Tropicario, Indoor tropical animal zoo in Vallila, Helsinki, Finland
Tropicario is an indoor facility in Helsinki housing a collection of reptiles and other tropical species living in temperature-controlled spaces. The building is fully climate-controlled and contains snakes, monitor lizards, water turtles, and spiders.
The facility was founded to showcase tropical animals in Finland, despite the region's vastly different climate. Since then, it has focused on creating specialized habitats suited to these species.
The zoo presents tropical animals in habitats that mimic their natural environments, allowing visitors to watch reptile behaviors up close. The facility helps people understand exotic species that do not exist in the wild across Europe.
The facility is within walking distance of central Helsinki and located in an accessible building. It is helpful to wear comfortable shoes, as visitors move through multiple rooms.
The collection features one of the largest assemblies of giant snakes across the entire Northern Europe region. This makes the location particularly noteworthy for visitors interested in snakes.
Opening Hours: Monday-Sunday 10:00-19:00; December 24-25 off
