Prague Zoo ... protect wildlife, and educate the public" in the district of Troja in the north of Prague. The zoo occupies 45 hectares (111 acres) and houses about 4,600 animals that represent 630 species from all around the world.

 ... Prague Zoo plays a large role in the conservation of these beautiful animals. Over 200 of them have been bred here with some of them being released back to their native environment in the Gobi desert. Next is the Wolf section which again was very large. There were probably about 30 wolves and they all seemed very happy. The enclosure had large rocks and logs for them to climb on. Following on from here, you will find yourself walking down a winding path where you can see hyena's (again with a large enclosure) and yo...more

Premium Review Prague Zoo: How Big??? (3088 words)

Myself and my fiancée have just returned from a week break in Prague. As always, when we go on holiday, we try and visit as many places as possible while we are there. With both of us being massive animal lovers, one of the places we definitely wanted to visit was Prague Zoo. I am still undecided on how I feel about zoo's as I believe wild animals should be allowed to be wild. One of the reasons we were keen to visit Prague zoo was because there are heavily involved in conservation work and I believe that this is vital to help many of the animals which are becoming endangered. Location Prague zoo is located a few miles outside of Prague ...  Read the complete review

Prague Zoo is situated a few miles outside the city centre itself and can be reached via the tube line C to Holesovice and then by bus 112.

Thankfully it is only a few kilometres to the park entrance. Prague Zoo has changed enormously since 1931 when it opened. Back then there were only 8 hectares, and less than 100 animals, and visitors could only enter the zoo at weekends. Nowadays the Zoo receives over one million visitors a year, visiting over 4500 animals in over 60 hectares of land and the zoo is ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Prague Zoo: ~~Floods Away ~~ (3604 words)

Rating:

++ Introduction ++ Prague Zoo was first opened to the public in 1931; probably before the flood of 2002 few people knew of its existence. Many of you will remember the shocking floods in central Prague in the summer of 2002. The news pictures showed the famous Charles Bridge almost totally submerged. Much of the focus of attention was however centred on Prague Zoo which is situated to the north west of Prague just metres away from the banks of the River Vlatava. Prague Zoo was well and truly put on the world map overnight because of the flood. TV images of the rescue attempts of hundreds of animals and birds were watched avidly around the globe. ...  Read the complete review
