This zoo is really well laid out and easy to navigate. There are plentiful food stalls, bathrooms and a beautifully maintained playground/outdoor kids train. In the warm months, you can even choose to bring a picnic and have your choice of places to spread out and enjoy the food. The zoo is open year round including major holidays.

Great zoo to visit. It's approx 30 minutes walk from the Old Town but a very nice walk over the bridge. Animals are well looked after and the enclosures seem fair. The only improvement would be to improve the map which is a bit confusing. Alternative improvement would be to have a set lined route that you can see most of the zoo enclosures as you keep doubling back if you've missed something. Overall great value at 20 PLN.

What a fabulous zoo. So many beautiful animals and they have so much space to roam. Lovely enclosures and the animals are very well cared for.
There are plenty of food & drink stops. Clean toilet facilities and loads of play equipment for children.
It is a beautiful day out just to stroll amoungst the trees and beautiful greenery and very cheap to go and see the animals.
It is an easy walk over the bridge from the Old Town and well worth a visit.

A grown up and a 12 year old went for a walk around this vast zoo. There were lots of coffee points and such a variety of exhibits:
Gorillas
Elephants
Serval cat
Amphibians and reptiles
Insects including rare spiders
Polar bears
All the residents appeared well fed and very loved and looked after. Plenty of room for them to roam about without looking cramped. There were good education points and as a non Polish speaker felt very well catered for.

We visited the zoo today-10zlt each which was quite a bargain so we weren't so surprised that we didn't get a map or any information on the way in. Huge place and lots of animals to see-unless of course you go when we did and they are all indoors-70% of which you can't see into-no rhinos,no lion,no polar bears..... The list goes on. Information about the animals not in English. Old and run down houses/cages. The monkey house needed a good clean along with the hippos that you couldn't see through the glass tank. Lots of monkeys,maybe baboons, outside running up and down-the liveliest we saw of any of the animals but one tiny one with no fur and skeleton thin stands out. Absolutely awful. The jaguar was pacing round in circles in it's tatty small cage with a bunch of sticks,round and round and round-a clear sign of distress. Monkeys just sat looking sad,no interaction or movement from them. A lot of animals on their own rather than having a mate or family with them. After walking round for a good hour we found a place for food-not really-just cakes and drinks. A number of eateries were passed with nothing open-including the gift shop. Toilets absolutely disgusting in the reptile house,dirty and smelly with broken locks and whilst trying to choose the better one of the two I walked into one with a window right next to it-call me a prude but that doesn't seem quite right to me. I will be looking into how to complain about the sorry state of the monkeys I saw-that's how bad it was-I will upload the photo of it to prove my point. Seriously if you love animals then don't go here-it's heartbreaking.

Not Europe's most impressive zoo, but a place with a lot of History. Its founder Jan Żabiński was a zoo pioneer in Warsaw and a zoologist. He was the director of the renowned Warsaw Zoo before and during World War II. Jan and his wife Antonina and their son Ryszard used their personal villa and the zoo itself to shelter hundreds of displaced Jews. Additionally, Jan fought during the Warsaw Uprising, was subsequently injured and became a prisoner of war. They were recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations for their heroic rescue of Jews during the Holocaust in Poland. A movie was made about the Żabiński couple, The Zookeeper’s Wife, released on March 31, 2017, with Jessica Chastain portraying Antonina and Johan Heldenbergh cast as Jan. Today’s zoo is still at the same location.

My sister and I were very eager to visit the zoo after reading the fabulous book "The Zookeeper's Wife". We followed the directions given on the site - Metro and then tram to Praski Park. It was a lovely ride across the Wisla, and very easy to find. We were initially disappointed, as no one understood that two crazy American ladies were searching for the zookeeper's house! We searched high and low to no avail, but loved the animal displays. The primates and monkeys were especially entertaining. After walking the park, and enjoying a snack of delicious potato pancakes we were heading toward the exit, when low and behold I spied the house! It was right where we started - behind the flamingo exhibit. So if like my sister and I - you are interested in finding it - when you enter you will see the flamingos to the right. Facing the exhibit - scoot around the corner to the left (facing) and the house sits right behind the exhibit:)

The Warsaw Zoo is extensive, well laid out, with beautiful grounds and many exotic animals to enjoy as a family. But if, like us, you are interested in World War II history, you must visit the home of the zookeepers, the home of the Zabinski family, tucked away on the zoo grounds. They were responsible for sheltering Jewish refugees from the Warsaw ghetto in their home during the war and moving them with the help of others aiding the plight of Jews to safety. A remarkable story of courage and compassion and resolve and the home features the basement which provided sanctuary - in one case for 3 years - to persons who otherwise would have likely perished. You need to visit with a guide so be sure to call in advance to secure a reservation for your visit.

Hi is there an exhibit here that is not so much related to the animals but the history from World War II? Is there any history left from when the family hid the Jewish people?

Hi - the house is still there but I think you need to make an appointment to go inside. But do visit the Jewish History Museum - totally amazing. And watch the movie ‘The Zookeeper’s Wife’ which of course takes place during the Second World War. Hope this is helpful.
