From April to October you also reach the zoo by boat on the Vltava River. Landing station is 1.1 km far from zoo main entrance.

It is forbidden to ride a bicycle on Prague Zoo premises. Cyclists can leave their bicycles in designated parking lots.

At each entrance to the zoo there are storage lockers in which you can leave your hand luggage.

You can borrow a stroller, a cart or wheelchair by the main entrance to the zoo. This service is free of charge; you just need to provide an ID number (National ID, driver’s license, passport).
