What travelers are saying
- SECBelfast, UK6 contributionsReally good price to start off with considering it was only £15 in English money!!
It was a good day out! Lots of animals to be seen.
Better than the Zoo’s we have in Northern Ireland.
Staff were friendly, even though they didn’t speak English but was expect and nice to hear them speak their native language!
We will be back again.Written May 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TrudiwrEngland95 contributionsWe bought a tram pass in Krakow and desperate to get away from the crowds, visited the botanical gardens. The first time we went it was really hot and sunny. What a beautiful place to visit on a sunny day, fabulous planting and the greenhouses were also lovely. The second time we went was during a thunderstorm, so we sat under cover at the cafe and had tea and cake in the rain. Great experience and certainly worth a visit.Written September 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DayTrip5892671 contributionMust visit in summer! It’s free but you have to cue to get to the “beach” but well worth it for a swim and sunbathe. The walk around the quarry is also really nice and lovely views, takes about 1hr.Written August 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ewelina S2 contributionsIf you're looking for an exhibition that will send shivers down your spine (in a good way, of course) ;) , then look no further than the Spiders and Scorpions Exhibition! You'll get to see a variety of incredible species up close, learn about their history and mythology, and even have the chance to hold a tarantula. It's a must-see for any animal lover or even those who want to get rid of arachnophobia ;)Written April 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Morten GAarhus, Denmark19 contributionsThis was a really nice experience. Lots of things to try and to figure out. Many amazing illusions and really nice surroundings. Nice clean toilets and well kept territory. The only few reasons for not adding the 5th star is that some staff seemed more interested in relaxing (lying down on benches and sitting and talking to each other rather than being attentive. Also, it would be nice if you could buy regular food (like sandwiches and so on) and not just sweets. But overall, a very nice experience.
If you drive here on your own, then park across the street at the M1 shopping center. It’s free parking and easy to walk to the attraction.Written July 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I wish we had a map before we headed out, though, because we didn't know where we were going. The trails were well-maintained and woods were very pretty. I would go back!Written June 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- marina13 contributionsWe visited this parc in winter with my 3 years old baby. It was snowy but still we could play and have fun ! the parc is very big and the tramway station is not far away. A nice place to visit with children or to have some peace in the middle of the cityWritten January 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ani MKrakow, Poland30 contributionsIn case you are too tired from crowded streets and cars, park will help you to enjoy and have a relaxed time. Park is very huge so it is suitable for safe biking for kids. Near there is M1 Mall so it is possible to merge shopping and relax time.Written August 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul WLiverpool, UK72 contributionsI have just recently visited this park and did their parkrun. 1 lap of the park. Very well organised and friendly. Tea and coffee free of charge after the run put on by the volunteers.
If anyone is a runner and is visiting Krakow then pop down at 9am Saturday mornings and take part. Good fast course.Written January 13, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I doubt tourists usually visit, I'd recommend a stroll.Written May 1, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sammie J6 contributions7 PLN which is roughly £1.20. Only a ten minute attraction but the number of stairs were very funny going down and worth a pound. If here after a few beers - probably not a good idea. The bar boat just outside is a perfect accompaniment.Written October 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Neil KLiverpool, UK617,240 contributionsThe Saint Stanislaus Route is a nice walk you can take that runs roughly from the magnificent Wawel Castle to the Jewish Quarter ( Kazimierz District ) .
The architecture along this route is magnificent ,obviously the castle is the most stunning but the innumerable churches and grand looking buildings really catch the eye,entering the Jewish Quarter the architecture changes a bit,a bit more rough and ready but no less beautiful ,it finishes at about Plac Wolnica in the Jewish Quarter I believe and is most definitely well worth checking out if you're planning a trip to Krakow,maps are available of the route in the tourist office in the city centre.Written August 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sometimes there are interesting artistic or educational events.Written April 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
