Zoo d'Abruzzo

Zoo d'Abruzzo, Zoo in Rocca San Giovanni, Italy

Zoo d'Abruzzo is a wildlife facility in Treglio that recreates natural habitats for animals from different parts of the world. The grounds house over 200 animals representing roughly 50 species, from large predators to smaller primates.

The zoo opened in 2007 as Safari Park d'Abruzzo, when animals from a family-run circus were temporarily housed at Rocca San Giovanni. New management took over in 2011 and renamed it Zoo d'Abruzzo. It received its official zoo licence in 2021 and became Abruzzo's only zoo after the Castel di Sangro wildlife park closed in 2017.

The zoo opened in 2007 as Safari Park d'Abruzzo, when a family-run circus temporarily settled animals at Rocca San Giovanni; it took its current name in 2011 under new management. Since 2017 it has been Abruzzo's only zoo, after the Castel di Sangro wildlife park closed. The lemur island, built in 2015, centres on a ship-shaped wooden structure with ropes and play equipment for the ring-tailed lemurs.

The grounds provide enough space to walk and explore, with marked pathways helping visitors find their way around. Plan for a half day or full day for a comfortable visit, especially on less crowded days.

The zoo once housed two leontigers, rare hybrids bred from a male lion and a female tiger. Its first resident was Kunta, a white rhinoceros retired from a family circus, who died in 2026. A 2.5-hectare expansion in 2021 added a farm and an enclosure for Japanese macaques and peafowl.
