Traveler reviews
Justyna Ziemlewska-Walczak
★★★★★3 years agoWe found it by accident on our way back to the apartment from the boulevard at the river bank. How amazing it was to see semi-wild animals in the middle of a city and next to a playground for kids. Ours absolutely loved it and insisted that we go back on the next day.
Frank Lenhard
