THE ZOOKEEPER`S VILLA

Duration: 1-1.5 hour

Tour Price: 250 zloty

Entrance fee: 35 zloty/person (incl. ticket to the zoo, you can combine the tour with visit in the zoo)

The former home of the Żabińskis, guardians of the Warsaw Zoo during the Second World War. Their story was turned into the book and then movie "Zookeeper's Wife" starring Jessica Chastain.

We will tour the zoo grounds and the same rooms where Jan and Antonina Żabiński sheltered Jews smuggled from the Warsaw ghetto. Not much changed inside since the end of the war.

We will walk down to the basement, where the hideout was located. You can still see there an underground tunnel through which they could escape to an abandoned pheasant enclosure.
