During our trip to Poland we visited the zoo in Wroclaw. All I can say is: WOW! I loved it! The aquarium where fish were all around us, even above our heads, mini-Afrika with exotic birds doing whatever free birds like to do, little goats that I was able to touch (if there’s somebody who haven’t noticed goats amazingness yet, check them out on Youtubeπππ) and much more animals, I just adored I all!
I was so happy to be there that I didn’t even care too much about taking pictures, I just wanted to look into all those tiny (or sometimes huge) eyes of animals. πThe most beautiful in my opinion was the fact that they all seemed to be truly happy which unfortunately doesn’t happen in many zoos… It was also nice to hear some people who works there, talking about exotic animals they were taking care of. I find the visit in Wroclaw’s zoo a great experience because I had a chance not only to see new species but also to be close to the big ones since there’s no ugly, depressing cage. Of course, it’s all very safety and big plus for that. Another plus: despite the fact that the zoo is huge, we didn’t get lost, it was always well shown where we should follow. It (and Thomas’s hunger and my cappuccino addictionπ) also led us to Laguna bar- nice place to have a good lunch with a view on penguins and seals. One of the seals was playing so happily that I couldn’t stay focused on my meal. I remember I had good piece of chicken and polish pierogi. I found just one minus about the zoo and it would be for not many descriptions in English.
It took us around 8 hours to slowly see everything, eat lunch and sit at the bar for a coffee break. Probably, we’d stay longer but they were closing. While leaving, we found out that it’s possible to go back to the city centre with a ship. It takes around 25 minutes from the zoo to OstrΓ³w Tumski and if the weather is ok, the trip is a relaxing pleasure after long zoo day. Another, cheaper option, is taking the tram (we took nr 10 from Plac Dominikanski). The tram costs around 4 zl, ship 15zl/person.
So zoo is the must when you're in Wroclaw π
