Zoo is in great condition. They still prepare something new for visitors. Care about animals is on very good level. IT is placed in great big park area, There is many atraction for children. Every time you can find news.
We have been to several zoo's in the Uk and also in the USA and i have to say Ostrava Zoo is my favourite. Well priced, lots of interesting animals and the enclosures are large and often very natural looking. The setting of the zoo within a wooded area is also very pretty. The goat petting pen is very good fun for children and adults alike.
It's obvious the people working there really care. If you compare zoo Ostrava 6 years ago and now it's heart warming. Great in summer as well as winter. In summer if you want to avoid queues on weekends I would definitely go in the morning. Animals are great and in good condition and they are placed all over the zoo you will have a nice walk. Most of the paths are accessible even for disabled but bear in mind it's a bit hilly. Do not miss hippos and two elephant girls...adorable. Enjoy!
If you have kids, there is nice place to spend free day! there is a Kids ZOO, where you could feed small goats wit special food from machine. Then you could try Zoo train, one trip 30 CZK per person, you save time in your way back (and save your feet to go to the small hill...). Nice to see small elephants or other attractive animals like lions, gepards, monkeys, parrots...
A great place if you are in Ostrava for a few days and have a bit of time (especially on a weekend). If you stay in Park Inn or Mercure, take the tram up the hill and go visit it. It's been superbly sorted, in the woods and it feels really natural. Loads of great animals, well looked after. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Plus at prices varying between 80-120 crowns, it certainly won't hurt your wallet ...
It's quite big zoo with a lot of different species, all with enough of space. The price is cheap. I visited it in winter but i will return in summer to make better photos
I have been at this place many times and everytime I see something new. It is a great place to have fun and learn new things.
