Plock Zoo, Municipal zoological garden in Płock, Poland
The zoological garden in Płock is a large facility along the Vistula River that houses animals from around the world in habitat-style enclosures. The grounds allow visitors to see predators, grazing animals, birds, and aquatic species in settings designed to resemble their natural homes.
The zoo was established in 1951 starting with local species such as deer, bears, and wolves from the surrounding region. Over time, the collection expanded through partnerships and conservation initiatives bringing in animals from distant lands.
The zoo serves as a learning space where school groups participate in hands-on workshops about animal behavior and habitats throughout the year. Visitors can watch keepers interact with animals and share knowledge about the species on display.
The garden is open daily throughout the year, with extended hours during warmer months. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the grounds cover a large area with uneven paths.
The facility includes a specialized aquarium exhibit recreating aquatic environments from different continents, showcasing rare fish species and water-based life forms. These underwater displays offer glimpses into ecosystems that are otherwise difficult to access.
