★★★★★3 weeks agoThe most beautiful zoo I have ever been to! It’s a must visit place. There are 10km of walking trails to take. You would need at least 4-5 hours with no rushing it through. Don’t skip multiple indoor exhibitions. It’s a great place for children and adults. If you don’t have kids just visit the zoo anyway, you are gonna love it!!! There are lots of food options so no need to worry.

★★★★★Edited 6 months agoPrague Zoo is a fantastic place to visit. The zoo is very big, spacious, and well maintained, making it enjoyable to walk around and explore. I especially loved seeing the giraffes watching them up close was truly wonderful. I was also impressed by the large variety of birds, which added so much color and life to the experience. Everything was well organized, clean, and easy to enjoy. Overall, I really liked everything about the zoo. Wow! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Prague.
