Łódź Zoo, established in 1938 in the Polesie district, is one of the city’s most dynamic and evolving attractions, combining decades of zoological tradition with cutting‑edge modernisation. Spread across more than 16 hectares, it is home to thousands of animals representing hundreds of species, including rare Asiatic lions, giant otters, Sumatran orangutans and false gharials, making it one of the most diverse collections in Poland. Over the years the zoo has expanded with new pavilions, aviaries and breeding facilities, achieving notable successes in conservation programmes. Its most transformative development is the Orientarium, a state‑of‑the‑art complex dedicated to the fauna of Southeast Asia, featuring an underwater tunnel, vast aquatic habitats and immersive environments for elephants, sharks and tropical primates. This innovative space has become the zoo’s signature attraction, drawing visitors from across the country. Today Łódź Zoo stands as a modern centre for education, biodiversity and family recreation, blending history with an ambitious vision for the future.
