Alpakarnia Poczesna Alpaca Farm

Alpakarnia Poczesna in Nowa Wieś near Częstochowa is a family park with alpacas, a mini zoo and children’s attractions. Visitors can approach the alpacas and buy a cup of feed. The operator lists more than 20 species, including capybaras, zebras, flamingos, lemurs, meerkats, camels, donkeys, parrots, kangaroos and goats.

Animals and feeding

Alpacas are the main reason to visit — the operator says that almost 100 are available for guests. They are used to people, but feed them only with food bought on site and follow the staff’s instructions. Some mini-zoo animals live in separate enclosures, so the visit combines close contact with alpacas and traditional animal viewing.

Family attractions

The admission ticket covers more than the mini zoo. Children can use the playground, rope park, inflatable attractions, trampolines, zip line and jumping cushion. There is also a café and a small souvenir shop. It works well as a several-hour family trip near Częstochowa, especially when children want to combine animals with active play.
