• Full route: plan around 4–6 hours to explore all the main zoo zones.
• Rainy day: start with the Afrykarium and indoor pavilions.

Main zones of Wrocław Zoo

The largest indoor attraction in the zoo. The entrance is located near the main avenue, around a 5-minute walk from the main ticket office. Inside, you’ll find ocean aquariums, underwater tunnels, African penguins, and manatees. More details: Afrykarium guide.

🐘 African enclosures

The area with large mammals – elephants, giraffes, hippos, and zebras. It’s one of the largest and most open parts of the zoo.
