Advantages: An interesting and impressive zoo. Disadvantages: Low lying position near river.
★Introduction ★
Prague Zoo was first opened to the public in 1931; probably before the flood of 2002 few people knew of its existence. Many of you will remember the shocking floods in central Prague in the summer of 2002. The news pictures showed the famous Charles Bridge almost totally submerged. Much of the focus of attention was however centred on Prague Zoo which is situated to the north west of Prague just metres away from the banks ... ...14th 2002 brought chaos to Prague Zoo. Some parts of the zoo were 10m deep in water. Many animals died as a result; some 134 drowned or died later from stress including many birds, an elephant, two hippos, a lion, a seal and a gorilla. A huge evacuation project had to be carried out to move 1029 animals that were affected by the flood. This included elephants, hippos, birds, big cats and more. Many buildings were also completely destroyed. Public ...

Advantages: So many animals to see, zoo helps with conservation work Disadvantages: Some of the larger animals needed bigger enclosures
...definitely wanted to visit was Prague Zoo.
I am still undecided on how I feel about zoo's as I believe wild animals should be allowed to be wild. One of the reasons we were keen to visit Prague zoo was because there are heavily involved in conservation work and I believe that this is vital to help many of the animals which are becoming endangered.

Advantages: Affordable full day out, large parkland area, range of species Disadvantages: Some Enclosures were too small, concrete and cold
Prague Zoo is situated a few miles outside the city centre itself and can be reached via the tube line C to Holesovice and then by bus 112. The bus itself can be quite an ordeal as it gets absolutely packed with passengers and reminded me more of transport in Asia than anywhere else! Thankfully it is only a few kilometres to the park entrance. Prague Zoo has changed enormously since 1931 when it opened. Back then there were only 8 hectares, and less ... ...It must be mentioned that Prague Zoo has had a pivotal role in saving the Przelwalski horse and over 200 have been bread here with some released back to the Gobi desert. The lower half of the zoo is home to the many birds species as well as smaller mammals. There are also a number of pavilions in this section, including the Pavilion of Big Cats, Pavilion of Penguins, Pavilion of Big Tortoises and the Pavilion of Big Mammals. While I enjoyed most ...

Prague zoo is a member of many different breeding programmes internationally the most famous being that of the przewalski's horses.

**Getting to the Zoo**
When we arrived in Prague we bought a 7 day public transport ticket which we found extremely good ...
