Zoopark Olovnice — Attraction in okres Mělník

I cannot advise anyone who genuinely cares for animals to go here. Nearly all animals in this “zoo” can be touched - and there are no guidelines and no staff supervising the interaction with the animals. I saw a girl kicking chickens, another girl picking up a newborn bunny from a cage and throwing it carelessly back into the nest, countless kids picking up a baby goat roughly again and again, meerkats trying to hide in a cage corner. There were no possibilities for retreat for the animals to get privacy or to calm down. Particularly the guinea pigs and poor bunnies, kept in large numbers in tiny cages, were super scared and stressed - it’s sad to see.

There were nicer parts such as the area for larger animals with camels, a yak, horses etc. These animals had more space and weren’t bothered by the visitors. The big cats in far too small enclosures though and all the animals there seemed dirty, uncared for, unhappy, traumatised :( Overall the experience was disappointing and I feel bad for the animals kept there - their welfare is definitely not as important there as it should be. Please consider this...

Amazing Experience – Perfect Day Out for Families!

We visited the zoo with my English family and had an absolutely amazing time! One of the highlights was the chance to interact with different animals – my 4-year-old daughter and stepson were over the moon. The staff were so friendly and patient, and it really made the experience special for the little ones.

What stood out most was how close you can get to the enclosures – it felt really immersive and unique, without ever feeling unsafe. It wasn’t busy at all, which made it even more enjoyable and relaxing.

I also want to mention how helpful the owner was when I called with questions about payment. It’s super easy – you can either pay with cash or scan a QR code. Very straightforward.

There are lots of lovely spots around the zoo to sit and take a break, all with great views of the animals. It’s just a peaceful, well-thought-out place that’s clearly run with care.

All in all, it was an amazing experience and definitely worth the visit. We’ll...

It’s truly a zoo, but on a smaller scale. It seems to be a family-run business. The family, whose house is part of the premises, dedicates all their time to running it. It’s admirable to find such a place at the edge of a village, especially since they have real predators and genuinely large and exotic animals (lion, tiger, camel, yak, kangaroo...). The location is also very suitable for children. There are places to simply sit and relax while enjoying the view of the surrounding landscape. The entrance fee is not high, and we were happy to contribute to their efforts. A very interesting place. We highly...
