Palm House

Built in waves beginning in 1910, the Palm House in Wilson Park began as a small showcase for palm trees and cacti and is now the largest palm house in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. During World War II, the heavily damaged Palm House lost almost all of its tropical plants, though quickly restocked and reopened again in 1946. Today the interior is filled with 1100 species of plants from all over the globe and 170 species of fish - including some of the largest goldfish we’ve ever seen. While all of the minimal signage is in Polish and Latin, it doesn’t inhibit your visit if the goal is awe. The soaring greenhouses include plants from savannahs, deserts, and tropical climates (and the temperature reflects that; be prepared to shed some layers when visiting this humid site) interspersed with tanks that host creatures like turtles and parrots. Located just west of the train station, the easiest way to get there is catch the number 13 tram south of the market square ('Wrocławska' or 'Marcinkowskiego') and get off at 'Matejki,' from which it's only a short walk south.

Just so you know, the red army didn't liberate Poznan, they did not liberate anyone :)
