Silesian Zoological Garden, Zoo in Silesian Park, Chorzów, Poland
The Silesian Zoological Garden extends across 47.6 hectares of land, housing 2,500 animals from 300 different species in specialized habitats and enclosures.
The zoological garden began its operations in 1954 as part of the larger Silesian Park complex, establishing itself as a major wildlife center in Poland.
The educational programs at the Silesian Zoo connect visitors with wildlife through guided tours, knowledge competitions, and interactive exhibits about animal conservation.
The zoo maintains seasonal hours, operating from 9:00 to 18:00 during summer months and adjusting its schedule to shorter hours during winter periods.
The garden features a dinosaur valley displaying 16 full-scale reconstructions based on fossils discovered by Polish expeditions to the Gobi Desert.
