Parco Natura Viva

Near Garda Lake, the Parco Natura Viva has one of the most important zoological collections in Italy and it is today one of the main Centres for the conservation of endangered animal species and for environmental education.

Spread over 42 acres of Morenica woodland, with 1000 animals of 200 endangered species, from all over the world. A Safari drive through and a path dedicated to the giants of the past. A fantastic park, alive and full of emotion, where knowing and understanding the past and present of Nature is how we can protect and lead it into the future.

During the route through the Park, divided according to geographic areas, immersed in a natural oasis, you can observe the great bio-diversity of our planet. A qualified staff of biologists, veterinary surgeons and naturalists take care of this extraordinary Noah’s Ark which has more than 200 animal species.

The Safari Park: a fascinating route which you follow on board your own vehicle and which leads the visitor to discover the inhabitants of the savannah. Giraffes, lions, cheetahs and hyenas are only a few of the protagonists of the adventure you will experience on your visit!

The Fauna Park: a relaxing path to be covered on foot through an oak wood, which is home to animals of all the continents.

The House of Giants: in the heart of the Parco Natura Viva, the giants have arrived: the real ones, the huge ones compared to their peers. Among scary reptiles, incredible insects, and mysterious fish, you’ll find a completely new area, dedicated to the wonders of evolution: a tropical greenhouse on the theme of dwarfism and gigantism in the animal kingdom. The new “House of Giants” is open, come and discover it!

The Extinction Park: the park showing the evolution of the dinosaurs, which already existed in 1978, but which has been enriched with new ideas and spectacular reproductions in natural dimensions which will help visitors to penetrate the fascinating story of the evolution. From the conquest of dry land to the arrival of the first enormous mammals, guests will be catapulted millions of years back: to the origin of the story of life on the Earth.
