Nice zoo with a lot of animals and trees and a very big place to explore. The only bad thing was that they didn't answer to the phone and we couldn't see some animals because the zoo was under construction and they didn't say that in the entrance...Except from that the zoo was super and love the red panda's.
El — Google review
The zoo was nice and the animals were beautiful. The 3 stars rating comes more from the fact that there is a lot to walk but not a lot to see.
More importantly the enclosures for the more exotic animals were quite small and some of the animals were just alone. Like the lioness, the lion and a leopard.... All alone in small enclosures, apart from the lion who had a bit more space but still alone.
This caused them to be quite stressed in my opinion as they were pacing non-stop.
Overall great for kids first zoo experience but an adult will pick up on these not so great things.

By the opinions I've read I would think it's a very friendly zoo for animals; that theirs cages are big and spacious, well kept and tidy. Tbh I was quite disappointed with what I saw and would not visit it anymore. Nice way to spend time but if you care at least a bit about animals it's not a place you would sponsor.
Tickets are cheap, there are some coffee shops and a restaurant in there, lots of WC and an extra paid, short safari route by one of the runs.

It is a nice zoo to visit but it is quite small. Couldn't find some animals that were supposed to be rhere. I think due to some maintenance of their areas. Food places are not that great and it's a terribly long wait time before we were served (40min) u Pandy.

This zoo is huge, we spent 5 hours here. So much greenery, most of the time it felt as if walking in a forrest. Loved the red pandas. Would definitely recommend to visit.
Lots of playgrounds for the kids, benches and water fountains everywhere. There are also lots of zoo maps along the pathways.
You can save some time at the cashier by buying online tickets - they will scan the at the gate.
Bus 104 goes to the zoo from the center, very easy to get there also by car, they have a large parking lot (i think it is paid).

I like this place. It seems they put the animals first as much as they can. I wish some of the animals had more space though. However I am not an expert on animal enclosures so I might be wrong about that.
There are several places for kids to play and many small shops for buying food and drinks. I also like that they have educational posters and activities along the trails.

A nice day out at the zoo with 3 kids and a baby, somewhat spoilt by the bad weather (not the zoo's fault) but the rude staff in the ticket office and the ones flying around the paths in the electric buggies (when there are small kids about).
Still we enjoyed seeing what we could and some of the animals were really exciting for the kids
Also felt you were a lot closer to them, in places, with bamboo poles used instead of perspex glass

A very nice and large zoo. Lots of trees, so the heat is not a problem. You can see here a beautiful and diverse plants and lots of animals and birds. A very good place for a weekend getaway. Ticket prices are okey. Parking at the zoo is paid.

Great place to visit: either with kids, the whole family or just by yourself. Plenty to see and to explore . One day it's not enough and I will definitely come back to see some stuff I was not able to check on my day of the visit. Apart from all the exotic animals and environment there is a playground for kids to have some fun and plenty of places to sit down and rest too. A lot of shops with food and drinks around the whole zoo. If you have never been here and you are around it is worth your time. Generally great place !

What an amazing zoo! We went in the snow and it was so beautiful. It was like we hired it for the day ourselves. Lots of amazing animals that we didn't expect to see such as hippos and leopards. Some great play areas for the kids and some food and drinks stalls and vending machines dotted around the area. The hot chocolate in the machine by the entrance was also delicious. 10/10!
Great price and a great day out!
Joe — Google review
It’s hard to go wrong with a zoo in kids’ minds. Is this one the biggest, coolest one you’ll go to? No, but my six-year-old daughter enjoyed it.
Since we went on a Thursday morning in August during peak season, admission was higher than other months. It cost 260 CZK for both of us to go. Not a bad price for a potentially all-day outing.
The zoo is spread out either long trails that go through woods. That means you’ll walk for minutes without seeing any animals.
The animals themselves are organized around houses where you can walk inside to see them or venture outside since the cages expand to the outside in most cases. They have monkeys, hippos, giraffes, birds, fish, and all the other usual suspects.
Where they stand out are the play areas throughout the zoo with the biggest playground being near the entrance.
There are enough restrooms and snack areas.
Austin Graff — Google review
In my view "garden with animals" would convey the experience which you get. Take the picking package and you will experience even more.
Brilliant spot for the whole day with friends or family. If you desire time for yourself you will also find parts of the garden quiet and private.

We went from Poland to Ostrava Zoo and it was really so nice pig parking and you not wait long to get the tickets for enter .. inside they give you map for the zoo and it’s help you because the zoo it’s really big…you will found many places for rest and for WC and they some restoring if you want eat or drink something… there’s places for kids they can play …the only thing they need to add more animals ..but was really nice day
The Pławniowice palace and park complex, a 19th-century architectural masterpiece adorned with turrets and towers, opens its doors to visitors during the spring and summer seasons. The heritage site boasts of an impeccably preserved exterior surrounded by lush parkland, offering a picturesque view that is definitely worth exploring. However, the interior may not meet one's expectations as it appears to be modern and artificial.
Nice castle, there are not many visitors, so it is possible to take good photos. Worth to visit

It seems some attractions need a bit updating.

A great fun place for all the family. Lots to do for any age.. The food is petty decent too. There is a great variety of fun, with enough space to accommodate everything. Interesting interactive surprises. A very clever way to do it right. Been a number of times and always enjoy it. Downside is not enough staff, so beverage areas were closed and long queues. You must do the train ride!!

Nice place to bring kids, with big open space trougth walking while seeing different prehistoric animal with writing references. Resting places trougth the space to eat and drink. Has also some 3D cinemas with some movies for the kids and some atraccions like a theme park at the end for kids and adults if you like.

Large zoo with a conservation program housing iconic animals on an island in the River Oder.
This zoo is beautiful and big. There is English posting for names and much information in Polish that can be translated with Lens. The ice cream was delicious and very clean place. We spent over two hours and could have spent even more time there. I think we walked nearly 10km during the visit. It is one of my favorites

Great place with different animals. Nevertheless, due to some construction work, it is hard to find a correct path. Signs on the way are inconclusive. I tried to look for and read each signs. I was going round circles for about 15 minutes.

Even better zoo than I imagined. You can see the animals really close. It's really modern, clean, and has beautiful waterfalls and an overall vibe. We went on a rainy day, so there were almost no other visitors besides me and my girlfriend, which made it feel like a private tour. We were there for at least 2.5 hours and still didn't see everything that the zoo had to offer.

A wonderful little zoo which is perfect for families and is well-organized, modern and features a decent array of animals including Gorillas and Tapirs. It is also very affordable and you can see nearly everything within about 2-hours. A great day out - highly recommended!

I loved it! Great selection of animals. Clean environment, organised route to follow but not a necessity, lots of open spaces.
It looks very well though throught. Its not laid in concrete all over. The paths are wide and even. Both food points and toilets are spread evenly across the whole area.
Looking forward to see the new aquatic lifeforms building next year.

Really good experience, can’t complain really! Though it was sometimes hard to view the animals as the cage was very large compared to the number of animals with an outdoor and indoor section. Apart from that wear some good shoes as you’ll be walking for ages.

Really pleasant and well laid out zoo. There is a wide variety of animals here and it's well worth a visit.
Old-world rooms & suites in an 18th-century castle offering a genteel restaurant & a spa area.
Wow! A completely fairy-tale castle, just across the border with Czech. They are still renovating the outside at the moment, but it will be gorgeous when the summer comes around. It was free to walk the grounds and enter the main part of the castle, but there will be paid for guided tours in the summer.

Instructions for parking at arrival could be more clear and more organized. The park is very well taken care of and it's a great place to relax. The castle is not as accient as expected but the tour is beautifully arranged and even the tools of online guide and explanation help understand the history and an addition to the whole experience.
SUNIL KUMAR MAURYA — Google review
There is nothing historical in this place. Don’t recommend to go inside. There is nothing special or authentic. Everything is poorly arranged and decorated not in the style of the original design. Paintings on walls are just awful! Worst way to spend 46 zł. Better to take a ticket only to park zone access.
Anastasia Haiduk — Google review
Guess I was lucky. Booked a single room and got one in the renovated parts of the castle that resembles modern low tier business hotels. The room itself was small but cozy. Everything was spotless and clean. WiFi reception is brilliant.
The hotel and castle give mixed feelings. You can clearly see that it’s a “work in progress”. Given that through the years management is constantly improving on everything it’s fair to say that this place deserves a good grade.
There is no modern day elevator that covers every floor. The rooms are scattered all over the place: I had trouble navigating through the corridors to find my place.
The breakfast menu was very good. Including vegan and gluten free foods.
Hotel staff is helpful and responsive.
It’s not ideal that in order to get to the parking spot one needs to get out of the vehicle in order to press a button to call reception desk. Imagine that in a pouring rain…
It’s promising and I hope it will get to a point were all of the pieces fall into place and this will offer a boutique style experience. It has potential.

I had a meeting with this hotel last month and it was a pleasure. The staff was very warm and the catering service was top notch. I had the best time at the party hall for my friends birthday party.

Get the feeling you’re in Disneyland without going all the way to France. About a 90 minute drive from Wrocław, it’s definitely a good place for a day or weekend trip. There’s a substantial park around the castle, included with a lake. Great place to relax and wind down.

This is a place for those who love Harry Potter or are interested in seeing a fantasy castle. You shouldn't miss this place. Half of the castle is a tourist attraction, and the other half is a hotel where you can stay for as long as you want.
This castle has small shops at the entrance where you can buy souvenirs. The entrance ticket is 38 zloty per person. This ticket includes a castle and garden, which I think is a scam. You also have to pay for parking around 10 zloty.
Overall, this place is a must visit.

We were there for an excursion and dinner, not stayed in the hotel. Fairytale 19th century castle with partially hotel and partially museum with restaurant and cafe. We enjoyed excursion and castle as well as dinner. Could recommend it, especially in the summer when you could enjoy nice garden and lake nearby.

The back looks great but the fountain is also not working. I was told they will complete the renovations by December 2022. The inside is amazing, but very few original pieces survived after Soviets destroyed everything. Still a great place to visit. I will definitely go back in 2023!
Rahul Singh — Google review
This castle with its 99 towers really looks like a fairytale. Surrounded by a vast area with old trees and a playing fountain, it makes a huge impression on visitors. The castle is actually a palace that belonged to the Tiele-Winckler family. The castle survived World War II, but during the occupation by the Soviet Army, the interiors were destroyed and many paintings and sculptures were taken away. Now the castle is open to the public. A hotel and restaurant have been operating here since 2013.

Superb place for a visit, castle has been renovated and it gives, looks like from fairy tale. Tour is not long, would say it takes an hour but it's worth it, some rooms are massive and give a scale how this place used to be.
Park and fountain are another gems: there is even a music. Very clean, polite service, they even have restaurant inside if you are into having a meal in posh - and I mean it - environment, but didn't have time to do it.
Highly recommend.

While planning for visiting this castle didn't expect a lot. When arrived to the parking lot there were many tourists, which is the good sign of the popularity of this place. Castle is renovated few years ago, some works are still continue at backyard. It looks really nice. Different architecture styles, good park for short walk. Cafe and restaurant inside of the building. Part of the castle is functioning as a hotel. Lovely place to spend few hours.
Serge Kasianik — Google review
I didn't stay at the hotel but visited the garden and the rooms.
The castle is very beautiful however be aware that the walls are not stones but an imitation with concrete. The few rooms available for visit are nice despite many decorations for Harry Potter events might bother you if you were more interested in the historical side if the castle. The gardens are very nice to have a walk, and the grass around the fontains perfect to chill
Clément Masson — Google review
I am allowing for the fact it is an old castle building however the beds should be made up but weren’t, the mattress was stained! the garden area while told it was open eventually was unlit and only accessible via the front door, there was no bin or fridge in the room and no ventilation / fan supplied. Service was also poor as originally told the garden was closed but then it was open if I was only drinking 🤷♂️ the castle itself and grounds should mean it is a great place to stay however I would 100% avoid as accommodation.

This has got to be the saddest place on earth.
The extortionate ticket price does not include half of the attractions (even the most expensive ticket is not all-inclusive). Everything other than the water park is run down, broken, dirty, or simply weathered by time. All the animals except ostriches are cheap plastic replicas (not even realistic ones), and the ostriches looked so depressed that I'm sure they followed me around the fence asking me for help.
The 7D cinema is a shack, with some cheaply-made animations and moving chairs and water sprays that don't align with the film. The rope park was not included in the ticket price and looked so unsafe I would not have gone on it myself, let alone let my children on. The 'educational' attractions don't appear to have received any maintenance or cleaning since they were installed (probably 20 years ago). Many are broken, all are dirty. The 'amphitheatre' has burnt down, and the charred rubble is now crumbling into the lake.
The one redeeming feature of this place was the water park. It's adequate. However, to get to the water park, you have to take a convoluted path, and the hotel owners make it intentionally difficult to access, even if you are by entrance for hotel guests. Under no circumstances can you buy food to have by the pool.
Overall, this place was expensive, and falling apart. The business will no doubt go under in the next two years. I would recommend the owners just pack it in now, rather than perpetuate their own misery, let alone that of the staff and disappointed guests.

Don't waste your time and money to go here! I never have been to such an outdated and poorly maintained park.
World's biggest inflated castle wasn't inflated, the 7D cinema posters were better then the real thing, the carousel was not online, as well as the big balloon.
You had to pay for a child to play in a small indoor playground.
All the other things that were open were outdated, poorly held and colored over the years.
A total waste of your time and money, a big disappointment!
Tijmen van Binsbergen — Google review
I am not familiar with this protoslavic hamlet of Rosenau, but most of the attractions seemingly fondly remember better days. I didn't feel comfortable letting our kids play with half the equipment, either because it looked unsafe by design or by virtue of wear and tear. The other half was out of order. Generally, the attractions were borrowed from other South Polish theme parks - reminiscent of Krasiejow, Zloty Stok, the science garden in Krakow - a painful reminder of the days out that were far more enjoyable for us.
The aquapark part - which cost us approximately an extra £10 per participant (60 PLN) was meant to be the saving grace, only there were no lockers, so one of the adults had to sit in the scorching sun (the ticket/wristband inspector asked us to vacate the only seat under a parasol) watching the bags.
Overall, would not recommend, unless visiting Poland for its postsoviet vibes

Guided tours & exhibits in a former gold mine, with subterranean boat rides & a waterfall.
I highly recommend visiting Kopalnia Złota w Złotym Stoku, where the rich history of gold mining comes to life. Additionally, don't miss the opportunity to go rafting with Mr. Marian – a captivating and lively guide who adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring the mine on boat.

A dull experience.. Everything is in Polish so tourists from other countries can’t understand anything. Half of the mines experience is a cringe walk looking at skeleton dummies, the other half is interesting ok, but nothing crazy.

This place is awesome, I would recommend this for anyone. There are 2 parts of the tour a quick view of the lower section then a hike up to the second section around the mountain by the ziplines, then you go through and end up at the main entrance.

It was a very nice and educational experience. Our tour guide Blazej and the Grinch made it even more fun for the kids and they interacted with them very well. Sad to note that there is no more gold there as I was expecting to go home with some samples but at least I got new knowledge about the history of mining in Poland.

My family and I recently visited the Złoty Stok Gold Mine and found it to be a unique and engaging experience. Our knowledgeable guide brought the mine's rich history to life, making the tour truly captivating. However, due to the time of year, many local shops were closed, and the number of accessible corridors was somewhat limited compared to the extensive Wieliczka Salt Mine. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Złoty Stok Gold Mine is a fascinating attraction for history enthusiasts and families, but I recommend planning your visit during a busier season to fully enjoy the town and its offerings.

Very good place for one day trip from Wroclaw. Both kids and adults can enjoy. Train ride, slide at one section, Animation set up of entering the ghost place are amazing. The guides are amazing. Medival mining village and ochrowa adit are also good. It's worth the visit if you buy the golden ticket for 67 zl(adults) and 49zl (kids). Also lot of restaurants outside the place. Food is tasty too. I highly recommend this place to visit.
The only improvement I would suggest is though lot of foreigners are visiting the place, it will be helpful if they have atleast one or two guides who can explain in English.
The Wrocław Africarium is a large zoological garden and oceanarium that contains exhibits of over 1,000 different animals from Africa. It is one of the oldest working zoos in Poland, and open all year round. The zoo also has an exhibit devoted to the flora and fauna of the Dark Continent, which are unique on an international scale.
A excellent place to spend with your family; The kids loved it; Various animals and everything is so near, you think you can touch the animals by hand; the Zoo is arranged very cleverly and the numerous signs everywhere help you find everything conviniently and enjoy your visit; The price is not cheap - but it is worth the money;

A part of Wrocław ZOO (you can go in on a regular ZOO ticket). It's really worth it. There are tunnels inside aquariums, hippos, seals and free birds flying around. Mind you it's meant to mimic African climate so it's hot and humid inside. If I were to complain about something it's that the modern building doesn't really fit the historical buildings in the rest of the ZOO

The overall planning is good. There are some facilities to assist children and drinking water. Although some enclosures are empty or under renovation, it does not affect the knowledge about animals conveyed here, and it can be seen that the animals are well taken care of. I really like the pavilion of cold-blooded animals and mimicry, but it was a pity that it closed too early and I couldn't finish it.

This is a must-see spot for people travelling to Wrocław with their family. The transportation by tram is easy from the city center. The building is right by the ZOO’s entrance. It houses all kinds of fish, mammals, birds and reptiles. There is a large seal and pinguin sanctuary. The restaurant resembles a passenger ship and offers a nice top view to see the penguins. It can get crowded on weekends. It is definetely worth checking out. Kids love it!!!!

We've spent literally hours there and I would gladly spend even more time. It's a tremendously well thought out and built attraction where you can watch animals in ab environment very close to their natural one. There are beautiful views including a tunnel over which sharks, turtles and other creatures freely swim. I loved the experience immensely.

This was an experience I'd remember for all my life.
I saw how a giant hippo was swimming under the water. It was amazing!
The atmosphere when you're inside the giant aquarium is unforgettable.
I wish I could spend a few hours every day there. It's like meditation.
The kids were happy too.
I highly recommend this place to all Wroclaw visitors.

The Africarium in Wrocław adds another layer of excitement to the city's zoo experience!
This specialized section immerses visitors in the wonders of African aquatic life. With a separate admission fee, it's a unique opportunity to explore marine ecosystems showcasing African flora and fauna. The interactive exhibits, informative displays, and vibrant marine life contribute to an educational and visually stunning journey.
Whether you're fascinated by underwater worlds or simply seeking a captivating extension to your zoo visit, the Africarium is a must-see attraction in Wrocław.

A bit crowded, best part of Wroclaw Zoo without this one probably I would count the visit as mistake. All water attractions looks a bit dirty - don’t know if it’s a matter of water or dirty glass. Should be addressed by Staff as it breaks animal experience for everyone. Under aquarium tunnel and under water windows makes great experience - zoo should somehow control amount of people- crowds all over this attraction makes difficult any movement around.
Kamil NOWAK — Google review
Very clean ZOO with great aquarium. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the water and glass. The part where you can sit and just relax is a great idea. Though not sure how it will be during busy times. Definitely will recommend everyone to visit. For sure, nothing is perfect, but I left with 5 star feeling. Haven't eaten there.
Jakub Tomka — Google review
Some places of the zoo are really nice and animals look well taken care of, but we were disappointed with the monkeys. They were all stressed, angry or depressed looking, and that building where there is one old chimpanzee sitting behind bars on a bathroom like floor is really sad. Looks like zoos from the 60s or something. This Zoo definitely needs more reconstructions and enrichment for animals. Please don't let those poor monkeys suffer.

It's a really amazing zoo. Plan an entire day for your visit here to spend time seeing all the animals and birds.
The aquarium is the highlight.
Parking close by. Restaurants present inside the zoo.

It's such a huge zoo that it took me 4 hours to get around it completely...I highly recommend going on Friday to see the wolves before 12:00 noon! Because we were not warned and didn't see them there. You should also get your tickets online because there are long lines.
Anita Mildrade — Google review
Definitely the best zoo I have ever visted, the size of this location is massive meaning that there is a lot to visit and see. It's one tram away from the center of the city and takes you directly to the front entrance.
There is an entering free but definitely worth the visit. As many of my photos suggest there was a lot to take in, and even then I was only able to see half the zoo leaving the other half for my next visit.
Dave Duesberry — Google review
A lovely day at the zoo.
Lots to navigate and a delicious finale at the bistro.
It seems most animal are well cared for, with the exception of some with small areas to roam. The birds seem distressed and unhappy and I think the monkeys are plotting a coup to overthrow the management staff.
Otherwise, a lovely experience.

Zygmunta Wróblewskiego 1-5, 51-618 Wrocław, Poland
The Panorama of the Battle of Raclawice is a 360-degree painting of the 1794 battle, which commemorates the Polish victory against Russia. It features the city of Wroclaw and surrounding areas, as well as maps and videos providing context.
Fabulous 360 degree panorama depicting scenes from this famous battle. The central circular platform provides very good viewing and it's been created in such a way that the ground between the canvas and the viewing platform becomes part of the Battle scene and merges into the canvas creating an almost 3D effect. It's useful to pick up an audio guide which takes you through and explains the scenes depicted in this huge painting. Sessions every 30 minutes, I didn't book in advance but went early. This is a very popular attraction.
Miles Macdonald — Google review
Interesting place, amazing huge picture and story, but a bit too long story, if you are not passionate about history, you might get lost after 10 minutes or so....
Maybe they could show a bit the restauration process or something else to make it more attractive.
Lots of kinds came to visit with schools and they seems to be bored very fans and they become noisy, constantly disturbing you from the story.
Four stars for this unique beautiful picture, it is worthy to see it.

Well worth a visit. You have to see it in person to actually appreciate the incredible amount of detail as well as the work done in blending the painting into the real foreground.
Gary Bennett — Google review
I was very interested to see this Panorama as it is the second of that kind that I see and the other one is in my home town Pleven, Bulgaria. If not other, it is an amazing piece of art and it shows an important historic al moment. It's sad that it is the only one that survived in Poland. Buy tickets in advance, when we came to the desk it turned out that we could buy tickets for no earlier than the next day.

A fantastic history lesson. Very well organised and translations available. The panoramic is amazing.
G — Google review
I am not a war watching sort of person, this is an art experience above anything else. I found this truly wonderful and personally don't think it should be missed.
I figure you know your own kids well enough, though most kids should be okay with this relatively short tour.
As this is popular don't rock up and expect to just get in. I would suggest booking online is essential.
Finally to make the whole experience more pleasant here are some tips
- bring your water
- ensure your phone is turned to mute.
- toilets are clean, get there early and go.
- Language kit's should be planned for.
- Grab a seat while waiting as limited seats
- Don't worry about the long queue stay seated and be last.

Very interesting and beautiful - many languages available for the presentation. The history of how Poland protected this gem from destruction during WWII was fascinating.
Beth Meeker — Google review
Very interesting piece of history, it's worth the 10-15 minute walk from the center of Wrocław to go and experience the 360° live panorama with amazing sound system making it insanely realistic.
The history behind this is very facinating and I definitely recommend researching into the creation of this museum as it's not as straight forward as you would expect. It's good for all age groups, definitely recommend if you're visiting Wrocław.
Dave Duesberry — Google review
Interesting place to visit.
However not very organized.
The place is numbered on the floor and the visit doesnt follow this sequence making it difficult to understand what is being described.
The balcony is very low and it is hard to stand for 30 minutes not leaning to anything, specially after a full day of visiting the city.
After the narrator finishes the story you are rushed outside of the building, when you would expect to stay at least more 10 minutes to admire the painting.
Rui Pinho — Google review
An absolute must see when you are in Wroclaw. The scale and quality of the panorama is of course impressive, but it is matched by the purpose built rotunda and the physical landscape that merges seamlessly with the artwork. Tours are every half hour so you get 30 minutes in the rotunda and are guided by an audio description of the battle. Make sure you grab a free audio guide if you don't speak Polish.

Upon first inspection I thought the price was going to be a little too high for the outcome, but once inside I realized that was not the case. The painting and the way it blends into “real-life” is quite incredible. The story behind it was actually my favorite part and I highly recommend acquiring the audio guide in your language to aid in your understanding. I can’t imagine the work that went into this absolute masterpiece, especially given it was created in the 1800’s. An absolute must see in Wroclaw.
Llamo — Google review
Unique opportunity to see panoramic painting of Battle of Raclawice.
There are just a few of those paintings around the world, so if you are in Wroclaw, it's a must-see.
Book your tickets online in advance. If you try to buy walk-in tickets, it's very likely that you will have to wait for your time slot for at least an hour.
Don't come too early. You will have to stand in the hall in a kind of awkward crowd as nobody manages the queue. If you have a big bag/backpack, you can leave it for free in the cloakroom.
Visiting rotunda takes 30 minutes. Entrance slots are every half an hour. Staff checks tickets and lets the whole group inside the rotunda. There is an audio guide played through speakers when you are inside the rotunda, but I recommend getting a personal free audio guide available from staff once you enter Rotunda. That will let you see painting at your own pace, not following the rest of the group moving around in a crowd.
Marcin Zawislak — Google review
Note that this is a guided talk for the painting about 20 minutes. You need to book a few hours in advance, this place sells out each tour. The tour runs every 30 minutes and there is no other way to see the painting (the tour is worth it).
This is an amazing painting. One of the most profound experiences I've seen. Highly, highly recommended -this is an art piece like nothing I've seen before and with an exceptionally high wow factor.
Par Botes — Google review
Its a great place for the history lovers, the painting is almost 15 m long and it depicts the battle of Raclawicka in a great manner.
There will a tour of 30 minutes which includes commentary in different languages, you can choose as per your choice.

Visiting the Panorama of the Battle of Racławice is akin to stepping back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history, captured on an epic scale. This amazing piece of historic treasure offers an immersive experience that is both educational and awe-inspiring. The overall tour lasts approximately 30 minutes, a perfect duration to appreciate the grandeur without feeling rushed. However, a hidden gem not to be missed is the mini panorama view on the ground floor, which provides a unique perspective and adds depth to your visit.The painting itself is nothing short of breathtaking. The level of detail, the scale, and the way it captures the essence of a significant historical event are truly remarkable. This attraction is universally appealing, making it a must-visit for history buffs, art lovers, and anyone looking to experience a unique piece of cultural heritage. The Panorama of the Battle of Racławice is not just a painting; it's a powerful reminder of the past, presented in a way that is accessible and engaging for all.
Bart Kulaga — Google review
It is a great museum. You can enjoy the Panorama with explanation by favored language.(I used Japanese.) There are many option of language and you can choose whichever you want. From this Panorama, you can learn the history of Poland which is related to Russia. It is worth to go.
Daiki Morita — Google review
It is a great painting. However, I was mislead by the impression of it being animated something of the battle, so at the moment I was disappointed. Also the exhibition is in polish, if you want to know what they're saying, you have to ask the nice lady to give you translation device, which for whole 30 minutes you have to annoyingly hold like a phone to your ear....but in the end, it was beautiful.
Kateřina Puklová — Google review
I think I'm really a fan of panoramas like this. Unlike ones I've seen in the DPRK, Syria and France, this one isn't viewed from a motorised central seating area, but you can walk around, (with an audioguide if you don't speak polish). This one is however much older (19th century, although in great nick). It commemorates a dramatic, but ultimately fruitless victory by a (largely) peasant polish army over the russians and is full of romantic and dramatic scenes of hussars, cossacks, tartars and the like slaughtering each other and/oor charging artillary, as well as details like the peasant extinguishing the fuse on a cannon with his hat The uniforms are exactly what you imagine when you think of dashing cavalry. Downstairs there is a section that explains, alternately, the story of the painting itself and the wider story of the battle, though the latter is a bit hard to follow for non polish speakers. Technically I think it is a masterpiece of realism, and the way the foreground melds into the painting is very impressive. NB I think the ticket here gets you into the nearby National Museum (which is also very good) for free.

There are 2 exhibitions, the painting and a multimedia presentation. You can listen to the commentary on the painting in several languages but the multimedia is only in Polish.

Jana Ewangelisty Purkyniego 11, 50-155 Wrocław, Poland
Ostrów Tumski, also known as Cathedral Island, was once an island and is now the oldest part of Wrocław, originating from the 10th century. To reach this area, visitors must cross the Tumski Bridge on foot, which connects with Wyspa Piasek island over the Oder River. The Gothic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was constructed in the 13th century and is centrally located amongst museums, monuments, gardens and churches.
The Rynek is an expansive and charming medieval marketplace, featuring a vast cobblestone pedestrian-only path leading to its central square. The area is lined with quaint shops and stunning historic architecture, adding to its picturesque beauty. Visitors can stroll along the paved walkway, taking in the sights and sounds of this bustling hub of activity. Its enchanting atmosphere offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this unique destination, making it a must-see for anyone seeking an authentic European experience.
The Slaughtered Animals Monument in Wroclaw is a unique and interesting place to visit. Located near handcraft shops and popular pubs, the monument pays homage to the animals that were traded for meat in the Middle Ages. The sculptures serve as a reminder of the historical market practices where only "clean" produce could be traded at Rynek and Colth Hall, leading to the trading of meat at a distance.
Interesting place to go in Wroclaw.
The memorial to Slaughtered Animals in Wrocław.
In the Middle Ages, this place was a terrible place for animals💀, but a pretty good place to buy meat 🍖.
Now you can find some nice little shops...
Max MLE — Google review
Despite the handcraft shops that there are to be discovered and one of the pubs with popular «pub quizs», you will undoubtely notice the animal sculptures.
They were placed there as an hommage to them, but not because they were heroes or something like this... In an earlier time when the Rynek and the Colth hall were used as a market place, not every produce could be traded there, but those supposed clean. It meant that meat had to be selled and bought a bit farther. Thus little street not far was the chisen place. In fact just in front of the animals you will still find the wood doors on the floor were merchants kept the meat (and themselves) underground to offer it to the people passing by without spreading their smell.

The arboretum is a must go place to visit if you like the outdoors, there is something for everyone here! With its breathtaking views rich history and beautiful gardens to be explored this is a treasure trove for nature lovers and photographers alike. They also offer seasonal fruit picking unfortunately I was a little late for my own visit but its a lovely touch.
You will also find all sorts of birds and insects on your travels here. With there rich flower gardens, pathways through the tree's and water feature gardens.
If hiking isn't your thing they also have scope to hold great party's with there open roofed fire pits with covered seating creating a magical atmosphere to enjoy an open flame with friends with whilst in the stunning gardens!
But if cooking your own food on the flame isn't your thing and you don't want to bring sandwiches from home there is a beautiful restaurant in the main courtyard where you can order food and get refreshments from the bar.

A great place to visit to walk among beautiful flowers. But I am told May is the best time when they are in full bloom. You could easily spend half a day here. Bring some food if you want to cook over a barbecue. You can buy food but the queues are long. There's a fun game for children to collect stamps dotted around the place. But this is a place to relax and enjoy the sun. But that's where it's appeal ends, as not sure what you can do in any other type of weather.

The Arboretum Wojsławice is a stunning botanical garden that offers visitors a chance to explore a vast array of plants and flowers. In addition to the large themed gardens, the Arboretum also features a beautiful cherry garden that is sure to take your breath away. With its pathways, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning natural beauty, the Arboretum Wojsławice is the perfect place to relax and unwind amidst the cherry blossoms. There is a small exhibition of mineral rocks along one of its pathways.
One of the unique aspects of the Arboretum Wojsławice is that it is not a plain garden, but instead, it features rolling hills that add to its natural beauty. The undulating terrain creates a more dynamic and visually stunning landscape that visitors will surely appreciate. Whether you're exploring the themed gardens or admiring plants in the greenhouse, the Arboretum's hills provide a unique backdrop that enhances the overall experience of the garden. So visitors should be prepared for some uphill and downhill walking, but the effort is well worth it.
Another great feature of the Arboretum Wojsławice is the abundance of places to rest and relax throughout the garden. From benches to picnic areas, visitors can take a break and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The Arboretum Wojsławice truly has something for everyone to enjoy. My family and I had a wonderful time there.
Kłodzko Fortress, constructed during the mid-17th century under Austrian rule, is the largest and most well-preserved fortification of its kind in Poland. The fortress covers 17 hectares and boasts walls that measure up to 11m thick in some areas. It has a rich history and offers visitors underground tunnels, night tours, historical re-enactments, and cannon displays.
Interesting place for 1h walk. Parking 4 zl/h at entrance or free around. Amazing how massive walls were hundreds years ago.

The Underground City Osówka is a fascinating tourist attraction located in the Ani plateau, characterized by hundreds of caves that have been carved out over time for various purposes such as dwellings, animal shelters, churches and pigeon houses. Among these caves are a network of tunnels and rooms built during WWII by Nazi slave workers, whose purpose remains unknown to this day. While the research on this underground city has been limited, visitors can explore it with a guide who shares stories about its history and significance.
An adventure and a mystery. We were guided for over an hour through the underground tunnels built to unknown purpose in the WWII. I enjoyed the stories told by our guide - clearly passionate about the topic.

Another architectural marvel from the Nazis tucked in the vastness of Sowie Mountains in the Sudetes. The sheer brilliance and location of the underground location is a testimony to the fact that they were way ahead of the time. But the atrocities inflicted upon the enslaved people is way beyond our comprehension. Osówka is one of the complexes of project Riese initiated by Hitler during WWII. The location of the underground complex says it all, and there is no way you can even see it from a distance. It's amazing. Don't miss it when you are around

Very interesting place! Did both tours. The "special" tour is only in Polish and will take you through the flooded part of the tunnels. Its approximately 200m in the dark but you get a flashlight along. This is the only extra compared to the normal tour
The normal tour is with an audio-guide in English, French, German or Czech. Together with the guide you'll walk trough the illuminated tunnels. At every stop he tells something in Polish and as a non Polish person you can listen to the audio-guide.
Both tours take app. 50 minutes.
The guides speak a bit of English so you can ask them for some extra info.
After the tour is finished you can walk up the mountain to see the casino and the ruins. An intense but nice walk.

Look, you've got to give credit to the work that is done here to enable people to visit these underground structures.
The place breathes history and learning (again) what these slave labourers had to endure can only bring tears to your heart. But seeing what they had to do with your own eyes, standing right there, makes it even harder. It is a must do when you are around, just to make the horrors of war slave labour more tangible. Something that we may not forget.
That being said, there are some elements that could improve. Though it seemed that the Polish guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a lot of detail, it is not the case for the English audioguide. Clearly, there was information lacking, stories that we've missed (even references to spiders living in the underground complex) and stories shortened. The movies displayed were well-translated, but the rest not so much. Other visitors with audioguides clearly had a similar experience as we were standing to up to 10mins just waiting around.
I would recommend visiting the halls below Ksiaz Castle for a better audioguide experience in English on the Riese project. However, the complex itself is more impressive at Osowka.
Maybe do both!

On that day they didn't have an english speaking tour guide, we called before and asked what options we have. My partner is british so that time he had to take headphones. Information given on headphones where briefed. We thought he missed a bit of interesting information, which I had to tell him later. We recommend to always have a guide. We chose "history tour" option, but there are few more to choose from. Overall we loved it

Normally, I don't fancy visiting churches and cathedrals. It's true, they are typically the oldest and the most monumental buildings around. But having seen many of them you get the experience of "yet another one of those" kind.
This church is different.
One thing is it's history (why it was build in that place and with this technique). Another is a very different than usual aesthetics of the place. It is as impressive inside as it is outside. Then you have all the buildings around.
It is really the place to visit in Swidnica.

This church is absolutely stunning!!! It is the monument from the UNESCO World Heritage List, Monument of History, the largest wooden Baroque temple in Europe!!!, one of the seven new wonders of Poland according to "National Geographic". Lutheran community, was to build the church only outside the city walls, without towers and bell tower, only from perishable materials: wood, sand, straw and clay. It couldn't look like a church, and it couldn't have been built for more than a year. It was to be a very modest church that was not to stand the test of time. But it still lasts :))

One of two churches in Lower Silesia Region present on UNESCO list of monuments , one name given to both - Churches of Peace. Both of wooden construction, very richly decorated. Very interesting buildings. Must see on the list of real globetotter.

It was closed on August 15th, but we just stopped by as we were passing through the same road from ksiaz castle to Wroclaw. The surrounding was open and we could get some idea about history of the church through the boards installed. The wood feels and smells really old. There's a cemetery right next to the church in the same compound. Couldn't give more details because we couldn't get inside.

Had no plans to visit here. Just followed Tourist Attraction signs we found on way to Wroclaw Airport.
Were disappointed to find we could only access the grounds. But then....local explained slowly we should wait a few minutes. Lucky we saw him as the guide arrived to open the church at 10AM.
Not bad for a mid-December visit!
Useful pamphlet in English helped, with the audio presentation.
Stunning, incredible 17th Century religious iconography.
To build something like this, from perishable materials (meant to last a short while only) and to have it still open and accessible today is a wonder.
Well worth UNESCO status and well worth visiting.

Amazing amazing amazing. Did I say that this was one of the most amazing churches in Europe. I am truly amazed by this place. When you walk in the door you will see a counter you have to pay an entrance fee to enter. They give you a piece of paper in your language. The guide they gave me was in English. Unfortunately I had a difficult time reading it as it was not very grammatically correct. Other than that it was just a wonderful place. I can honestly say that I've been to hundreds of churches in Europe in this ranks in the top 10 easily. One of the things that I liked is while you're in the church there are explanations of each different section of the church with descriptions of the passages and what the different paintings mean. The announcements are in different languages to include English which was a lot better than the guide. Please take a look at the pictures because this place is incredible. The grounds around the outside are also very unique and there's several cemeteries around the church itself. I highly highly recommend this church

The Church of Peace... a very large church that was built in the 17th century despite of many restrictions. The church is built of wood, clay, sand and straw. The decoration inside is something incredible
Książ Castle, the largest castle in Lower Silesia, is a grand chateau-style complex situated on a hill overlooking the river Pelcznica and part of the Waldenberg mountains. Originally built in 1288 and expanded in the 16th century, it showcases Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo architectural styles. The castle offers guided tours with informative audioguides that seamlessly lead visitors through its rich history and art gallery.
This is a lovely castle, with a lot of history. Much of the interiors are unadorned compared to what they were, but the setting is stunning. It feels like stepping back in time, especially in the fall. There are paths to walk the grounds and access from the road is simple and scenic.

This is a beautiful castle with a lot of history. When you go in and purchase the ticket they give you several options one with the tour of the Underground included and I would recommend going that route as the tour underground is also very good. They will give you an audio guide that will walk you through the whole castle and give you the history and events that transpired through the years. The tour takes about the proximately 2 hours to complete with the audio guide and I like the way they set up their audio guide as you can skip ahead to something that interests you a little bit more which is a nice touch. The audio guide is location based. There is so much to see here and what I especially liked was the turn of the century pictures of everyday life. Some of the places in have amazing views of the surrounding Countryside and of the Immaculate Gardens. The gardens around the castle are just beautiful unfortunately the day I was there it was raining.

Did both the castle and the underground tour. As non-Polish speakers, we're very impressed by the audioguide. Works seamlessly as you walk through the castle and exhibition. Very much intrigued by the family history and a lot of information is provided. We spent hours, so make sure to have enough time if you want to visit other sights as well. Also with the underground tour, we didn't feel left out with the audioguide. All in all a very fun, informative day. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing place, stunning huge building's perfectly maintained. Best audio guide I've ever had which knew which room you were in and automatically told you what was there, then directed you to the next place. Stunning national stud stables and the palmery. Plus the underground Project Reise tunnels. Food and drink were very reasonable also.

A really historic Castle that has been well maintained. The surrounding area of the Castle is well maintained too. It was great to see the old mines, the Stud Stables & the Palm House aswell. All the staff were helpfull & friendly. The toilets were kept clean & maintained well. The Castle grounds were kept well & there were good directions around the Castle. Overall a good day out for the whole family. 👍👌😁💥

Castle Ksiaz... there are a lot of things which I can write here about this castle. But surely it is just impossible to tell all interesting things about this castle here.... it is much better to open Wiki or other sources and read, there is a lot of interesting information including medieval history, Hitler's "golden trains" and many others. Or you must come, take an audio guide (included into entrance fee) and see & listen.... there are a lot of very interesting stories, there are many unsolved secrets even now. Enjoy the castle, the subterranean, the magical terraces...

Ksiaz Castle in Poland is an awe-inspiring gem! The castle's rich history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views make it an unforgettable experience. With over 400 rooms and a sprawling 316 hectares of grounds, Ksiaz Castle is a true marvel. Its grandeur and charm captivate visitors, while the surrounding landscape adds to the enchantment. A must-visit destination!

The price of the ticket is worth paying. Huge area to see. They gave an audio guide that automatically switches while you changing different halls. The audio guide is available in a few foreign languages. Parking is overpriced: next to Castle the price is 30 pln, further - 20 pln. And when you enter the castle there is a toilet with an entrance fee - 5 pln, which in my humble opinion should be included in the price of the ticket. Overall it is a great place to spend a day with a family or loved ones.

This is a unique and interesting castle, a must visit - but stay away during public holidays. I had a misfortune to visit during May holidays - and was extremely disappointed. It is a pity that this beautiful historic place does not have a strong advocate to resist showcasing yard furniture as an advertisement in a museum! This place deserves better.

Very stunning castle. Interesting to see how it expanded over the centuries. During second world war germans dig out the tunnels under the castle, no one knows what purpose it was.
Rooms in the castle decorated very nicely. Audio guide was really good, so much history there. We couldn't go to the gardens as it was closed due to being off season though. Definitely recommend visiting.

We just visited the castle from outside as we didn't have enough time to go for a tour. There's an individual or combined ticket for castle, palm house and the undergrounds. Car parking is not free after the security guard, unless you're visiting the castle hotel. You can park it in the open parking space before the security guard for free. There is an ice cream shop near the castle which is a necessity in hot summers. Not sure if there's any restaurant though. There's a small vertical sprinkler through which you can go to refresh yourself in hot weather. You can visit Viewpoint too, which is a small walk type trek for 15 minutes. There's a fresh corn stick seller, each for 8 PLN. You can bring park stuff (mats, food, play items etc) also for relaxation. There are a lot of gardens and you can sit anywhere. The place is definitely worth a day trip.

I enjoyed this place a lot. Very good destination to spend your weekend. Picturesque hiking routes of different difficulty level, underground tunnels of the third reich. I didn't enjoyed a lot the castle interiors, but from the outside it's probably the most beautiful castle I've ever seen. At the moment they have a very interesting photo exebition of the last chef. And nice cafe inside the castle (unfortunately you can visit it only when you are visiting the castle interiors, when we wanted to have a coffee there the next day after excursion, we were told that we should by ticket to the castle)

A self-paced tour of the castle was amazing! I was lucky to visit right before the Christmas decorations were going to be taken down, so it was twice the awe and pleasure.
Everything is so nicely organised, with the cheerful staff meeting you at the ticket desk, and then - second surpise with the Polish museums on this trip - a cloakroom employee kindly offering me a Ukrainian audio guide. Great thanks to the Castle team!
The exhibitions are a wonderful combination of the family history of the castle owners, of the Polish and world history impacting Ksiąz and its residents, and some terrific works of art.
It is also very efficient to have a "smaller tour" and a "broader tour with the family stories", so that you can choose what to listen to, also in terms of time available.
I listen to everything and loved it.
I learned a lot about the underground of Ksiąz and visited the Palm Garden 5-min drive away from the Castle (included in the ticket), with a huge collection of plants.

We Visited Ksiaz Castle in Mid of May, a very enjoyable and memorable trip. It’s really a Beautiful Castle 🏰❤️
As, I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 we don’t have such Castle so visiting this place for me was exceptional experience. 😊
Nature reserve with a group of imposing sandstone rock formations for tours & rock climbers.
Absolutely worth visiting. The Rocks are beautiful and the paths are clearly marked and mostly easily accessible even for inexperienced visitors. You can use a paid parking nearby. There are some eateries, gift shops and a free WC at the entrance.
It will take you 15-30 min to go around the lake and 1-1.5h to go the main route (of course depends on your pace).

Beautiful church made entirely out of timber! No metal used, no stones, even the nails keeping the planks together are wooden. No wonder it is a UNESCO site. There is an entry fee, and for taking photos there is another fee, so please remember to bring some cash with you.

Very beautiful Church made out of Timber. It is definitely worth a visit to this beautiful Church. There is an entry fee that is very minimal but they do not provide any guides in English. You have to look at the pictures to see how beautiful this church is inside. When we were there there were people working on the church refinishing portions of the art. I'm glad that they are renovating the portions that need to be done and I want to be able to support this effort.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, a must-see! The incredible impression made by the interior of the church is even greater when we realize that it was built within a year... Currently, it looks slightly different than in the original design - some of it was added later, along with levels decorated with coats of arms. The levels with biblical scenes are original. It is currently undergoing renovation, but this does not in any way prevent you from admiring the beautiful paintings, pulpit or altar. Entrance is ticketed, and visitors are presented with the history of the temple through loudspeakers placed in the church. This is one of two Churches of Peace that we can see, so it really is a gem...
(Original)
Bez wątpienia obiekt, który trzeba zobaczyć! Niesamowite wrażenie jakie robi wnętrze kościoła jest tym większe kiedy uświadamiamy sobie, że został wybudowany w ciągu roku... Obecnie wygląda nieco inaczej niż w pierwotnym założeniu - część została dobudowana w okresie późniejszym wraz z poziomami ozdobionymi herbami. Pierwotne są poziomy ze scenami biblijnymi. Obecnie trwa tam remont ale w żaden sposób nie przeszkadza to w podziwianiu pięknych malowideł, ambony czy ołtarza. Wejście jest biletowane, zwiedzającym prezentowana jest historia świątyni przez głośniki umieszczone w kościele. To jeden z dwóch Kościołów Pokoju jakie możemy obejrzeć, więc naprawdę to perełka...

Nice Castle to visit. Building and surroundings are kept in very good state. It's possible to walk independently around most of the parts of this great Castle which is located on the top of the hill in the forest.

This is the best castle we have ever seen! It is highly underrated and relatively unknown. We stumbled upon this place by chance and were unsure whether to visit or not. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we decided to go. The castle has a truly breathtaking effect and offers a unique experience. There were not many visitors, allowing us to explore all parts of the castle. We highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!'

Nice place to visit, historic castle with impressive view. No need to drive up to the very castle as short uphill walk introduces the place
Picturesque cascade of water in a mountain environment, with a nearby hostel & hiking trails.
A beautiful waterfall, with nice scenery. To get to the waterfall, you have to purchase a ticket (fair price of 10zloty per adult, can pay by card) and wait a line, as you are allowed to go down to the waterfall only with a helmet (so you have to wait until people come back and give you the helmet). Worth the wait!

The walk up from the street parking was refreshing, although the last bit had quite an incline and required some stamina to conquer given it was trudging through snow and some ice, raczki highly recommended. The visit to the waterfall was a little adventure, what with the winding stairs descending into the gorge, the clear water in the creek at the bottom and the viewing platform at the end with the waterfall burbling enthousiastically the highlights of my visit. We had a tasty kielbaska and mulled wine at the schronisko next to the waterfall entrance, warming, good times. On the way back I sincerely wished for a sled or raczki, but all in all a satisfying and succesful visit.

A very nice waterfall, definitely worth a visit. Although the road is mostly uphill and very stony - very demanding, impossible with a stroller or bike, almost impossible for little kids.
Parking is paid but the machines accept cards.
At the water, there is a queue, you go down the stairs, with the obligation to wear a helmet which you get after paying for entrance - 12/6 zlotys.
A little higher on the hill there are food stalls and even some restaurants.
The place is overall very crowded.

Also at the top there is small cafe and bus shuttle which could take you to the car parkings.

Czocha Castle is a 13th-century castle that has been transformed into a dramatic hotel, offering classic rooms and free breakfast. With over 125 rooms, the castle hosts numerous events and provides a rustic yet charming ambiance. The friendly staff and on-site market add to the overall atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a tasty restaurant, cafe, and even sample honey mead. The castle's beautiful location offers great views and a medieval vibe inside.

It’s a little rustic but that’s part of the charm that make this authentic and interesting. The overall ambiance was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and friendly, and there was a market on site as well that added to the ambiance. There is a tasty restaurant and a cafe on site. We were introduced to the honey mead, which was quite nice. Also the castle beer is a must try - very smooth with hints of citrus. Wish I had brought some home with me.

Great castle. But there is a big "but". Only guided tours allowed and you see not that much of the famous castle. The tour is very long (over 1h) for what you see, not available in English.

A fascinating place to take a tour. The hard working tour guide really goes into detail about the history and the building. She should be kept as was great learning through her guidance. Did not stay at the hotel, so no comment.

As a hotel it should disappear as *** hotel - it’s just not what people are expecting when they’re here. Quality and cleanliness don’t exist.
In regards to castle as a museum - it has stopped in time 30 years ago. Staff is unfriendly and rude, besides instead of doing job which were paid for - they preferred discussing political choices. It’s disgusting and disappointing to have staff trying to control or convince people who came to visit a castle to specific political orientation.
Sorry it’s a red flag.

This is an awesome castle, great views and everything! I really like the medieval vibe that this castle gives when you're inside it. I really recommend visiting this place, it has epic views, no trash, many things to look at and beautiful cobblestone buildings surrounding the castle! At the time i am writing this, the roof in front of the river is currently under construction.

One of the most interesting castles I’ve been so far. It’s so beautiful, exteriors and interiors, there were some secret doors I found when I was there🤪🤪🤪Spent the night in the castle felt exciting yet scary at the same time when you went for the night tour visit with awesome way of storytelling from the staff. The atmosphere was indescribable, you can see it for yourselves, I highly recommend the night tour guide for this castle and you can thank me later 😉 but one thing I would change is that there’s English version of the story so it would be even more fascinating for me 🥰🥰🥰

Just sightseeing, not staying overnight. So much history and still to be discovered, must-see if a mystery fan. Discoveries happening as we speak. Worth to visit again after a while. It is a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting however, not equipped to handle so many tourists (toilets).
World War II prisoner-of-war camp, known for escape attempts & featured in The Great Escape film.
Excellent museum focusing on The Great Escape. Very interesting and informative. Nice exhibition and quite a few items.
You do need a car or a bike as there are three stations to go to separated by 1-2 km.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to go to the real great escape camp. My pops showed me this movie when I was 13 and I’ve watched it a lot throughout my life. So on my first euro trip I included Poland in it for a few days, rented a car and drove from Wroclaw, about 95 miles. The actual site is about a half a mile away from the museum which is really cool! The woman there didn’t speak English, you’re in zagan so it’s expected, I didn’t have cash, they require cash but she nicely let me in. I spent about two hours at stalag luft 3, there isn’t much there but remains, but it’s beautiful. Can’t believe I finally made it there.

Had an excellent experience and personal guided tour of the Museum Camps Stalag VIII C & Stalag Luft III by Museum Director Marek Lazarz. I had an uncle who was a POW in Stalag Luft III Nov 1944-Jan 1945. He survived. But I got to see the remains of the camps & tunnel memorial for the "Great Escape" in 1944. Truly an historical place of significance. Highly recommend a visit to this memorial to the past.

Really great place. Very friendly welcome, interesting museum complete with a tunnel you can go into. Very inexpensive and such good value. We also visited the exit site of Harry and wandered around where the hut was, saw the theatre, etc with helpful information boards. Definitely recommend. Thanks to the lovely man who served us and set up the TV room for us to play the film in English.

Nice museum. If you are a WW2 fanatic, it is a must see.
Be for warned that the English of the museum folks is very limited.
I wish I had gone to Pozan to see the graves of the 50.
Stay on the German side of the river for accommodations.

Be aware that the museum doesn't open until 10am. That aside, it's a fantastic place to visit and helps to tell the story of life in Stalag Luft lll. I felt that I understood the escape much better after I had visited here and I consider it a must do for all fans of the story

The museum gives an insight to life in the starlags and the incredible bravery and endurance of the men held there.
There is a couple of mile between the museum, tunnel and cemeteries.

I was Lucky enough to miss a guided tour to Stalag luft III booked through Tripadvisor, full tour. Instead I contacted the musseum and was fortunate to get a tour with Marek.
The knowledge and passion of this man combined with the echo of history from the camp and museum made this a remarkeble day that I will remember every time I rewatch the movie. If you get the chanse, go there!

Dinosaur park with life-size prehistoric creature models & adventure playground with nets & ropes.
Very nice and very crowded. The kids extra love it. And the maze in the nearby is really a good challenge, especially for the bigger kids...even for those like myself :D.

"Visiting Saurier Park was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped through the gates, we were transported back in time to an era when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The attention to detail in recreating these prehistoric giants was simply astounding. Each exhibit was not only educational but also incredibly immersive, allowing both children and adults alike to marvel at the sheer size and majesty of these ancient creatures. The park layout was well-designed, making it easy to navigate and ensuring that every exhibit was easily accessible. Additionally, the park offered a variety of activities and experiences beyond just viewing the exhibits. From interactive displays to fossil digging areas, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Overall, our visit to Saurier Park was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in dinosaurs. It's a fantastic day out for the whole family, and one that will leave you with memories to treasure for years to come."

Great adventure for the kids. However, 16 EUR entry fee for 4 years +, no distinction in price for students or seniors. No drinking water dispensers, 1 water 3 Euro - Outrageous!!!
Anett Herrmann — Google review
We went here with a group of 7 fully grown adults with no particular interests for prehistoric stuff, but this place was really fun even for that group.
The models are well made, theres plenty of interactive bits, and over and over i just couldnt help but mumble "i would have *loved* this place as a kid".
There are massive playground sections all throughout the park, and even a little closed off section that mimics jurassic park, with an abandoned bunker, broken down cars and ambient sounds.
Theres also a quiz app you can fill out to get a little prize at the end. Its really well done, children will have the time of their lives here, and for adults that are less hyperactive and childish than my friend group, theres plenty of seating, food stands, actually kind of informative trivia and otherwise just relaxing places between the more child focused attractions.
Highly recommend, for what you pay at the entrance itll be totally worth it.

Very nice dinopark. It is awesome that it is outdoors. If it is nice weather you can spend whole day outside on a interesting walk. I like it much better than indoor dinoparks. There are a lot of places to grab a snack or food. Entrance is so nicely done and there is a dino shop and cafeteria.

Nice place for family, a lot of species of Dinosaurs, prehistoric animals and caveman. Huge area to explore. A lot of playground's for kids, also educational panels. There is a small restaurant, and also Ice cream at the end of the road. We were two times there until now, and I still have a feeling that we didn't see everything. My full recommendation to everyone. 🦖🦕🐉

Perfect place for families. I’ve enjoyed my time with kids 3-6 years old. Can spend minimum of 3 hours there. Each place has attractions and games which can spend some good time in without getting bored. Well organized placed. Strongly recommended and a must visit park.

Visited both, the dinosaur themed park and the maze. Premises quite big to spend hours. Dinosaurs in majority are concrete sculptures. The entrance fee of currently €16.- per adult is a bit intense for my personal taste. It is recommended to bring foods, the park provides but could easily require a small extra fortune and lines are crazily long. The maze is fun and with a price of €7.- per person not as overpriced as the dinosaur park. Good for a one-time visit.

Went there with whole family and children of 7,5 and 3,5. They really enjoyed. The park is full of Dinosaurs of any type. Be prepared to have quite a walk. On top along the way they have placed a nuber of other attractions for the children such a huge slide, a place to jumb and clomb, huge house with a series of lines to go and leave and some lava space with a water to get cooled a bit. We liked it a lot. We need around 5h there to see most of it, but in case you will have a long lunch then easily even more is needed.
Wonderful park created by Prince Pückler in 1846 with ponds, waterways and bridges. Earth pyramids on land and in the middle of a pond are lovely.
A fine castle with sculptures is inspired by Greek, Roman and Oriental mythologies.
The castle's interior is splendid.
In my opinion more intriguing than Bad Muskau Park.

It says we can't ride a cycle at the entrance. But it's more when cycling I guess. It's calm, beautiful and people who love to have these food dates in nature must visit. Nothing is available to buy though, bring everything with you and keep the premises clean.

Really nice place. Plenty of information to get from the German lifestyle around 200 years ago.

A bit too small for the entry fee but as a student you get 1,50€ discount on regular 5,00 €. Even in the small venue, it shows the culture and lifestyle of then isolated community of Spreewald. You can even try some of the old wooden shoes and try washing clothes in the old north sorbic way. You can listen to how the language of the area used to be. I was excited to see, how the women used to cover their head and hairs some 50-60 years ago in western countries, and why the generations of same culture take the same thing from other cultures as questionable after just 50/60 years.

Beautiful stop on a gondola trip through Spreewald. Trip was wonderful - the stop although beautiful I would say is just ok.... The queues were big for one kiosk so if you can get table service it's worth it else like me you will waste half of your time queueing for a beer! It was great beer though 😊

To start with the town is absolutely stunning. The museum it's self is an absolute brilliant insight into local life. What I love most about it is, everyone was at the same thing at the same time...we always try and visit such places for an insight into the places we visit. We are more alike that not...well worth a visit and right next to a beautiful beer garden

Gorgeous open air museum showing old life in the Spreewald. Great for all ages. fun interactive stuff to do (for grown ups and kids!) All exhibit information signs had a few summary paragraphs in English (and a few other languages) which was very nice for those who know very little German. A lovely museum!

I've been to better spas.....
My wife and I went here last night because we received a gift certificate for our wedding. We spent a little over 6 hours in the pool and sauna.
Unfortunately, we didn't like it that much. While the saunas themselves are great, our favorite was the panoramic sauna overlooking the lake, everything else is tiny and feels cramped. The large saltwater pool is nice, but not as relaxing. And again, the space between the pools and the beds is very small and hard to walk around.
A big positive surprise was the restaurant. We had the edamame, gyoza, mangu curry with shrimp and bun bo nam bo. It was delicious. Probably one of the best Thai meals I've had west of Phuket.
Unfortunately, the evening ended on a sour note as the parking garage is also - surprise, surprise - super cramped and I scratched the rims of our car going down the super narrow ramp.
To sum up: we've been here, but we prefer the SpreewaldTherme in Burg or the VaBali Spa in Berlin.

Amazing spa experience! Beautiful, warm, clean and relaxing. Especially loved the new sauna Panorama building that has several saunas inside like a salt sauna, a steam bath and a bread sauna, where you can sweat next to an old bread oven and can even get a taste of the fresh bread after the bake!
The aquasound floating pool was nice but we were really missing pool noodles or any other floating supports for the neck.
The service and personnel was very friendly and made our visit very pleasant. Thanks!

This is one of the most relaxing and clean public thermal and spa places I've seen.
It's affordable, you can reach it by train and public transport in less than an hour and half from Berlin. They have different kinds of pools inside and outside. I would like to give a plus point for the pool with underwater music and its relaxing atmosphere. I heard its textile-free for adults on Saturday. Make a phone call and reassure it before you head on to this beautiful oasis.

Good place for relaxation, available outdoor and indoor pools. One pool with cold water the other pools with warm and salty water. Fountains and jacuzzi available. Changing cabins and lockers for valuables are there as well. Parking is within 2 minutes walk. First few hours of parking are free. Prices are reasonable for the service you get. Lounge chairs for sunbathing outdoors as well as indoors available. Within half an hour 40 min drive from Berlin or Frankfurt Oder. Recommend.

Almost perfect, but not for our massage experienced -overpriced for the quality and not recommended at all. Although, the place itself is relaxing with a beautiful view of the lake from sauna. Better to explore around the area by cycling when it’s warmer. Not bad after all!

I spent 3 hours in pools, 1 hour in saunas and spent for it 45 Euro- it’s too much.
The water is warm and thermal ,but it would be nice to repair pool tiles.
The saunas are perfect with great view of park and lake ,but unfortunately they are too small and inside of the building is not enough space for all people.

if you searchi g for the place to relax from city rush - its a great place for relax outside the big city (just about 1H drive from berlin) and they have also a parking lot. in winter and when its colder outside also in the air nice smells from fireplaces around. Saulty water with indoor and outdoor pools with warm water (about 34C).. also few days per week are open for the visits without kids-you can enjoy quite time there. IMO, best ever time is to visit later in the evening to catch up a sunset and darkness with first stars in the sky. also they have implemented a nice idea to add candles and very good lighting in the pools in the evening time :)) the only one small negative thingy is the parking lot exit -i think already have happened 2 times: sometimes it gets broken in the evening time. Maybe too many people were exiting during the day and filled up the tickets storage or whatever, so it stops receiving tickets and starts to work super slowly and you can not leave parking lot anymore, but support works quickly and after 5-8 minutes all the queued cars for exit managed to leave the parking lot.

We came to bad Saarow for a weekend trip to get out of the city (berlin) and relax a bit.
My girlfriend has not been to a Therme, but I’ve been to multiple ones over the year, mostly in NRW/the Rheinland.
Bottom line, it was an „ok“ experience.
Value for money could be better, as the prices are around 40€ if you want to go to the saune and Thermalbad (4h)
Let’s start with the Thermalbad area:
It’s one big inside pool that connect to the large one outside, and a few smaller whirlpools. Nothing special, not bad either.
What surprised me most was the fact that they build the Therme on a rather large area, but still didn’t really feel big. It’s also not really cozy.
There are a lot of places to lay down, but people occupy these with their towels even though it is explicitly said that you are not allowed to do that and should free the spaces and put your stuff in the provided baskets (nice feature) - the reality is that this is ignored by 90% of the guests and the people working there do not care (according to the notes on the wall they are the ones that will then remove your towels, if you don’t follow the rule as given). So this is quite annoying and you never get the chance to really find a spot, take out your book and unwind.
The sauna area:
We were there ok a Saturday in February (no kids allowed day) and it was not overcrowded, but still the sauna area didn’t offer enough space to store your belongings, move comfortably around and/or really relax. The sauna concept is not really thought through and make good use of the areas.
The silent room in the sauna area:
This was super disappointing. Again, people occupied the loungers with their towels. Also there was no real silence and people talked - not really relaxing. There should be a worker there enforcing this.

This spa is about 1 hour by train from Berlin then around 20 minutes by bus. Ideally you should spend at least 3 hours to really enjoy it. It offers jacuzzi, swimming pools and sauna. I loved the jacuzzi and the lavender sauna along with many cold and hot showers.
Daily pass cost Euro 27 and 10 extra for sauna. Unfortunately, the food is very limited and the sitting is just wooden benches with ants crawling all over the tables. Obsulatly disgusting! There is a nice park overlooking a lake next to it , it's worth a visit.

Super cool feelings during the winter time! There are lots of pool to chill inside and one of them in outside which is the coolest one!
For 3 hours cost is 17 euro around, I paid in January 2020. They give a bracelet for entrance and locker to put your stuff safely. Only one thing was really annoying if you go there really busy time, after bathing when you’re exiting from the place you need to wait in the line to give your bracelet and for payment! It’s horrible system which I saw first time in my entirely life! Why they’re not taking money at the entrance and putting a box to want us to put bracelets... I didn’t expect from Germany sorry but disappointed.
