Wrocław Africarium — Attraction in Wrocław

An ambarasing mistake. This place is known as "the best" zoological garden in the country, this is quite far from the truth! We shal start with the price, single adult ticket costs 55 PLN, in other zooes similar in size and animal stock, this price would be around 20 PLN! The admission fee is surely overpriced by far. The zoo isn't spacious at all. In the contrary there are narrow passages, tight cages and crowds everywhere. This isn't the best place to have a nice Sunday walk in. You will soon get into the horde of crying children left unsupervised by the carless parents. And those loud beasts (homo sapiens feralensis aka young wild humans)will probably be the most spectacular specimen around. The zoo has an amazing marketing but the quality doesn't follow. I found most of the cages empty, or looking empty. I believe the zoo's main atraction is the "Afrykanarium" it is an aquarium for exotic fish. I can't give you my opinion on this as the queue for this establishment was at least 150 m long! This is sad the the admission fee is included within the zoo's ticket as this clearly translates to the ridiculous overall price, and unfortunatelly not all the guests can enjoy the afrykanarium from the inside so why paying for it? The toilets are free of charge, they are ok but they are not a luxury you would expect from the price you payed for the ticked though. The inside pavillons are crowded and not very good. With the exception of the lizard house which is good. The seals aquarium is also great. To sum it up, you will see a lot of interesting animals, but you won't see the most exciting ones like big cats that were all hidden somewhere. If you are are ready to take a disappointment or two, you don't mind the crowds and long queues, and the crazy tickets price doesn't bother you this is an excelent place for you! If you don't, try other zooes (like Poznan which is more spacious and almost 3...

A Wild Day at Wrocław Zoo: Where the Animals Rule and Humans Just Visit

If you're ever in Wrocław and wondering what to do, let me save you some time: go to the zoo. Seriously.

Wrocław Zoo isn’t just any zoo—it’s an animal-packed adventure that feels like traveling the world without needing a passport (or a long-haul flight).

So Many Animals, So Little Time

From the moment we stepped through the gates, it was clear this place means business when it comes to wildlife.

Lions lounging like royalty. Mischievous monkeys swinging around like they own the place.

What really blew me away was just how many animals there are. Over 1,000 species, they say—and I believe it.

Everywhere you look, there’s something fascinating: sleek cheetahs, towering giraffes, snappy crocodiles, fluffy red pandas, and way more birds than I could possibly count.

Don’t Miss the Afrykarium

The Afrykarium? Absolute showstopper.

It’s this enormous building dedicated to African ecosystems, complete with underwater tunnels, giant tanks, and animals you don’t see every day.

Watching a hippo glide underwater with surprising grace or seeing a shark swim right over your head? Unreal.

The Whole Package

Wrocław Zoo is clean, well-organized, and perfect for wandering. Whether you're with kids, on a date, or just an animal enthusiast like me, it’s easy to spend the whole day here and still want more.

There are food stands, shaded spots to relax, and plenty of fun extras if you need a break from animal-gazing.

Final Verdict

Wrocław Zoo is a must. Come for the animals, stay for the sheer joy of seeing nature up close (and maybe grab an ice cream on the way out—trust me, you'll have earned it).

Horrible; probably the worst zoo I've ever visited, 0/10. All directions are unclear, signs are wrong & completely misleading, there are no maps anywhere. On top of that, I have never witnessed such a large mass lacking of spacial awareness from the design and other visitors. Every single person had the inability to form queues and had no human decency. The staff were completely inconsiderate & rude, absolutely no customer service whatsoever; I had to remind the staff in a stall to give me my order because they never made it - and when it eventually came, the packaging was inadequate and got all over me. The food was subpar and horrid - the only edible thing there was fries. Hot dogs were cold, waffles were practically burnt & messy, and drinks were room temperature. (Unless you like cold, damp, and dreary-looking salad, this place is not for you). It took a good part of an hour to locate an exit, and it when we did it was closed; so, in our dehydrated and starving state we had to circle back to the entrance we came through which took another 30 minutes because this place is like a maze (and not the fun kind). In summary, I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy, I wasted 5 hours walking in loops in the boiling hot weather, it felt as if we were slowly walking into hell - only thing missing was fire and satan himself. And, just to top things off, the so-called "furry seals" were...
