Alles über Kraków Zoo

Was Sie erwartet

The zoo is situated in the Wolski Forest at ul. Kasy Oszczędności Miasta Krakowa 14. It is generally open every day of the year, with longer hours in summer and shorter hours in winter. Tickets are available at the entrance and offer reduced prices for children, students and families. The zoo provides cafes, rest areas, playgrounds and well-marked walking paths, making it comfortable for long visits.

Warum diese Tour buchen

Wear comfortable shoes, as the zoo covers a large area with plenty of walking. The forest setting means weather can change quickly, so bring layers or sun protection depending on the season. Weekends can be crowded, especially during warm months. Feeding animals is not allowed, and some species may be less active during midday heat. The zoo is family-friendly, but younger children should stay close due to natural terrain.

The zoo is approximately 6 kilometers from Kraków city center. Public buses provide direct routes from central stops, or you can take a taxi or rideshare for a faster and more convenient option. The zoo is also accessible by walking or cycling from certain forest paths for those who enjoy outdoor exercise. Parking is available for those arriving by car.
