• Daily feeding times for gorillas at 12:30pm and 3:30pm, lemurs at 2pm, and sea lions at 1pm and 4pm, so plan the route around them
• Zoolandia rope village with nets, bridges and a zip line for kids over 3, on a separate ticket that lasts your whole visit
• Free parking a 15-minute walk away at Centrum Przesiadkowe Opole Południe on Krapkowicka street; the closer lot on Bolkowska is paid

Opole Zoo covers about 19 hectares of Bolko Island on the Oder, with animals grouped by continent. Kids can watch California sea lions, gorillas, Angolan lions, giraffes, rhinos and red pandas, see ring-tailed lemurs on their own islands, and visit an amphibian pavilion and a stingray pool.

Between enclosures, the Zoolandia rope village has nets, hanging bridges and a short zip line among the trees.
