Punta Verde Zoo is located near the Tagliamento river and hosts about 1000 animals belonging to hundreds of mammals, birds and reptiles. The park extends for about 100.000 square metres, where animal habitat is reconstructed every year, above all vegetation and flowers. Close to local flora tropical plants grow thanks to small lakes formed by thermal wells gushing at a temperature of 30°C.
In June, July and August the Zoo organizes a special summer centre where children can meet the animals, discover nature secrets, meet the people who care for the animals. Summer at the Zoo offers children so many different activities: they can meet the animals, play and be the little explorers. Thanks to accurate information and identification labels one can learn so much of the animal world.
