40 hectares, 12,000 animals belonging to 500 species. You can come with your family and spend the whole day here surrounded by nature :). You can see bears, look at feeding seals and hippos, look at nice giraffes and watch chimpanzees. You can also go to the terrarium and aquarium, see different species of birds and tropical fish.
However, the ZOO is also a difficult war story - after the German invasion of Poland, it was bombed and the animals killed, eaten or taken to the Reich. The hero of those times became the garden director, Jan Żabiński. In his home, which is in the ZOO, he hid people in need of help, mainly Jews who had escaped from the ghetto.
More about the history of the ZOO can be found here: zoo.waw.pl/o-nas/historia-zoo

35 PLN for entry. A large part looks neglected. The enclosures are empty "because there used to be something there". Dirty and not because of the animals. Well, it didn't make a good impression on me. I hope they will improve this facility even because it is a zoo in the capital of the country..
