The Zoological Garden of Polish Fauna, Zoological garden in Myślęcinek district, Bydgoszcz, Poland
Description
The Bydgoszcz Zoo is a zoological garden in the Myślęcinek district that spreads across several hectares within a forest and recreation park, displaying hundreds of animal species in natural-looking settings. The facility houses thousands of individual animals living in spacious areas that recreate their natural habitats.
History
The zoo opened in 1978 with a small collection of animal species that gradually grew over time. Over the decades, animals were brought in from other Polish institutions and conservation programs significantly expanded what was displayed.
Culture
The place focuses on showing and protecting animals native to Poland, with many strictly protected local species in dedicated areas. Visitors can watch local creatures that are otherwise hard to see and learn about the country's wildlife.
Practical
Visitors should check opening times since these vary between seasons, with longer hours in summer than in winter. The place is generally accessible, and you can spend considerable time exploring the different animal areas.
