Children’s Zoo
The main feature of the Children’s Zoo is a traditional farm, complete with a yard and paddocks, where we keep a wide variety of domestic animals—from chickens and ducks to goats, sheep, and even llamas. What’s more, children are allowed to enter the sheep enclosure, pet the animals, and feed them with special pellets available on site.
But our Children's Zoo isn’t only about domesticated animals. We also aim to capture the spirit of traditional Central European countryside, shaped by human hands. Behind the farm, you’ll discover a pond, home to dragonflies and marsh frogs, while two walk-through aviaries—Nature Around Us—let you observe small birds native to Czech woodlands and meadows.
Last but not least, the Children’s Zoo features a relaxation area with play elements, a picnic zone, the Ark Theatre, virtual reality, and a children’s tram that has been delighting young visitors for over 40 years.
