You can watch the animals but also visit the Zookeeper's Villa, where Zoo director Zabinski and his wife saved tens of Jewish families during German ocupation - the 2017 movie "Zookeeper's Wife" is based on this true story. You have to cross the Solidarnosci alley and go through the Park Praski to get there - it's only a few minutes walk.
