Warsaw Zoo

The zoo, located in the city center, almost on the very banks of the Vistula, not far from the Śląsko-Dąbrowski Bridge, is one of the most popular holiday destinations for the little residents of Warsaw. This is not surprising, because here you can see live elephants, hippos, bears and many other funny and sometimes scary animals.

The current zoo, which opened in Warsaw in April 1928, was not the first zoo in the city. The custom of keeping strange animals at the royal court or in the residence of wealthy aristocrats existed in Europe for a long time. A private zoo testified to the high position of its owner. It is documented that at the end of the 17th century, King Jan III Sobieski kept a menagerie of exotic animals. In the 19th and early 20th centuries there were several private zoological gardens, but they all soon closed. In 1927, the municipal government decided to establish a public zoo, and soon the Warsaw Zoo was opened.

For several years now, the zoo has had a custom of adopting animals by individual citizens or entire enterprises. Now anyone can take care of one or more animals and pay the costs of maintaining their pet. The names of the adoptive parents can be read on signs next to the cage. Many rare species of animals live and thrive in the zoo. These include pandas, which even gave birth to offspring, and cheetahs, and wild African pigs, as well as elephants, camels, lions, tigers, rhinoceroses and many others.

You and your children will surely enjoy the rich collection of reptiles, some of which resemble small monsters, while others are quite cute. For very young visitors, the zoo has built bright playgrounds, and older children are invited to attend special educational programs held regularly, where they will be told a lot of interesting things about the amazing animal world in an entertaining and accessible way. There are also several pavilions where adults and children can interact directly with animals and even pet their favorite animal. The zoo is open all year round. From 9 am to 6 pm in the summer and from 9:00 to 15:00 in the winter, it awaits its visitors.

Rink Torvar II

One of the most popular places in the city for skating is the Torvar II skating rink, which is part of a huge sports complex. It was conceived as a sports center for training future Olympic champions, where ideal training conditions would be created for athletes representing Poland. Currently, the center focuses not only on the development of professional but also amateur sports, paying special attention to family sports. On a huge territory of 19,000 square meters, designed for 5,000 people, the country's most important sports competitions, grandiose concerts and large-scale exhibitions are held. Unfortunately, the Torvar II skating rink is not open every day, but on Thursday evenings, Saturday and Sunday everyone is invited to skate. Here you can rent skates or sharpen your own.

Warsaw has been the capital of Poland since 1596. During the Second World War, the city center was almost completely destroyed by the Nazis. But after the war it was carefully and with great love restored. Since then, UNESCO has included it in its list of World Heritage Sites as an example of a scientific approach to restoration. However, in addition to restored historical buildings and excellent museums, Warsaw attracts tourists with its picturesque Vistula embankment, cozy cafes, charming architecture of buildings in the city center and even modern skyscrapers that have recently been growing in the capital like mushrooms after rain.

In addition, the capital has a lot of places and a lot of ways to have fun. For example, in the southern part of the Royal Route (Warsaw's main boulevard) there are student clubs that offer a range of cultural activities. These include poetry evenings, single-performer concerts, theatrical performances, as well as jazz and folk concerts. But, nevertheless, the main place in the city’s nightlife is, of course, discos.

The Arco entertainment center is located very conveniently – not far from the city center. Its opening, which took place just a few years ago, was a real gift for all bowling fans. The club is located in a building built in a futuristic style and painted dark gray. It was designed specifically for the club. The interior has predominantly bright red tones. Arco has 32 bowling lanes, which are located on two floors. Both professional and amateur players will not be disappointed in any way, not only by the quality of the state-of-the-art equipment, but also by the highest level of service.

If you are a fan of the sport of ice skating, then you should definitely go to the Torvar II skating rink. This part of the huge sports complex is a very popular place in the city. At one time, it was planned to create a sports center here to train future Olympic champions. Nowadays, not only professionals, but also amateurs can practice here. Particular attention is paid in particular to the development of family sports. The area of ​​19,000 square meters is designed for a total of 5,000 people. Various sporting competitions, large-scale exhibitions and grand concerts are also often held here. You can go ice skating here on Thursday evenings and also on weekends. Skate rentals are available here.

Quite recently, a water entertainment center, “Water Park,” was opened on the territory of the former swimming pool. Immediately after its opening, the park became the most popular place in the city. It is divided into several parts - entertainment and sports complexes, a spa treatment department and a fitness center. The main attraction of the center is the 50x25 meter swimming pool, which meets all current Olympic standards. For the youngest visitors there is a wonderful paddling pool, and for adults who want to enjoy swimming in the open air there is a heated outdoor pool.

Both children and their parents will be interested in visiting the famous Warsaw Zoo. It is located in the city center, not far from the Szpensko-Dąbrowski Bridge, almost on the very banks of the Vistula. For little residents of Warsaw, this is the most favorite place to relax. The zoo is home to elephants, hippos, bears and many other funny animals. There are very rare species, for example, pandas, which even gave birth to offspring here, which is extremely rare in captivity. Cheetahs, wild African pigs, camels, elephants, lions, rhinoceroses, tigers and many others thrive here. Children, as well as adults, really enjoy the rich collection of reptiles, many of which are quite pleasant-looking, while some are more reminiscent of some kind of monsters. For young children, there are special entertainment areas on the territory of the zoo, and older children can attend any of the educational programs in which they will learn a lot about the fascinating animal world.

Disco lovers are invited to the Groundzero club, founded in 1993. Initially, the premises in which the club is now located were intended as a bomb shelter. This is not surprising, since it was the time of the Cold War. The designers approached the design of the club very creatively, thanks to the design and original interior, lighting and professional equipment, the club has become one of the most popular leisure venues in all of Poland. Here, a variety of styles combine very harmoniously with each other. A huge dome sits above the central hall, and shiny metal surfaces made of stainless steel are the main design element. A high level of service, professional equipment and excellent laser light effects - all this taken together contributes to the fact that as many new people as possible come to the club, provided that there are also permanent residents there.

Another giant dance club, “Labyrinth”, its interior is more reminiscent of an intricate labyrinth with mysterious corridors, flights of stairs and endless passages. Dance floors, bars and bowling alleys are distributed quite evenly across all three floors. Each corner has its own special atmosphere and design in a certain style. Aquariums located literally throughout the club, drawings on the walls and luminous inscriptions create a fascinating and mysterious interior. The Labyrinth is considered not just one of Warsaw's dance clubs, but also a place specially created for successful and stylish people.

The only country golf club is located 25 kilometers from the center of Warsaw. The golf course covers an area of ​​65 hectares and is located on the banks of the Vistula, in a picturesque valley. Centuries-old trees and beautiful natural lakes give this place a special charm.

If you suddenly get tired of sightseeing in Warsaw and want to spend a day outside the city, go to the Slucewiek Hippodrome, located literally 20 kilometers from the city center. Visiting the stands and the club, unlike other European capitals, is completely free.

Warsaw is truly beautiful not only for its parks, but also for its diverse cultural life. In it, everyone will find something that suits their tastes and preferences. Fans of opera and ballet will appreciate the performances of the Warsaw Chamber Opera and the National Polish Opera. Fans of theatrical performances can go to the Polsky Theater, the Sabat Theater or the State Jewish Theater.

Until recently, it was not of particular interest to travelers. Most of the tourists who came here were attracted only by ancient architectural monuments, and as for entertainment, this was somewhat difficult. Currently, the attractions in Warsaw are in no way inferior to their counterparts from Western and Western Europe, so you can be sure that you won’t be bored here. In addition, the city authorities are doing everything to interest travelers, so it is gradually throwing away its status as a transit point and turning into a major tourist center.
