“A Superb Zoo to visit”

We were forced to stay in Krakow for 4 days longer than originally planned because of the volcanic ash cloud crisis in mid April.
Needing something to do one day we decided to visit the Zoo, although it is poorly advertised. The receptionist at the Antique Apartments where we were staying suggested we took a taxi to "U Ziyada Restaurant" and take in the view from the terrace of this hotel which was reportedly once the HQ and place of Rest and Relaxation for the German High command in WW II. The fare was only 20Zl.
The view over the Vistula River and flood plain was worth seeing. On a clear the Tatra Mountains can be seen. From "U Ziyada" we walked the easily followed 'yellow trail' (ask at the red-brick University building where it starts) through the forest to the Zoo entrance (took about 25 minutes) - look for the yellow band painted on numerous tree trunks.
Krakow Zoo is a REALLY nice place to visit. It takes about 3 hours to see all the exhibits. It is clean and tidy, with good space for the majority of animals (although a few big cats and the chimps are in slightly cramped accommodation). There's a lot of construction work going on for a new giraffe enclosure and re-vamping the elephants area. there are some animals which we've never seen in a UK zoo (for instance, sand cats from Saudi Arabia).
Our only complaint is with the poor provision of toilets for visitors within the zoo itself, just one cubicle for women, one for men, near the otters enclosure. There is a cafe outside the gates, but without toilets, but there is a toilet building 50m down the road (but were closed during our visit).
The bus (route 134) will take you back to Krakow for just 3Zl from the Zoo stopping at the Hotel Orbis Cracovia (within walking distance of the Old Town square).
A thoroughly enjoyable visit - entrance fee 18Zl (concession 10Zl) - Highly Recommended
