    Wow. Excellent place to come see plants and animals from all over the world. We nice cafe, not very busy, and a great attraction for both children and adults. I really recommend coming here! If your also looking for a warm place, then definitely come here. No lines, quite cheap, nothing bad, everything was excellent. Staff were friendly, though the parrots were a bit loud! 5 stars! Definitely coming here again in the future.

    Strong 5 stars for the plants, not so much for the living condition of some of the animals. If, as I suspect there are no funds for improving them, the larger animals could just be removed, the experience would stay just as good. Disagree with the review suggesting 30-45 minutes for a visit, I could have spent 2 hours easily were it not for the closing time. Plant addicts can do 3 by checking out the tags on each plant. Overall a really great visit and a must in Poznań!

    I loved this 100+ years old, massive palm house. A cafe in the middle is a nice surprise.

    This is a great location for adults and children. It will take you about 30 to 45 mins to see the entire Palm House, which includes plants, fish, birds, turtles, frogs, and lizards. Also, there is a coat 🧥 closet to check your coats and coffee shop and tickets are reasonably priced. 🪴 🐠 🐢 🦎 🐸 🐦 ☕️

    Really nice exhibits to walk through and explore different climates in one facility. As a native English speaker, it would be great if the exhibit displays would have English subtext.

    Being that I come from Kenya the tropical plants made me to be nostalgic about home I was able to see some plants that are even native in my country and I was so happy about it One good thing about the place is that there even though there is no tour guide you are able to guide yourself and understand everything There are also the fish inthe aquarium from almost all the parts in the world You can't visit Poznań without coming to this place

    Great place! Amazing plants. Actually, not only plants but also animals. Calm and quiet place. Maybe not totally quiet because of children and families but not loud. There is a discount for students.

    The cafeteria at the end of a journey through the palm house could use an improvement in terms of the seat & table placement, everything is just so clogged. As for the food & drinks available, they’re alright. As for the palm house itself, no objections, highly recommend.

    This place has a variety of plants and fish. It is the biggest palm house I've visited in Poland. It consists of different sections for different climates, and also has a cafe! We've paid 16 PLN each for a regular adult ticket.

  • 5/5 Eddie C. 9 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    Quite good place to spend time with family and hide from the summer heat, and a lot of nice pictures on your camera. Also recommend to visit Cafe there, it's beautiful and you can take some lemonade and give yourself a break :-)

  • 4/5 Ksu P. 7 months ago on Google • 45 reviews
    Great place to visit, but extremely crowded in the evening. Parents with kids are allowing them to mess with fish and plants - thats also not really nice to watch. In general - nice place to make photos and enjoy nature. There is also a small aquarium place and cafe so you can rest after.

    Beautifully created habitats. Great to tour on a rainy Monday when museums are closed.

  • 5/5 Inga M. 9 months ago on Google

    Very nice and compact palm house where you can learn a lot about tropical plants. Also have a nice exposition with aquaria

  • 5/5 Kairra O. 10 months ago on Google
    This is an old palm house and still has a very Victorian-esque feel to it but is quite pleasant to walk around and take photos in. Besides the walkways, every inch of soil has a plant or tree crammed into it, centered on rainforest/tropical and desert species. Every now and then you can find small display cases of special plants with the odd animal (a large frog sits in one) inside, im not sure if I count this as entirely humane as the frog had very little room to move around. The Koi pond was very small and over populated with fish, all of whom thrash and compete at the water's surface any time a person comes by (you can buy fish food in the building's lobby and you can see they're trained to expect food from passers by). There is also a small aquarium and I had the same feeling regarding some of the larger fish there, like the ray that had a tank so small it took up almost 1/3 of the space, just by existing. I know this is an old place but I think people's expectations of animal welfare have moved on since the Victorian period and the animals housed here need to be better considered. Besides the questionable condition of the animal habitats, everything else in the Palm House was a delight to experience. At one point we came across a cactus display where you can buy your own cactus plants, sadly we weren't able to as we had no way to transport it home. There is also a beautiful pond area full of Lilly pads and tiny fish that will nibble on your fingers if you dip them in the water. After a while the trail leads you to a small cafe where you can indulge in coffee, cake, ice creams and so on. It was fairly cheap and the atmosphere inside the cafe was pleasant, surrounded by African and south American curiosities and plants growing around you. However if you want to visit the gift shop you either have to walk all the way back through the Palm House or go out and around the building, back to the front, as the gift stand is next to the ticket area in the lobby of the building. It's small and has a few trinkets to remember the place by but don't expect too much. I found a box of basically carved ebony wood tea spoons which were absolutely delightful, so I took one home. Overall it's a pleasant walk around. It took about 1.5 to 2hrs for us, at a slow walk with a 10 year old, taking photos on the way. Just bear in mind that it is obviously hot inside and very humid in many places (tropical/rainforest environments). We went on a Saturday morning and there were no queues or crowds - there were people there but it didn't impact us in any way.

  • 5/5 Vaidrius S. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremelly worth visiting! So many beautiful plants as well as a huge aquarium for a same ridiculously cheap price - around 3€ per adult. It’s a must to visit!

  • 5/5 Magda P. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Lovely place with some amazing plants. Cafe has some great cakes!

  • 4/5 Shachar M. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazing experience! There were so many rooms and different kinds of plants, and each room was prettier than the one before. There was also an aquarium with many types of fish. The entry costs 12 zloty and it is really worth it! Although, they had explanations about the plants only in polish which was kind of disappointing.

  • 5/5 Maciej N. 3 years ago on Google
    Family time, date, educational path and vis a vis Wilson park. Close to center although closer to the main railway station. It will be a great place for everyone who likes plants and rare/tropical fish. One thing which is worse than in others such places is a raw ground paths. Thus i recommended to have a close shoes.

  • 4/5 Tom H. 3 years ago on Google
    Entry was 12 zloty for adults. There were about ten different rooms of plants (operating a one way system). There are birds, an aquarium, and a huge array of botanical plants. Everything is in Polish.

  • 5/5 Thomas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place even fir adults. There are fish that you can pet :D

  • 5/5 Alina S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great, interesting place independently if you go alone, with family or friends. Many interesting plants (coffee, cacao, vanilla, cotton etc) and animals. Worth visiting!

  • 5/5 shashank s. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful flora and fauna 💯🙂

  • 5/5 Varun M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit on your Poznan trip. Had a good collection of plants and fishes from the world over.

  • 4/5 Antonio J. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place, I spent such a lovely time with my family there! Full of exotic trees, many green leaves and colorful fish. The only bad thing is the place where turtle lives - they should definitely provide bigger place for it 😔

  • 5/5 Pwettie J. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome and well worth the 12 zl. Lots of different kinds of tropical plants to see. I just wish there were English translations for everything since I couldn't read any of the signs myself.

  • 5/5 Joost H. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful palmhouse. It was obvious the workers put a lot of effort and care for their plants. The plants seemed healthy and pretty, and the temperature and humidity were not as pressing as expected. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 4/5 Jo G. 1 year ago on Google
    An interesting and educational unique experience in the city. We spent a couple of hours, primarily to escape the rain, but enjoyed the experience. There's a cloakroom and toilets on site. The Palm House is very hot and humid in places. A small aquarium,exhibiting a variety of fish, on site too. Very cheap entry tickets. No English spoken.

  • 5/5 Beyza H. 2 years ago on Google
    As a nature lover, finding a palm forest in Poznań was a unique experience 🌴💚

  • 5/5 Damian W. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for variety of wild plants and fish

  • 5/5 mira c. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the oldest botanical garden in poland we guess. Old glass houses, lots of plants etc. It touched us when we saw the marking on the sick plant visible black spots on the leaves etc (attention this plant is under the progress of treatment). For us botanical garden is the best choice to go to take a deep rest especially during the winter time or rainy day.

  • 5/5 Anna H. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place! This botanical garden celebrated over 100 years. There is also an aquarium part and cafe in the jungle. Amazing in all ways!

  • 5/5 olesia H. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. Especially an area with butterflies, which you can enter, so butterflies are all around. Plus they also has aquariums with fishes from all place of the world. Worth to visit. One minus: all explanation only is in Polish. But all safety related notifications are in Polish, German, English and Ukrainian. Also they provide a free enterance for refugees from Ukraine

  • 5/5 Lili Bakó (. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning! I really loved this place. They have a great variety of plant species and loads of signs, as well as some small animal exhibits. The fish tanks appeared to be unfit for some of the larger fish species but that's the only negative thing I found.

  • 5/5 Agaatje T. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. This is a great place for a date or a Saturday trip. This place is huge, it takes around 2 hours to visit. There are a lot of aqariums with a lot of different fish. There are also turtles and parrots. If someone would like to drink coffee - there is a cute café. There is also an aisle with butrerflies and a play for kids. The greatest palm house in Poland.

  • 5/5 Lili 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience. You can see a large variety of plants and animals. Although all signs are in Polish, some are very accessible to non-Polish-speaking people and it makes the place a must-go. I paid 12 PLN as a student.

  • 5/5 Bernard O. 1 year ago on Google
    It is great, really. Huge trees and plants, small animals (turtles, fish), warm humid atmosphere of giant greenhouse. I especially liked the new aesthetic nameplates focused on popular plants known from kitchen and supermarkets, like vanilla or avocado. Visit in this palm house is worth a price and I encourage everyone to try.
