The zoo in Opole Zoological garden on the island Bolek, located in the town of Opole in southern Poland. The zoo covers an area of 20 hectares and is home to 1,000 animals from 227 species (89 species of birds, 72 species of mammals, 43 species of invertebrates, and 11 species of reptiles). The zoo in Opole is the second largest zoo in Upper Silesia after the zoo in Chorzow.

The history of the zoo dates back to 1912, when the island was established by a private menagerie. In 1937 it was purchased by the city administration. At that time, the zoo occupies an area of 1, 5 ha and specialized in birds. Here lived exotic species like flamingoes, pelicans, parrots, and white storks and grey herons. For birds were built special enclosures, and the rest of the territory was occupied by the pond and lawn.

In 1937, the zoo was opened for the residents of the city. Soon, Hermann Goering donated Park lion and African monkeys, antelopes and deer. On-site Parking, a restaurant was opened.

During the war the zoo was completely destroyed. Restoration work began in 1952, and the Grand opening was held in July next year.

The rapid development of Opole zoo began in 1998, when his territory was expanded. Most of the buildings were built in the late twentieth century, making the zoo in Opole one of the most modern in Poland.

Special attention at the zoo is given to animals that are endangered such as: pygmy Hippo, Serval, lynx, Jaguar, kangaroo, red lemur and others.

Currently the zoo in Opole is part of the European Association of zoos.
