Zoo Ostrava

Enjoy a wonderful day with the whole family at the second largest zoo in the Czech Republic. On approximately 100 hectares you will see over 435 species of animals represented by more than 4,000 animals, as well as countless rare plants in the botanical park.

Ostrava Zoo has undergone a significant transformation over the last few years, with the construction of many new pavilions, large natural enclosures and walk-through exhibitions. You will feel like you are in another part of the globe in the Asian Ungulate Safari, Amazonia or Wetlands, for example, and children will surely be delighted by the On the Farm exhibition with domestic animals that they can pet and feed.

In the extensive botanical park you can walk through 6 kilometres of nature trails leading, among other things, to an exposition with the largest collection of rhododendrons and azaleas in the country and Slovakia. For example, the unique trail winding through the wetland ecosystem with giant models of reptiles and amphibians is also great.

Various events and lectures are held every month at the zoo, and guided animal feedings are also very popular. However, there are also facilities for families, a number of play areas and playgrounds for children, hundreds of benches to relax on, rest areas and, of course, food stalls. And if you or the kids get sore feet, you can take a ride around the zoo on the Zoo Train or Safari Express.

Zoo Ostrava is open daily all year round!
