horrific, animals look unwell, especially the lions and the monkeys. Alot of the cages were empty, more than likely because the animals had died. Poorly treated, not enough shade and hiding places for them, and they looked miserable. Small cages and no where near a match to their natural habbitat. Terrible zoo, and really got me against captivity seeing how... More

Went to this zoo in Summer by bus. Only the one bus and picks up at the cracovia football ground. Drops you at the door of the zoo. Be prepared as it is a long walk around all the facilties. It is no H&S mad like the UK and if you want to lose a hand you could touch the... More

This really is a super zoo and well worth the effort to get there. The zoo is located around 20km or so to the west of the city hidden in the hills. We took a hotel taxi from Podgorze and I think it cost us around 40zloty or £8. We learned when we got to the zoo there is a... More

Not big,but very nice place. Don't go there at weekends in the summer - it's so crowded that you can't see animals!!! More

Zoo is not large, but with sufficient space for animals which is quite a lot. Right next door is a small cafe offering grilled sausages, chips and snacks and drinks. Add to this walk through the beautiful grounds surrounding the forest garden and have a great day spent outdoors. More

Winter isn't the best time to visit. I've always found the zoo to be more impressive when the weather is much wamer, at which time the outdoor enclosures are at their best. I would, however, say that the animal care always seems of a high standard. More

This time of year is not the best time of year to visit the zoo. Although the location is potentially very nice, in the woods to the west of the city, in December it all looked a bit sad and gloomy. An interesting collection of animals was spoilt to some extent by relatively poor quality accomodation for some of them.... More
