Brno Zoo

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at Brno Zoo, helping with cleaning and maintenance, and I also spent time exploring the zoo afterward. The zoo is impressively wide and spacious, offering plenty of room to roam and discover a vast variety of animals. It truly felt like a well-maintained and safe environment, both for the animals and the visitors. Volunteering gave me a closer look at the effort that goes into keeping everything clean and comfortable for the animals. I highly recommend visiting if you want to see diverse wildlife and enjoy a safe, welcoming outdoor experience.

An interesting place not only for children. Large enclosures for animals are well equipped. It is possible to climb to the highest point of the park in a special trolley. There is a cafe with snacks and drinks, a restaurant, and a toilet on the territory. You will find drinking water dispensers everywhere. There are playgrounds for children everywhere.

Super nice zoo. Very wide-breeding and very natural as if you were walking through a forest. Most special is because of the design you can get very close to the animals and see them up close

Lady at the ticket booth was really impolite, otherwise the zoo was lovely. If you go during the week it’s almost empty, which is nice, however be prepared that most of the food stands will be closed.

Located on the outskirts of Brno, the zoo covers around 41 hectares on a forested hillside known as Mniší hora. It’s perfect for a visit of at least 2 to 3 hours, combining attractions, food, and interactive activities.

It’s an ideal visit for both kids and adults — offering a mix of fun and learning.

I was quite affraid to visit this zoo after reading some bad reviews but after all was not dissapointed at all. Really cool perspective that it is located on the hill, I could've never imagened how good it would look and especially feel for animals who are tend to live not on the flat terrain. Yet it is quite outdated with some trashy benches but on other hand it is very organic and creates great atmosphere. There were SOME exhibitions closed but still plenty to see. We couldn't managed to go everywhere with our 2yo in 3 hours! Plenty places to eat, for kids to play and just relax. Not too crowded. Littlr train is great idea when you have small kids but it would be great if it was electric one, not the stinky.

Smaller, more walk-y zoo. Student ticket price is very nice. I visited on a winter weekday and it was almost completely empty, which I really liked. From what I saw, there seem to be places to sit, eat or drink, but I only noticed one souvenir shop. My biggest point of excitement was the amount of uncommon animals we saw. Thing is, I'm not sure a casual visitor cares about the 6 different types of pigeon or lizards that one cannot see much elsewhere. The enclosures are decent from what I can tell, it didn't look like any of the animals suffered. I also liked that many animals got very close to the visitors and seemed somewhat curious. I'll probably visit again in the summer. One note I should mention - when I was visiting, the polar bear exhibit was closed and so the route was interrupted. Plus points for a zoo cat that crawled into my lap while I was sitting around, minus points for mice in parrot enclosure

It's my first time to visit other country's local zoo. Brand new experience for me in my life. Tiger, Owl, Capypala, Lion, Giraffe, Crocodile, Camel, Zebra, Carrot, Lynx, Alpaca, Anaconda.... various animals in the wild. I love it. Tickets price is reasonable, transportation is very convenient by tram #1 between Brno Zoo and Brno downtown. Thanks Brno zoo and team.
