Le Cornelle: the animal world has never been so close!

Autore: Redazione 29/08/2025 15:55

Le Cornelle is a zoological garden located in Valbrembo, in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy.

Open daily from March to October, the park hosts a wide range of animal species – from giraffes to elephants, tigers to lemurs – and carries out European-recognized conservation projects. What makes it truly special, however, is its ability to offer an authentic and visitor-friendly experience, complete with convenient services, well-organized dining areas, and activities designed for both adults and children.

Tickets and prices

The park offers free admission for children aged 0–2, as well as for visitors with 100% disabilities (and for minors with disabilities), with discounted rates for companions.

Here are the details:

  • Full ticket (ages 12+): €24.00
  • Reduced (ages 3–11): €16.00 (ID required)
  • Over 70: €18.00
  • University students, teachers, law enforcement: €21.00 (with valid ID or badge)
  • Visitors with partial disabilities: €15.00
  • Companions: €15.00
  • Safari Train: €3.00

A fair price for a full-day experience.

Picnic areas and restaurants

Eating at the park isn’t just a necessity — it’s part of the experience. Le Cornelle features several picnic areas, both open-air and covered, for those who prefer to bring their own food, as well as a network of restaurants and snack bars catering to every taste.

From classic sandwiches to kebabs, grilled dishes to gluten-free options, everything is designed for a pleasant and relaxing break. During the hottest months, misting stations are available near the food courts — perfect for cooling off mid-visit.

An adventure to remember

Le Cornelle is more than a zoo — it’s an experience. Between safari train rides, observing animals in carefully recreated habitats, and relaxing in green rest areas, the park promises a day full of wonder, discovery, and respect for nature.

Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, a family seeking an educational outing, or a curious traveler, Le Cornelle welcomes you with open doors from March to October, offering a journey where learning and adventure go hand in hand.
