ZOO employees rightly predicted that this year will see a new record set by passing the 1.3 million visitors seen in previous years. This number is being helped by the extremely mild weather in October and November..
Most visited paid attraction in all the Czech Republic
The visitor rate of ZOO has been growing without faltering since 2002 when the lower part of the gardens was destroyed by floods. Thanks to the many volunteers and donors it was possible to expand the gardens by several interesting exhibitions and for the first time the one million mark was beaten in 2005. When it comes to payed attractions, the Prague Zoo is indisputably the most visited place currently in Prague and therefore in all Czech Republic.
Hits from the ZOO
The immense popularity of the ZOO was brought about by not only its wonderfull breeding successes of the now famous gorillas Moja, Tatua and Kiburi but also by major achievements in reptile breeding, przewalski’s horse, large ungulates and other animals. In addition to this the ZOO has found a way into the hearts and minds of so many newcomers who like innovative ideas such as selling genuine elephant dung, live broadcasting from inside animal houses or meeting with babies and striking pictures of animals via bill boards.
