Excellent zoo overall and one of the best places touristic attractions in Pilsen. - Ticket price is very reasonable (150 CZK I.e ~€6 for adults). - Really hard to cover everything in a day, except if you are really energetic. Plan at least 5-6 hours so you satisfactorily cover all/most regions. - Very good (and cheap) for kids. They have also added parks and playgrounds for them, as well as reasonably cheap restaurants for snacks and drinks all over the zoo. - Vending machines exist that offer water, drinks for reasonable prices. WC's also exist all over the zoo and are clean. - Zoo is divided into regions, e.g. Australia, Africa, Europe, etc. This makes it organized. Each region has a couple of special exhibitions/museums that are really interesting (no extra charge) - Some suggestions for improvement: * add a few tour guides * some sections need better regular maintenance/cleanliness (some places really stink and are not very clean) * add more signs to indicate how to rapidly exit the place; the zoo is huge and it's easy to get lost in there

One of the best zoos I have been to as far as enclosures go. You can actually see the animals and at a close distance. The lions on display was magnificent . With the male lion showing himself of in all his glory. What a beautiful beast. The zoo is wide spread and is actually set on the side of a hill. So put some good shoes on as there is alot of walking up and down. There is also a WW2 tunnel complex from a German anti aircraft complex that was an added bonus. And even a Sherman American medium tank on display! There's lots of trees for shade and sitting areas and you can buy refreshments, lunch, coffee etc around the zoo site. Had a great day, with great views . There's two entrances with parking. One at the top. And one at the bottom. And right next door to the zoo at the top end is Dino Park with very life like dinosaurs that move and make growling noises. Great place for the kid's as well as the adults. Well worth the visit.

Very good experience overall. The Dino park is very childish and small and is only good for children but it is very expensive. Don't waste your money for the Dino park. The zoo is beautiful and has lots of snack bars around. Quite big and we needed about 5 hours plus as there are many many animals to admire. The lemurs are the best as they roam freely around you. That alone got our money back which is very fun! The birds look the most unhealthy in the zoo as the cages have been built too low. The birds are not able to fly at all. The leopard mother is very fierce but her 2 cubs are extremely adorable. Recommended to go if you are in that area!

Despite the rain, this zoo visit was absolutely worth it! The living and maintenance conditions for the animals’ welfare are a huge plus. The zoo is spacious, clean, and well-organized for both visitors and animals. Besides admiring various animals, it’s also very informative and educational. There are plenty of toilets and resting spots to enjoy a snack. It’s a very large zoo, and you’ll need almost half a day to see everything. I couldn’t see it all, but that just invited me to come back again. On all points, a well-deserved 5 stars!

This is seriously nice zoo with many animals and clever distribution. There are just two things what I didn't like so that's why the 4 stars. 1. I was thirsty most of the time. Based on my opinion, there are not enough places where to buy a beer or something to drink. 2. I know that there is no help to this but I didn't like that the zoo is so close to the houses and apartments. It was disturbing for me to stand nearby fence with animals on my right and cars and prefabs on my left.

ZOO was great. But made a mistake to stop at "Sibiřský Srub" for a quick bite. The old lady behind the counter made several loud comments about how irritated she was because the ZOO was too busy today due the nice weather. Several items were out. Which is understandable, but bc of that I had to wait twice in the long line, since my family was sitting outside holding the table. Food was less then average, my potato pancakes looked like the plastic food from play kitchen.
