The park's 'Hippos Underwater' exhibit is the first of its kind in Italy, featuring a large glass panel for observing hippos swimming alongside fish.
The Madagascar area is home to a dedicated island habitat where visitors can walk through an enclosure containing free-roaming lemurs.
The park utilizes a natural filtration system for its water features to maintain aquatic environments for hippos and penguins.
It actively participates in international EEP (EAZA Ex-situ Programmes) for the conservation of endangered species.
The layout is designed to avoid physical barriers, using landscaping techniques like dry moats and natural vegetation to keep animals within their zones.
The park's veterinary clinic is located onsite and is designed with viewing windows, allowing the public to occasionally see medical procedures or health checks.
Zoom Torino is an immersive zoological park that replaces traditional cages with wide-open, barrier-free habitats designed to mimic natural ecosystems. The park spans 160,000 square meters and organizes its exhibits into distinct geographical zones such as Africa, Asia, and Madagascar. Visitors explore these habitats via boardwalks and walking paths that bring them into close proximity with species like hippos, giraffes, and lemurs. The park focuses on environmental education and conservation, frequently hosting feedings and biologist-led talks throughout the day. Several water-based viewing areas allow guests to observe animals from both above and below the water surface. The design emphasizes natural immersion, utilizing glass or water barriers rather than fences to define living spaces. It functions as an active member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria. The grounds include integrated play areas and educational stations specifically designed for families. The facility is fully operational as of June 2026.
The glass viewing windows at the hippo pool provide the best opportunities for underwater photography.

Wear comfortable, broken-in walking shoes as the park covers a large area with significant natural terrain.
Trying to see every feeding demonstration in one day, as the park is large and travel time between habitats is significant; rushing through the sensory exhibits.
The park operates seasonally; it is typically closed during the winter months and reopens in early spring.
Strictly follow 'no feeding' rules to ensure animal safety and maintain natural diets; do not bang on glass viewing panels.
