Prague ZOO is said to be one of the best in Europe and could easily keep you or your kids busy for the entire day. The ZOO does its best to be a pleasant and interesting place for everybody and if you take a few minutes and organize your trip it can really be an unforgettable experience.
Be sure to take a look at the “Don’t miss” section, where you can find a timetable of the most important events that take place in the ZOO during each day.
One of the most appreciated pavilions is the Indonesian Jungle and the Monkey Island where you can have a look at the luxuriant flora and fauna of the jungle..
Another place that your kids will definitely love is the Children Area and the Children ZOO, a special built farm, where kids are allowed to enter some enclosures and play with different domesticated animals (rabbits, sheep, pigs, ponies, hens, ducks, and geese).
There are also some slot machines, where kids can buy low calories granules and feed their favourite animals.

2. Drive
(Follow the signs all to “Nadrazi Holesovice” and then “ZOO”). Take also in mind that during high season periods you might not find a parking place in front of the ZOO. Parking fee: 50 CZK/ day.
3. Take a boat ride
to “Pristaviste Troja”, cross the bridge over Vltava, go around the Trojan Castle (“Trojsky Zamek”) and then walk to the ZOO. The walk takes about 25 minutes.
4. Use a regular bus
– take the metro to “Nadrazi Holesovice” (metro and tram station) and from there take the Bus 112 to the terminus (“Botanicka Zahrada”).
