We kindly ask the administration of Belovezhskaya Pushcha to reconsider the conditions of keeping enclosures with bears. Against the background of other spacious enclosures with animals, bears are in small, smelly prisons. The children burst into tears looking at the torment of the bears and left upset.

The National Park, as a natural object, is beautiful. On a bus tour we saw deer and bison in their natural habitat. In the aviaries, the animals come close. You can buy food for them at the checkout. The Nature Museum is a separate art form. Great!!! Restaurant 5 out of 5. The food is delicious. Simple feed. Not very expensive. The interior is really outdated. But we just came to eat. Hotel- Soviet Union))). Furniture.. yes, in general, everything is not modern at all. Swimming pool, sauna, breakfast included.

There are no questions about the complex itself . Everything is fine. But the service is at a big disadvantage . We visited Belovezhskaya Pushcha today. We had a great walk, but we decided to have lunch and there was a big ambush. All cafes and one restaurant serve only groups , employees are rude

It is easy to get there on your own and by public transport: 1.5 hours from Brest bus station and you are there! It costs about 8 rubles per person in one direction.

We planned to spend the New Year holidays this year, but first we decided to check how things are going with accommodation. We were completely disappointed. We went to the Forest in the hope that we would fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of wild nature, as a result, these were the sounds of a nearby "dryer" that buzzed around the clock. On Friday, the groups arrived, all three restaurants closed for specials.service. And we, the guests, could not simply eat and feed the children. It is not worth staying in the Forest 17,000 per night, of the advantages only nature.

The park is huge. Well maintained. You need to plan a whole day for it or stop there. Entrance to the territory is free of charge. Payment when the enclosures are blue in the face . You can rent bicycles and explore more of the area

I was most impressed by the Nature Museum in Belovezhskaya Pushcha.
I heard wolves howling.
I watched the animals in the aviary, but I was not lucky enough to see them in the free range.

The park is nice. It was about 6 years ago. A lot of animals live there. In addition to bison, they are also lynxes and badgers. There are also many species of plants and birds. A great place to relax with your family.

The beauty of nature is all of the positive emotions from a trip to Belovezhskaya Pushcha and the residence of Santa Claus... It was December 24 - tickets cost twice as much, but I still did not understand what we paid so much for… We came here for the sake of children, but alas and ah ... no one cares about children and a children's holiday here!!! A huge crowd of you will be led for an hour through the territory of the residence, from point to point, where indistinct-looking and professional animators with barely working microphones will read you a hackneyed text without expression and emotions and send you on! The meeting with Santa Claus and the snow Maiden looked like this: they left the house, uttered a "riddle": You can't eat a pear hanging. What are these children? - Someone else's pear ... hahaha ... And after that, the whole crowd, very quickly you need to have time to take a picture with your grandfather… It's a disgrace!!!

Listen, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, how do you compare the presence of hiking trails in the forest with the presence of wolves in the same forest? Or is this roughly what is called "unity with nature"? And why don't you inform your visitors about the presence of wolves? 06.01.23 we visited your park, we knew before that there were walking routes, we clarified at the checkout, the cashier, squinting to the side, began to tell that the paths there were not cleaned and he did not advise going there. We saw the wide path "lake ring" cleared by a tractor and, of course, turned there. And we're not the only ones. The first thing we saw by the lake, a 15-minute walk from the aviaries and cafes, was the battlefield: all the snow was covered in blood and the gnawed carcass of a beaver on the ice. The only way to identify a beaver in this pile of fur and bones was by its tail. Obviously not a mouse, but the old lady dealt with the beaver. So, guys, you will walk in the Forest along the official tourist routes - just take a knife or an axe with you in case of an attack by predators. Especially in winter, when predators are especially hungry. And it is not necessary, dear Pushcha, to tell that the wolf bypasses a man a mile away. Maybe one will get around well-fed, but in a pack and in winter he will easily attack from hunger. It's an animal. And your task as a national park is to make traveling through the park safe: if predators come so close, then either move only in groups, or accompanied by a huntsman, or safari by transport. Group registration, full name, magazine, everything is as it should be in the reserve. Not to mention the fact that even when meeting a boar, it will not seem enough to a person. We were taught in Moose Island that when you meet a wild boar in the forest, climb up a tree as soon as you can. And you have them on the hiking trails, judging by the footprints, just in droves. Or close these trails for fuck's sake if you can't ensure the safety of the visit. You will just have a zoo in the middle of the forest. It's more honest than whispering about uncleaned paths. But then what will be the nature reserve and the meaning of visiting you?

About the park, it's clear.careful.you can't stand near the skunk because of the smell (if the aviary was cleaned, this would not have happened.) the museum -the smell of chemistry is terrible, it is impossible to stay more than 10 minutes. Because of the treatment of stuffed animals.Tickets are sold to students for full price, although the price is reduced in Nesvizh and Mirsky castles.

We were at the end of May. Bicycles were rented at the parking lot. We drove, in a big circle, 27 km. It's an amazing experience. There are lakes, and bolts, and the only village in the forest, and ostriches and bison. It was the first time I saw a real anthill. And then we walked another 25 km along the route. By the end of the day, we were tired, but happy. 👍👍👍

A real monument of cultural and historical heritage. These trees have been seen by many historical figures and ordinary peasants.
There are hotels and restaurants with pebbles in the park, bike rental and excursions around the forest itself. The excursion to the estate of Santa Claus seemed a little boring, perhaps more interesting in winter. I recommend a sightseeing tour for consumption first of all. We had a very interesting guide who knows how to tell an interesting story. Also after this tour, we were dropped off at aviaries with local animals, so I advise you to buy carrots on the way.

We were from 10.08. to 11.08., stayed at a hotel in the territory of the Forest, the price includes accommodation, breakfast in the restaurant and entrance to the aviaries, an ecotrope to the lake. The animal enclosures on the territory are very large, except for birds, lynxes, raccoons. Bison, wild boars, deer, kaosuli, wolves, wild horses, bears live in the aviaries, You can buy animal food at the entrance, the aviary works from 9.00. You need to go to the aviaries either in the morning or in the evening after 19.in the morning they are fed, at 9.00 they still eat and it is not hot and the animals are all They're coming out. And in the evening it's not hot anymore and they also go out, and during the day they lie in the grass, sleeping. They fed both deer and horses, and most importantly, they saw and fed the bison. The animals themselves approach the fence, especially horses, deer and bison. The bear loves oranges very much, they clean them with their claws. The lake is beautiful, there are viewing platforms, you can swim.

In fact, it's just a forest, if there wasn't a zoo, then there's not much to see, and the zoo has the same name.
The trip took about 5 hours, as a result, a tick in the list of places to visit and wasted time.

There is an ideal idea of Belovezhskaya Pushcha as a relict protected forest, but the reality is somewhat different.
Only a small part of the reserve is open to tourists, and not the oldest. This corner looks like a zoo in the forest. Large aviaries with animals and paved paths on both sides.
Bison are the most popular, they are very friendly.

We have not been to the Forest for more than 15 years, and we were shocked that now the animals are kept in worse conditions than they were before. There are no words at all about the poor bears, only tears! The cage is 5 by 5 meters!!! The hare has 2 times more! After all, this is a nature reserve, in nature reserves animals should be kept in a natural environment, but here what is the fact!!! It is horrifying that new restaurants and hotels are built around like mushrooms, and the hands do not reach the Bear enclosure (( It is better not to go to the faint of heart!

I won't praise it, this place is unique and delightful. Point.
Disadvantages:
04/28/2024 there were a lot of cars on the tracks - more than 12-15 cars and the same number of buses - it was unpleasant.
The rental bike park is old. Navigation in the park is difficult - sorry.

We rested on October 31 with an overnight stay. The hotel was booked in advance - no problem. We arrived before the check-in hour, said that the room was ready and gave the keys. It turned out later that the room was not cleaned. True, the bed linen and towels were clean, but the maid came to clean and was very surprised that we were in the room. The excursion to Santa Claus is shameful. Repairs are underway, almost everything has been taken out for reconstruction. We were just hanging around the territory. The cafe wasn't working. In addition, when we were driving back, a man and a woman took our front seats, and the man resisted and did not give in. I was with a child. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Varied, but tasteless. Oatmeal porridge (I love it) has been cold for a long time. Lettuce leaves wilted. The pool (also included in the price) is not bad, but we froze there. Aviaries are free for residents. The impression that in an ordinary zoo. Sightseeing tour - average. The guide explained for a long time and in detail why they saw a healthy good forest, as if she was making excuses. I was joking and admiring myself. The bison have feeders in the middle of the aviary. Not considered.

We were in the Forest on 04.01.25
I had some disgusting impressions about the organization of the service.
The prices are huge, and the service for this money is 0 out of 10 ... the queue at each box office was 100 people + everyone wanted to get to Santa Claus, until we ourselves clarified the situation at the box office, and we would not have found out that there were no tickets for that day in the morning. It turns out that we drove in vain.
Everyone is standing and waiting for a "miracle", there is no need for a separate employee in the ticket office area on the street to orient himself by the availability of tickets.
The employees at the cash register answered questions with a dissatisfied face.
It was also impossible to eat, then the food ran out in the cafe, then there were no seats, then the cafe was just closed if there was a crowd of people at the door.
In short, the impressions get worse with each visit to the forest.
The management of the forest only wants to shovel money, but they don't want to improve the service.

The forest itself is good. The nature is beautiful. It's good that there is a large free parking lot at the entrance (I hope they didn't have to cut down a bunch of trees for this). The food establishments on the territory are pleasant, for different budgets, with good food.
But the tour was bad. The guide seemed to be reading from a piece of paper (or maybe it was)... It's very boring, monotonous. But I guess I got caught like that.
It is a pity that there are no hiking eco trails.

The park should be perceived solely as a place for walking, from the point of view of 5. But if you expected to see animals in aviaries - no, there are very few of them and there are no animals.
It may be worth counting on herds of animals for a "safari" inside the park, but this is not available for walking

The tour of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha did not impress us. You will take a 30-minute bus ride past the trees. I also do not recommend visiting the museum / the exhibits are old, even the smell is unpleasant. You will only see bison behind bars. The cafe sells pet food - breadcrumbs. Alas, they cannot be given bread. In general, I do not recommend it at all, you will lose time.

We arrived on December 23 at 8.20 in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, everything opens at 09.00. There is no place to go and wait for the opening of the ticket offices. It's very cold outside. There are very few animals in huge caves with animals. We bought tickets to the residence of Santa Claus, which cost 40 rubles. The program is disgusting, the microphones of the heroes did not work, there was a round dance with Santa Claus for 2 minutes and a shared photo. It's just awful.

It's an amazing place. It is best to arrive at 10 o'clock. Parking is large and free. There is a bicycle rental (electric scooters are prohibited). I recommend taking a guided tour. Monday is a day off (there are no excursions, the "residence of Santa Claus" does not work, souvenir shops are closed). There are places where you can have a cheap and tasty snack. One day for complete pleasure, I think it's not enough. I think it takes 3-4 days to fully "charge the life batteries".

Bison, deer, and horses are in large enclosures. Two bears huddle in small empty cages. They are cramped there, there is nothing to do, the conditions are just terrible and, as I have seen, it has been going on for years. It just ruined the whole experience of the walk. I do not recommend it

Large territory, fresh air. It is better to take a check-in with a meal complex (full board or half board), breakfasts are the same every day, complexes can be changed. There is a modest playground for children, a children's room is paid, but without an animator. There are not enough double rooms for children, a disco, animation, master classes, it would be super comfortable Rooms, comfortable mattresses. There are no stairs, porters and ramps everywhere, there are no elevators.

The oldest forest in Europe, the abode of Belarusian bison, and also the most popular national park of the Republic of Belarus. It's really cool here. Belovezhskaya Pushcha has giant trees, animals that can be seen here in the natural environment, the Pushchanskaya moonshine and even the estate of Santa Claus

The main advantage of Belovezhskaya Pushcha is undoubtedly the fascinating landscapes and the opportunity to observe wild animals in their habitat. If you are not lucky enough to see animals in the forest, you can take a closer look at them in the menagerie, which is home to bison, bear, wild boars, deer, marten, raccoons and others.
The most convenient and profitable way of transportation in all respects is by bicycle, since convenient and smooth roads are laid on the territory of this large-scale reserve. In addition, there are often places to rest along the way. But be careful: the "Big Trip" route took about 30 km from the main entrance and back with a check-in to the estate of the Belarusian Santa Claus, Tsarskaya Polyana and to Lake Lyadsky on the border with Poland; in time - about 4-4.5 hours. Be sure to bring plenty of water, something to eat and warmer things, as there is more shade and wind in the forest.
The lake offers incredible panoramic views of the water surface, which seems endless. Fishing and swimming are prohibited in the protected area!
The estate of Santa Claus is open until 18:00, which is why, unfortunately, we did not get there. But on the adjacent territory there is a restaurant and an attraction for children.
There is also a restaurant and cafe located 2 minutes from the main entrance and open until 23:00.
A brochure card is issued when renting bicycles. A small life hack: on the back of it is the number of the SOS service in case something happens on the way in the forest.
Have a nice trip!

We've seen a lot of zoos, but this one is somewhere below the middle. In fact, these are 10+ huge aviaries, with a good large territory for animals, but there are very few of them. If you are too lazy to walk, rent a bike right away.

We stayed in Belovezhskaya Pushcha for two days while traveling by car in Belarus. The forest and the air are wonderful. The guide to the Forest and the hostess of the farm are wonderful. Rooms, room service is average.
But I really want to take a walk on nutrition…
The first is that the on–site cafes are open until 18 and 19 o'clock. Only the Belovezhskaya Pushcha restaurant is open until 23. We arrived late – there was no choice where to have dinner. The menu on the site does not correspond to reality. Soups are not served in the evening. Why? Only the price depends on the restaurant, partly the dishes and partly the serving of dishes. The food is tasteless. Salads – it feels like all the leftover vegetables were chopped into a plate and a couple of slices of meat were thrown on top. A separate song is the waiter service. It seems that they were specially selected and also conducted trainings on the course "arrogance and contempt for the client." After such a service, I don't want to go to the restaurant anymore. Add the tasteless food here.
Cafe "Lesnaya Skazka" - we managed to arrange an early dinner for ourselves, as early as 16 o'clock, because at 19 they just close the doors, and in order not to stay hungry and not have to go to the restaurant "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" we went to this cafe early. They brought us game sausage. A sausage lying alone on a plate and a lone branch of parsley next to it – overgrown, sluggish, yellow and this is in Belarus in the height of summer?. When the boiled vegetables were brought (they were asked separately, as a side dish), we asked the waitress a question: the cook did not accidentally mix up and shake the peeled boiled vegetables into our plate. In fact, there were boiled vegetables in our plate: potatoes – only the peel cut from boiled potatoes, the stalk from cauliflower, just the stalk, nothing else and a little chopped boiled carrots. It's good that we only stayed for two days, otherwise some kind of gastritis is provided and the forest and fresh air are not good.
By the way, it is impossible to leave a review on the website of Belovezhskaya Pushcha in the absence of a Belarusian phone number.

I don't even know how many stars you can rate. If it's nature, then it's 100%. Everything else : bus stop : a bench made of logs and an urn.tickets: you need to take them right before entering the park, they won't let you into the museum without a ticket, and they don't sell tickets in the museum itself. Moreover, you will have to stand
at two ticket offices if you need to buy tickets for aviaries and a Walking route. The Lake ring hiking route : we almost got lost, we saw only three signs throughout. There are no arrows that you are going in the right direction. We went along a well-traveled road and would not have gone anywhere at all if we had not decided to go back. Aviaries: yes, there are very few animals, there are even fewer signs with descriptions of who is in the aviary. Very original urns, there are many of them, clean everywhere. Our goal was a walk, we had a walk. If all the defects mentioned above are corrected, it will be a completely different matter!

Oh yeah. The service is excellent. Just a couple of sightseeing tours?! The heat is 30, people crowd at the cash register and find out that everything starts only at 11.00 in the morning. A bus for 50 people. Minibuses have been cancelled. Individual excursions have also been canceled. Entry of personal vehicles is prohibited. This is all an order from the administration. But personally, His Majesty, the head of the administration, distributes permits for cars to enter. In fact, standing near the cash register for 10 minutes, I saw at least 15 private cars driving under the barrier. Well, I observed the same picture when leaving the park. Yes, nature is a delight. We bought Tickets to show the child at least the animals behind the fence. In fact, the signs on the enclosures need to be changed. They looked at an ordinary tractor digging something, an ordinary tractor taking out wood, ordinary workers felling trees with a chainsaw and terrified deer clinging to the fence. There is only one answer to everything - the order of the administration. Maybe the problem is in the leadership after all?

I do not recommend it. It is warm in Belarus from May to October. For some reason, the season in the Forest has been opened since June. There is nowhere to rest and have a snack. Customer service is focused on excursions. You can only walk along the aviaries on your own. There is no place to buy water, tea, or coffee. They offer to bring food with them... In general, the service has one name.
