About Bio Parque Rio
BioParque do Rio is designed for exploration at your own pace, with spacious open habitats replacing a fixed schedule of shows. Along the self-guided route, you can visit family-friendly areas like Fazendinha for close encounters with domestic animals and explore Imersão Tropical, a dedicated zone with its own access rules. Food outlets throughout the park make it easy to pause and recharge as you go.
Did you know?
BioParque do Rio is one of the few wildlife parks in Brazil built on the site of a historic zoo, replacing traditional exhibits with immersive, conservation-led habitats.
The park's Tropical Immersion aviary lets birds fly freely around visitors, creating one of the closest wildlife encounters available without guided experiences.
Fazendinha gives children a chance to meet and learn about domestic farm animals, adding a hands-on experience that's uncommon in large urban wildlife parks.
BioParque do Rio limits entry to Imersão Tropical in timed batches, helping reduce crowding and creating a calmer environment for both visitors and animals.
Many of the park's habitats are designed with hidden barriers and panoramic viewpoints, giving the illusion of sharing the same space as the animals while keeping everyone safe.
