The largest exotic parrot exhibition in Zakopane

Interesting thing to do in Zakopane during bad weather. We recommend the coolest and the largest exotic parrot exibition in this area. It is located on the Road to Olcza 11 and has the patronage of the Mayor of Zakopane!

During the visit, hand-fed parrots can jump on your shoulders and hug you. The birds learned to speak, which means they speak some words in Polish, such as "hello", "good morning" or "I love you".

You can see more than 100 beautiful specimens such as Mountain Loris, Kakadu, Chinese Alexandrites and many others. Each parrot is very different, but the most common feature of all parrot species are their beautiful, brightly colored wings. A great thing to do in Zakopane for kids!

Highlander Glide

A house upside down

Another noteworthy Zakopane attraction, which is a relatively new option for tourists, is an upside down house. It is a house that lies on its roof. The construction has been prepared deliberately so that you can go inside and experience unimaginable inverted impressions. Everything is in the air, and visitors seem to be walking on the ceiling. This is a great curiosity that will delight both older and younger tourists relaxing in Zakopane.
