Polonezkoy Zoo - Natural Life Park

Way too many animals and many of them you can pet or feed including now famous giraffes. There are two walk paths through the forest where you can see some wolves. Be prepared to be covered with mud, they provide brushes and water to clean your boots/shoes.

We got to meet with the owner, very down to earth guy with a heart of gold.

My kids wouldn't leave and to live here. Beautiful small petting zoo for all ages. Animals well trained to follow u once u have feeding food for them.

Dwarf ponies, goats, llama, emu, sheep, peacocks all will be ur friend along ur walk.

Stunning views.

It was a very natural and beautiful atmosphere
The animals were freely in the environment and you could have close contact with them

Wonderful, playful animals, perfect place for animal lovers, just an hour outside istanbul city center

Good place for families and fun activities , although very far away, it is worth visiting

Really nice worth the money. Mostly cute animals like the ones in children books. Make sure to bring a hat or a head cover as it lacks shaded areas. Food and water is not allowed unless bagged away or for babies. Tickets costs 130 tl per adult. No discounts for groups or students.
Not too big can be finished in 2-3 hours.

Very nice zoo, so much potential there, many places to explore. You can enter to some of the animals and pet them what is awesome. I enjoyed time there so much, entrance fee is not too expensive. You can even make a barbeque there, chill in the forest with animals around you. 10/10 for me. There is so much potential in this place some of the areas were not well maintained, the place would need some renovation but after all animals are the most important. If it was closer to İstanbul i would visit it every day!

Rather than a typical zoo, it is a nature-friendly farm. You can communicate with various animals, not just simply looking at them.

My kids really loved it and we had a great time with various animals.

We visited this place on Saturday. It was not crowded at all and parking was quite easy.

Excluding the entrance fee, this is a highly recommended place.

It costs 800 TL for a family of four as of 25 February 2023. (250TL x 2 adults + 150TL x 2 kids)

Such a nice zoo! I recommend visiting.

Simply wow... Relaxing woods and landscape... So clean and calm... Great for families and kids

Very nice place to visit and enjoy your time with animals and can touch and playing with animals and enjoying the barbecue foods from the restaurant inside the zoo

as per September 2021, the entrance fee for toddler is 35 tele. Adult will be 65 tele.

We were welcomed by the ostrich! Very pleasing experience.

The zoo is built and surrounded by the forest. Therefore it feels very natural and blend nicely.

A lake is available at the corner of the zoo. You can paddle a boat however no lifeguard nor BCD available on site. Therefore you jump to the boat on your own risk. We came there 30 minutes after opening when the crew was feeding animals. İt was very fun to see!

A great place to have a relaxing walk

Amazing place! you can spend time with animals who freely roam the area. Some animals are in cages, unfortunately, but this is a zoo after all. I think all animals are treated very well here.

I really like this zoo and animal park. I think it’s best one in Istanbul especially for going with kids. You could pet some animals, even rain deers. They have nice forest also where you could walk. I just would recommend if they put a gate around food area so dogs and birds would not come and eat food which visitors give them because that aren’t healthy for these animals.

The kids love the playground area. It's good for a road trip. Near there are plenty of restaurants. If you do not get used to the cold bring your jacket and gloves. Also, if you want to stay they have cabins next to the zoo.

Place is empty in the morning, so walk in the park gives you the feeling that you are completely alone. Some animals are freely walking around, it was a memoriable experience.

Ama girişteki tabelasının Ingilizcezini düzeltirseniz iyi olur - "strictly" instead of "strickly" 🙂

Great place to spend a day in.
The lake the boat the animal ....
The only problem is to get a taxi or uber to get you there specially if you are in the European side. No problem in going back. the park will get you a taxi or locals car.

THIS IS WORTH THE PLACE TO VISIT YOU HAVE ANIMALS THAT ARE WALKING AROUND and you can feed the animals and there is an ostrich

Unique place. Every person who loves animals should visit it. ❤
