Afrykarium
About
The Afrikarium is Wrocław’s flagship oceanarium, offering visitors an immersive look into the aquatic worlds of Africa. Since opening in 2014, it has become one of Europe’s largest marine habitats, featuring an 18‑meter acrylic tunnel that allows guests to walk beneath a curtain of sharks, rays, and other pelagic species. Beyond the mesmerizing tunnel, the Afrikarium hosts a wide variety of African fauna, from hippos and manatees to seals and colorful fish. The attraction blends education with entertainment, offering interactive displays and guided tours that explain the ecological significance of each exhibit. Designed with families in mind, the venue includes dedicated play areas for children and special programs for school groups. The attraction operates daily from 9:00 to 16:00, although times may vary slightly during holiday periods. Visitors can purchase tickets online via the zoo’s booking portal, which provides a convenient way to secure entry and avoid on‑site queues. Whether you’re a marine biology enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable day out with the family, the Afrikarium presents a unique opportunity to explore Africa’s rich aquatic life without leaving the heart of Wrocław.
