The Prague Zoo is one of the world’s top zoological parks. It is located near the center of Prague and houses over 5,000 animals representing more than 680 species. It opened in 1931 and has since risen to become one of the most prestigious zoos in the world. Today, it is the second most visited tourist destination in the Czech Republic, just after Prague Castle. Kids love the zoo and its different activities, such as a play area called Bororo Reserve and other smaller playgrounds, chairlift, pony rides, mini-train, observation tower, paddling pool, and Children's Zoo.

What To Pack
Prepare for a full day out by packing comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing (light layers in spring and fall, sun hats in summer), sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle.
