“We had a really fabulous day although we got very cold by 3pm. The zoo is great and very well organised. The food on offer was excellent and there were plenty of opportunities to sit and rest whilst watching fascinating inhabitants. We got an English map for 5czk and everywhere was signposted in English as well as all the information. Thanks Prague Zoo”

“A really big Zoo. If you want to visit you actually need to use a whole day there to see everything. The enclosures were pretty great and everything was clean, coming from an animal caretaker from Germany. I was fascinated by the numbers of different animals that are living there and must say that this is the prettiest Zoo I’ve ever visited.”
