About Tiger experience
Tiger Experience is a non-profit association in the Veneto that runs a permanent big-cat exhibition, founded in the early 2000s to show what life in captivity is actually like through the relationship between the cats and their keepers. It is not a walk-in park: every visit is a guided tour with limited places. The Tiger Tour runs about two hours on Sundays for adults and children of eight and over; a Tiger Baby Tour for younger children runs every other Sunday; the Tiger Exclusive takes two to four people aged fifteen and up for around four hours on training and the trust between trainer and animal; and Ranger for a Day puts an adult alongside the keepers for a full day. Its stated philosophy is that nobody owns an animal.
Visitors can park in the designated parking area located near the entrance of the zoo. Parking is paid, so be sure to bring some change or a credit card. It's advisable to arrive early to secure a spot, especially on weekends when the zoo is busier.
- All visits must be booked and places are limited. The main tour is for ages eight and over; a separate tour exists for younger children. No prices are published - the association takes bookings directly.

- Hosts specialized tours for schools to educate students about animal care and respect.
- Provides free visits for associations supporting individuals with difficulties.
