Prague Zoo, Bohemia, Czech Republic

Beautiful animal kingdom
Prague Zoological Garden is situated near the center of the Czech capital, in a unique rugged landscape on the bank of the Vltava River. It opened in 1931 and during its existence of more than 80 years it has risen to become one of the most prestigious zoos in the world. Today, it is the second most visited tourist destination in the Czech Republic, just after Prague Castle. 5,049 animals and 676 species live in Prague Zoo. You can explore 13 pavilions and 150 exhibits over 58 hectares. The kids will love the Bororo Reserve, chairlift, mini-train, observation tower, paddling pool and Children’s Zoo. The pride of the zoo is its Elephant Valley, home to a sizeable herd of Asian elephants. The Giant Salamander House, where you can see the largest amphibians in the world – the critically endangered Chinese Giant Salamanders – is extraordinary as well; and the African House with an adjacent vast meadow inhabited by herds of antelopes and giraffes is worth your attention, too.

Beautiful animal kingdom
In hindsight it might have been wrong to choose the first day of Easter holiday, the zoo was packed and the line for tickets was around 20min. Unfortunately the server was down and we were not able to buy the tickets online so we had to wait. Apart from few very congested places (lion feeding, gorillas enclosure, seal feeding and kangaroo feeding) the zoo was not that crowded after all (even with almost 6000 guest at a time). The Prague zoo continues to develop to better accommodate guests as well as animals. Enclosures are becoming more natural and suited for the animal needs yet still allowing the guests viewing them. the ticket prices were rising throughout the years only slightly thanks to various donation programs. Ticket for adult is 250CZK (cca 13$). Its a very nice and entertaining walk. There is a lot of refreshment huts and restaurants, plenty of facilities.

Wonderful Zoo
We arrived at this zoo when they opened and stayed here all day. Due to cold weather a lot of the animals were inside which gave us the chance to see them up close. Some of the restaurants were closed due to the time of year but we were still able to get food and refreshments during the day. The price was just under £20 for two adults which is very good value for how large this zoo is and how many animals you can see. We are hoping to return here.
