Centro Visite Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo
The Centro Visite Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo is a visitor center and small animal facility in Pescasseroli featuring displays with pictures, models, and information panels about the park's natural life. It includes an indoor hall for viewing films about wildlife and plants, an outdoor enclosure area showing bears, deer, wild boars, and wildcats, and an adjacent garden with local plant species and visiting forest birds.
The center was established to help visitors learn about the park's natural environment and wildlife. It has grown into an important starting point for understanding the protected area and its role in preserving rare species like the Marsican brown bear.
The center displays evidence of ancient human settlements and the long presence of people in this mountain region through exhibits on archaeological sites. These elements show how local communities have lived alongside the landscape for centuries.
The location is easily reached by car and features both an outdoor garden and animal enclosure areas that are freely accessible. Your visit can be arranged flexibly since outdoor sections remain open even when the museum building closes for maintenance.
Many of the animals in the enclosure were originally injured or unable to survive in the wild, finding safety and care at the facility instead. This makes the visit an experience that directly shows rescue and conservation efforts.
