About

Gdańsk Zoo, set within the forested hills of the Oliwa district, is one of Poland’s largest and most atmospheric zoological gardens. Its spacious, natural enclosures create a sense of immersion, allowing visitors to wander through landscapes that feel far removed from the city. The zoo is home to more than a thousand animals, including lions, giraffes, orangutans, snow leopards, and the rare pygmy hippopotamus, making it a place where global biodiversity comes vividly to life. What sets the zoo apart is its balance of education and quiet, scenic charm. Families can explore winding paths shaded by old-growth trees, while animal lovers can observe species conservation efforts up close. The African Savannah and modern primate pavilions are particular highlights, offering expansive views and thoughtful interpretation.
