Prague ZOO is situated in Troja in Prague, it was opened in 1931 and in 2015 it was the 4th best zoo in the world according to TripAdvisor. We decided to go to Prague zoo last minute because it wasn’t a good weather. We arrived to Prague Podbaba station at about 3PM and then we headed by walking a little while to zoo.
After about 30 minutes we were finally at the zoo and we took a picture of a map so we could orient there. The first interesting animals we liked were kangaroos. They were so beautiful but they didn’t move a lot because they looked old. We walked up to the zoo and we saw a Observation tower called Obora so we climbed up and we saw the whole part of Prague. There were beautiful view but little bit windy so we climbed down and headed to see some other animals.
It was a few minutes walking and we finally saw beautiful elephants eating some food. There were nearby giraffes and small meerkats. Meerkats were so cute and they are our favorite animals so we watched them a little bit longer than other animals. We took pictures of them and then we made a short video of hippos in a water.
Then we were climbing down to see a polar bear because when we climbed up he was hidden and now he was out and nobody was watching him so we had a great view and we made a photo with him. Also penguins are our favorite animals so we were on our way to see them. A few of them were out but in a distance so we didn’t see them perfectly.
Next animals we wanted to see were monkeys but it was a little bit late and their sector was closed unfortunately. We also wanted to see some fish but it was closed too. We changed our plans and headed to see tigers and snakes. There was beautiful tiger and I watched him a little while. Snakes were my favorite animals when I was a child so ofcourse I had to see some of them there and they were beautiful but probably dangerous.
It was already after 7PM and we were one of the last visitors in zoo so we had to leave also because our train home came in a while. From the zoo we went by a bus to Holešovice where we changed bus for subway. After a few minutes we were at Prague Masaryk railway station and our train was there so we found our seats and went home.
I was in Prague zoo second time and it was a great experience with so many beautiful animals. The next day we went to České Budějovice and it was our last day of our 14 days Summer trip, the next post will be about that.
