Lovely zoo in Brno! We got there on foot from our hotel since the parking was really small and totally packed with cars already. We went to get our tickets but unfortunately the cashier did not speak a single word English and kind of rudely suggested we should go to the other cashier. When we got in, the map was a little confusing because the paths go everywhere but if you spend a whole day in the zoo, there’s plenty of time to see every animal as we did. The enclosures of the animals were quite big and spacious compared to other zoos I’ve been to so that was good. The animals got really close as well and the bear especially seemed friendly 😸 We unfortunately didn’t get to see the polar bears because the path was unsafe but we did get to see the tigers being fed as well as some other animals who were just fed and eating. I recommend putting on some good shoes because it’s quite some hiking on some paths. It’s dog friendly but there are a few paths where the dogs can’t go which is understandable. The toilets were a bit gross and there weren’t many options in the restaurant in my opinion. Other than that, I would come again in the future, hopefully to see the polar bears!

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. Practical Information Opening hours (April to September): 9 AM to 6 PM (ticket offices close 1 hour earlier). Tickets (March to October): Adults: 190 CZK (~$8.50) Students/seniors/children (ages 3–15)/people with disabilities: 130 CZK (~$5.80) Dogs: 100 CZK (~$4.50) Main Attractions Beringia: home to brown bears, arctic foxes, lynxes, and wolves. Tigers Rocks, Tropical Kingdom (featuring Komodo dragons!), Children’s Zoo, and African Village with giraffes, zebras, coatis, and more. Przewalski’s horse: a rare species of wild horse. Feeding events: scheduled feeding of lions, seals, llamas, and more — with guided viewing. Zoo Brno is one of Central Europe’s top zoos, combining panoramic views, a wide variety of species (around 400), renowned conservation programs, and great infrastructure for families. It’s an ideal visit for both kids and adults — offering a mix of fun and learning.

We came here with Brno pass, difficult to enter as cashier didn't speak English and didn't want to accept our brno pass. The zoo is not very maintained comparing with other zoos I just visited in Europe. There were almost no staff around, the map was a drawing in the local langauge so we had to try to figure out the small picture that was given to us how to explore. The zoo is big and has many paths so you will end up losing more time going back and forth trying to find your way not miss the animals, hence we lost 3 hours and still didn't managed to see a quarter of the animals as it was impossible to figure out where to go. The animals here seemed depressed and you couldn't interact with any of them as like the zoo in Salzburg where you could feed the bunnies and pet the red panda etc. Here the red panda was very far away in the forest and you couldn't even get close to their places. Also they use a lot of cages with electric shock and very small places. I have been in may zoos but here you could tell there is animal abuse. I would reccomend the one in salzburg for those who want to interact with animals.

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

I visiting during off-peak season in December so it was almost dead quiet. Walking around, I believe I saw only 4-8 people my whole time there who were visitors. The zoo itself has a large variety of animals that are enjoyable to see but expect a lot of walking and backtracking as the routes are quite badly planned in my opinion. Most upsettingly, maintenance or construction was happening when I visited so I couldn't see the polar bears. The land mammals seem to have a good amount of space but the fishes in the aquarium section seemed pretty crammed. I believe in summer, the place would be beaming with energy but in winter most animals are low in energy. For the price they charge, I highly recommend going to this zoo if you're in the area to just have a look. The souvenir shop is also very reasonably priced and the zoo is honestly just very peaceful to be in without the crowds.

This is a great place to bring family, friends and loved ones either with children or not. There are lots to see and learn for children and adults too. Make sure to take plenty of fluids and everyone should be in good health since there is a lengthy pathway and it is ascending - going up a hill. There is also a train service offered to those who want one for a price. There are also quite a few snack, ice cream and drinks stalls dotted around the zoo for refreshments. There lots of animals, reptiles, birds and much more to see. There are also a few toilets and rest areas for one to sit and catch their breath before moving on to next destination. There is very limited parking before the entrance and the best way would be to take a bus or tram to this destination. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy a day out. Thank you and have a great time 👍🌞
