Łódź Zoo, Zoological garden in Zdrowie-Mania, Łódź, Poland.
The Łódź Zoo is a zoological garden in the Zdrowie-Mania neighborhood and holds a large collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, and other creatures from around the world. The park is divided into different zones that represent various habitats, and it includes specialized indoor facilities like the Orientarium with climate-controlled environments.
The zoo was founded in 1938 as a small facility with just a handful of animals on display. After World War II, it was rebuilt and gradually expanded by receiving animals from other Polish zoos over the years.
The zoo serves as a place where visitors encounter animals from around the world and observe how they behave in their daily lives. The exhibits are designed to show how these creatures actually live, rather than simply being on display.
The park is fairly easy to walk through on foot, with paths that are well marked and level throughout most sections. There are several seating areas and spots to rest, particularly helpful if you plan to spend a full day here.
The Orientarium is a large indoor facility spanning multiple levels and features a long underwater passage with water tanks for viewing marine life. Visitors can walk through this tunnel and observe fish and other aquatic creatures up close.
