.

Zoo safari by car

Driving in your car, you can admire the animals of the Savannah: lions, cheetahs, ostriches, wildebeests, giraffes. The visit by car takes about 40 minutes.

A regulation must be respected to preserve the protection of animals and the guests’ safety: car windows must be kept closed, it is forbidden to feed the animals as well as honk the horn if not in case of extreme necessity.

How to reach the Natura Viva Park by car

Info for disabled people

Special rates for disabled people, a park for everyone: accessibility.

Over the years the park has been equipped with useful amenities to accessibility, usability and enjoyment of the structure through collaboration with Magy's, an interdisciplinary group of studies, research and consultancy. The park is located in a natural setting on the hills of Lake Garda, which give the area its characteristic "wavy" look. Parco Natura Viva is divided in 2 sections: - The Safari Park : visit it on board of your own vehicle. - The Fauna Park : pedestrian area. Most of the roads are made from stabilized and gravel. In some places the slope is greater than 8% and therefore it is absolutely recommended that visitors in a wheelchair are escorted . The percentages of slopes Park are shown in signs.
