Faunistic Park Cappeller, Zoo in Cartigliano, Italy.

Faunistic Park Cappeller is a 4-hectare zoo and botanical garden in Cartigliano, in the province of Vicenza. Its grounds hold more than 500 species of trees and shrubs alongside animals kept in settings that recreate their natural habitats. The park also contains a museum on human evolution and a taxidermy display.

The park was founded in March 1998, bringing a new educational and recreational facility to the Veneto region of northern Italy. Its establishment marked the start of a local initiative to create a space for wildlife appreciation and visitor experience.

The park displays different habitats where visitors can watch animals in settings that mimic their natural environments. The pathways pass by enclosures organized by region and geography, showing how animals live in their respective climate zones.

The site features two snack bars, multiple restrooms, and free parking for visitors. Plan your visit during warmer times of day when animals are more active and walking the paths is more enjoyable.

Inside the park, a Museum on the Evolution of Man traces human development, and a taxidermy exhibition displays preserved animal specimens. Both sit alongside the botanical collection of more than 500 tree and shrub species, so a visit covers zoology, botany and human prehistory in one walk.
