    Cute zoo, well worth the visit! It had so many different animals to see. The llamas were adorable. And so many turtles hanging around the pond. Loved it. Good activity to pass a few hours with friends, family, or even solo!

    I love EVERYTHING about the Old Zoo, I honestly just love this place. You can watch amazing, exotic animals for free ❤️ there is also a pavilion (payed 6 zlotych/person) where you can see incredible fishes, frogs, snakes and other animals (except for mammals and birds - they are outside the pavilion). Being there is always amazing experience. You can sit on a bench, read book, watch animals and just enjoy the peace and calmness there 😊🍀

    For free, close to center, family time, date. It is an old one zoo which is unexpectedly modern and well organized. If you have 30 minutes to allocate do not hesitate to visit it. I think it is the first place where I saw a black swan.

    (Translated by Google) One of the oldest zoological gardens in Poland recommendable. The property is free, so it is the perfect place for a walk. At ZOO, we can see a lot of animals and very old cages that are currently being renovated. As always, I am against selling alcohol in such places. (Original) Jedno z najstarszych ogrodów zoologicznych w Polsce godne polecenia. Obiekt jest bezpłatny, więc jest to idealne miejsce na spacer. W ZOO możemy ujrzeć sporo zwierząt oraz bardzo stare klatki, które obecnie w trakcie renowacji. Jak zawsze jestem przeciwny sprzedaży alkoholu w takich miejscach.

    Well maintained, clean Zoo. Free to enter. Lots of flowers and benches to sit. There were goats, alpaca, different types of monkeys and birds. I didn't see tiger in the cage.

    I was here 4 year ago, and I found it’s better now. It’s still free entrance, but more animals. Food here is nice and cheap. Can’t complain.

    (Translated by Google) It is not a zoo in Wrocław (my son's favorite place is the Afrikanarium), but it is also not such a "linden" as the zoo in Łódź;) Our own, a bit tight, but quite good :) (Original) Nie jest to ZOO we Wrocławiu (Ulubione miejsce mojego syna to Afrykanarium), ale tez nie jest to taka "lipa" jak ZOO w Łodzi ;) Nasze własne, trochę ciasne, ale całkiem dobre :)

    Even though it is an 'old zoo' it has tonnes of attractions. There are loads of animals to choose from and there are also a few parks for your children to play with. No queues at the beginning makes it a way better experience. There's a hut where you can buy ice cream, fries and much more. And the best part is...It's for free! 5 stars! Really recommend coming here!

    If you happen to be around, you may spend some time walking enjoy some fresh air. It is not a modern one just manage yours and your children's expectation.

  • 3/5 Matthias S. 3 months ago on Google • 46 reviews New
    Small zoo that you can enter for free and stroll like a park. Most of the cages/houses are not in use anymore since they probably do not meet modern size standards. The reptile house (paid) is well worth a visit for its comodo dragon and geckos etc, even though most animals, especially the crocodiles, still have very little space. The new turtle house is a great addition and the foxes are lovely to watch.

  • 4/5 Vengie Z. 11 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    More animals and its for free, good plan to visit this zoo not only for kids but for parents too. i dont have a lot of pictures because my son want only on turtle. I recommend for whole family.

  • 4/5 Daniel H. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a nice place to go and pet some animals. It should not be considered a zoo anymore and more like an interactive park. The New Zoo is a more appropriate zoo.

  • 5/5 Aneta M. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) It would be a nice place if there was more to see. Most of the alleys closed. Why? I remember better times of this garden. (Original) Byłoby to fajne miejsce gdyby było więcej do oglądania.Większość alejek pozamykanych.Dlaczego ?Pamiętam lepsze czasy tego ogrodu.

  • 5/5 SANGMIN C. 2 years ago on Google
    Finally....... i met komodo lizard what i watched on Video documentary 30 years ago... There are very nice free place to rest.

  • 5/5 Martin A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's free to enter. If you are around the area definitely worth walking around the park, of not for the animals for the gardens instead. Very cozy little zoo.

  • 5/5 Marcin F. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great attraction, I recommend. (Original) Super atrakcja, polecam.

  • 5/5 Patryk P. 2 years ago on Google
    Inside you can find few interesting species. It's free, so I do not see a reason why not to recommend it to anyone.

  • 5/5 Rafał 4 years ago on Google
    Small but very nice zoo and the entrance is free. The animals are cool, I loved the scotch cows!!

  • 5/5 Michal M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Old but good 👍😋 Currently, it's hard to call it a zoo but I have a huge fondness for this place 👍 I also recommend a museum 👍 (Original) Stare ale jare 👍😋 Obecnie ciężko nazwać je ogrodem zoologicznym ale mam ogromny sentyment do tego miejsca 👍polecam takze muzeum 👍

    Amazing, free entry a more animals than we was expecting, spent the whole day walking around. who knew black swans have curly feathers 🤔

  • 5/5 Steven N. 3 years ago on Google
    A great way to spend the afternoon. A scenic little walk through the old zoo. No admittance fee necessary and several animals on site. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Mona 2 years ago on Google
    Many years ago there was an attempt to move the old zoo animals out of the city centre and its noise and pollution. Apparently it didn't work at the time as it resulted in the zoo rats moving out too, and into the houses around. When visiting last week I just enjoyed the green oasis in the middle of the traffic mayhem. Benches to sit on, free toilet. I would prefer to see animals live somewhere quieter.

  • 5/5 DMTR 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to spend time with a kids. Good to see that zoo is nicely maintained

  • 5/5 Ingvar E. 1 year ago on Google
    The old location of the Poznań Zoo, now serves as a large petting zoo and park, the entry is free. This makes it the perfect location to visit on a trip Poznań, especially if you have kids, they love petting the cows, sheep, goats, pigs and even geese, in this zoo. There's only 2 vendors at the entrance and no active zoo staff so you need to pay good attention to your kids.

  • 5/5 Pawel W. 1 year ago on Google
    Much smaller than the New Zoo, but located in the city center this is the oasis of greenery and an attractive park with several animals still hosted here. Compact, great for families and everybody who seeks some relax or likes observing the nature. Free entrance.

  • 4/5 Tommy N. 1 year ago on Google
    The zoo has many flowers, like a park, if you don't see the aquarium everything is free

  • 2/5 Halia K. 1 year ago on Google
    At last visited this zoo yesterday.. I was shocked by the conditions in which these poor animals live. Cages are too small,some of them are ill,it seemed to me that they even don't get enough food. I feel sorry for them

  • 5/5 Alesia G. 1 year ago on Google
    It's more like temporary place for saved animals rather than typical zoo for entertainment. They have notes that some of animals are adopted by people, and it's great to know. The place is completely free

  • 4/5 Chris F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little zoo. The best part is that it is free to stroll through the walkways. Not the largest Zoo but they do have a great mix of animals to see.

  • 4/5 Юлия �. 4 years ago on Google
    When I was there almost all animals was taken to another zoo. So I saw just birds and turtles. But it is a good place for family amusement. Also there is a free WC and it's clean enough.

  • 4/5 Dominika B. 1 year ago on Google
    It is pretty nice, but the animals seem a bit sad.

  • 4/5 Tatva S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good for a leisurely walk. They've emptied many of the enclosures here.

  • 5/5 Jörg 9 months ago on Google
    Sehr hübscher kleiner Zoo im Stadtzentrum. Ein Geheimtipp! Der Eintritt ist frei. Es sind nicht die großen Tiere zu finden, aber wirklich sehr schön.

  • 5/5 S. 9 months ago on Google
    Ein sehr schöner mittelgroßer Zoo in der Nähe des Stadtzentrums (15 Minuten zu Fuß vom Hauptbahnhof entfernt). Der Eintritt ist frei! Nur der Eintritt ins Reptilienhaus, das sich im Zoo befindet, ist kostenpflichtig. Spielplätze und ein Bistro mit kleinen Speisen sind vorhanden (Sitzplätze ausschließlich im Außenbereich). Ein Besuch im alten Zoo lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Anmerkung: Der alte Zoo darf nicht mit dem neuen Zoo verwechselt werden, der sich auch in Posen befindet (weiter vom Stadtzentrum entfernt, sehr groß und kostenpflichtig).

  • 1/5 Sebastian T. 6 months ago on Google
    It was horrible, even though it was without an entrance fee. The goats were standing ankle deep in their own waste, the carps were swimming in stale or dead water. If this is a result of the Park being free, charge the visitors to benefit your animals

  • 1/5 Conor 6 months ago on Google
    Depressing. My partner described it best, it’s like the operators are just waiting for the animals to die so they can close it. There are many in bad health, and in enclosures far too small. Saw a Artic fox burying a bird, so I assume they aren’t being fed very well if it is storing food. Overall we left feeling very sad and wished we hadn’t gone.

  • 2/5 Krzysztof H. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    The Old Zoo in Poznań is a disappointing attraction that falls short of expectations. While it holds historical significance, the facilities are outdated and in need of renovation. The enclosures for the animals are small and don't provide adequate space for them to roam and thrive. Additionally, the overall atmosphere feels neglected and lacks the charm found in more modern zoos. Visitors are better off exploring other attractions in Poznań that offer a more enjoyable and enriching experience.

  • 4/5 Martina T. 4 years ago on Google
    Old zoo as the name suggests. There is another one in town. This one is still worth visiting tho, there's a few animals, including pigs, cows, monkeys, donkeys, tortoises and birds. It's free entry! Only a small fee if you want to visit the reptile pavilion. Playground for children and a shop. Many of the buildings, which date from the 19th century, are being renovated. Plenty of green, good place to sit down and relax.

  • 5/5 Ренат �. 4 years ago on Google

    Easy to access by tram and simple to get around and good for an afternoon. Good for kids aged 4-12 and less physically demanding than the new zoo.

  • 4/5 SunNight 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Currently, the Old Zoo is for me more a park than a zoo, not all cages are occupied and the area is not fully developed. Most of them are small (fish / reptiles / wages / rabbits etc.) and medium type animals, which is a positive aspect, because there is no place for very large animals (as there was once an elephant). The old zoo is worth visiting, especially as a complement to the before / after visit to the New Zoo in Poznań, we can experience a kind of small historical trip, how much has the zoo changed over the years. Constant investments throughout the zoo are also a big plus. (Original) Aktualnie Stare zoo to dla mnie bardziej park niż zoo, nie wszystkie klatki są zajęte oraz powierzchnia nie jest całkowicie zagospodarowana. W większości są to zwierzęta małe typu (ryby/gady/płacy/króliki itp) i średnie co jest pozytywnym aspektem, ponieważ na bardzo duże nie ma miejsca (tak jak kiedyś była słonica). Stare zoo jest warte odwiedzenia szczególnie jako uzupełnienie przed/po wizyty w Nowym Zoo w Poznaniu, możemy przeżyć swojego rodzaju małą wyprawę historyczną jak mocno zmieniło się zoo na przestrzeni lat. Dużym plusem jest również ciągłe inwestycje na terenie całego zoo.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful place to walk, a very atmospheric park. There aren't too many animals, but the entrance to the Zoo is free. Only the reptile pavilion is paid and it is worth visiting! There are komodo dragons, beautiful colorful frogs and a lot of fish. All in all, this old zoo impressed me much more than the new one. (Original) Piękne miejsce na spacer, bardzo klimatyczny park. Nie ma za dużo zwierząt, ale za to wejście do Zoo jest darmowe. Płatny jest jedynie pawilon gadów i warto do niego wstąpić! Są warany z komodo, piękne kolorowe żaby i sporo ryb. W sumie to stare zoo zrobiło na mnie dużo większe wrażenie niż nowe.
