Marco Polo Trail
Sunday December 27, 2009 from 9:00am - 4:00pm
Roger Williams Park Zoo
1000 Elmwood Ave
Providence, Rhode Island 02907 Get Directions
Built in 1996, the 'Marco Polo Trail' was one of the first in the country to truly embrace the 'biopark' concept -- the idea of combining cultural, historical and zoological experiences. The Marco Polo Trail is a multifaceted exhibit tracing a three-year journey of explorer Marco Polo through Asia. To give visitors a sense of the culture and history of the era, the Zoo recreated scenes from Marco Polo's journey including a Venetian plaza, Bedouin tent and the hull of a 13th century trading vessel. Along the trail through the 2.5-acre exhibit, visitors encounter animals native to the countries Marco Polo visited.
