Escape the busy city and enjoy a peaceful day surrounded by nature and animals at the Krakow ZOO. Hidden inside the beautiful Wolski Forest, this charming place offers the perfect mix of relaxation, wildlife encounters, and fresh forest air — just a short drive from the city center.

Since opening in 1929, the ZOO has become home to around 1,500 animals representing more than 260 species, including rare and endangered ones. Carefully designed habitats recreate natural environments, allowing you to observe animals in a way that supports their wellbeing and natural behavior.

Meet some of the ZOO’s most remarkable inhabitants: the elegant Rothschild’s giraffes, the rare pygmy hippos, the powerful Amur tigers, and the playful ruffed lemurs. Explore different themed zones such as the bird aviaries and the reptile pavilion to experience an extraordinary variety of wildlife from around the world.

During your visit, you might witness feeding times or see animals in their natural routines. Be sure to stop at the charming Mini ZOO, where children and adults alike can pet and feed friendly animals such as goats, alpacas, ponies, and rabbits — a highlight for many guests.

This experience is perfect for families with children, couples looking for a peaceful and enjoyable walk among animals, and groups of friends who simply want to spend time together discovering one of Krakow’s most relaxing attractions.
