What a wonderful zoo! We had just bought our tourist card which gave us free access to a number of local museums and attractions: the lady in the tourist office in Gdansk recommended the zoo, and it was a lovely day, so off we went. The first problem was getting there. We took the SKM train to Gdansk-Oliwa, and then... More

You can spend the whole day, either with your family, or with friends there. Of course, providing you love animals! From giraffes, elephants, rhinos to fish, colourful parrots and seals, they are all there, waiting for you to be visited, seen, taken picture of! I love the donkeys the most! :D

Beautifully situated at a quiet part of tricitys landscape reserve park. Zoo is fantastic place to spend a family day outdoor. There is also a lot of nice paths at forrests surrounding zoo inviting to explore. Great place for biking and walks, fantastic running site, landscapes are remarkable. I couldnt beliwe im like 20 minutes from centre of Gdansk.

Big zoo with many nice sights. Bring coins so you can enjoy some coffee or hot chocolate while viewing the animals. It takes at least 2 hours to walk through the Zoo.

This is one of the places in Tri-City I choose for walks. Tickets are very cheap so it is not problem from time to time to visit this and on the other hand you give your money in some part for animals. Management of this hotel is trying modernize this zoo but of course they have problems with money and... More
