Outdoor Activities for Children

You will hardly find a child anywhere that does not love zoological gardens and animals. The Prague Zoo is one of the most beautiful zoological gardens in the world and has much to offer its visitors.

The first visitors entered the gates of the Prague Zoo in 1931, and nowadays the Prague Zoo welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, all of whom admire its beautiful exhibits and enclosures located in the hilly area of the Prague district of Troja. At the Prague Zoo you can see 4,700 animals from 700 different species. You can admire them in various enclosures and exhibits including the Indonesian Jungle which will transport you to the warmth of the tropical rainforest, as well as other areas such as the home of orangutans, gibbons and macaques, the Gavial Pavillion, and the newly-renovated exhibit of seals and penguins, or the very popular Gorilla Pavilion, and many other well-designed habitatss. The Prague Zoo spreads across an impressive 60 hectares (exhibits cover about 50 hectares of this area) and you can walk on 10 kilometers of trails. Before visiting the zoo we recommend checking its website where you will find useful information regarding times when you can see presentations and watch expert animal handlers feed and introduce certain species. If you want to contribute some money to animal breeeding or care, you can become a sponsor or an adoptive parent of certain animals. No matter in which season you decide to visit the Prague Zoo with your children, an interesting program, new animals including many babies, and exciting experiences will always await you.
