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.

Ze ZOO v Plzni mám mnoho pozitivních (1) a jednu velmi negativní (2) zkušenost. 1) Plzeňská ZOO je krásná, klidná a netradičně pojatá hned v několika ohledech. Je rozdělená do několika celků podle geografických oblastí, ve kterých najdete jak zvířata tak rostliny, které do dané oblasti patří. Jednotlivá oddělení jsou celkově stylizovaná do prostředí dané oblasti, obklopí vás v nich kromě zvířat i rostliny, kameny, step, písek, vlhkost, teplota, v některých částech i typické stavby, malby nebo dekorace. Toto netradiční pojetí a velmi povedené provedení navozují pocit, že jste opravdu v jiné části světa. Zvlášť doporučuji pavilon "Království jedu", kde kromě jedovatých živočichů najdete i mnoho zajímavostí o vědě zabývající se jedovatými zvířaty a jedy samotnými. Pro děti je zde spousta neokázalých a pěkných atrakcí, kontaktní zookoutek pro menší, hned za ním průchod velkým akváriem, kde jste přímo "pod vodou" a pro větší děti interiérové "hřiště" s provazovými prolézačkami. 2) Na závěr ovšem POZOR PRO VŠECHNY RODIČE menších dětí a zároveň dotaz na vedení zoo, proč to tak je. U některých výběhů jsou z vnější části elektrické ohradníky, většinou ve výši nad kotníky, někde výš. V návštěvním řádu se píše, že ohradníky chrání zvířata před predátory, nevím, před jakými predátory chtějí dvěma ohradníky chránit ptáky v kleci s hustou mříží, ale dobrá. Upozornění na ohradníky nejsou ze všech stran klecí a ohradníky jsou zkrátka v místech, kde má člověk při prohlížení zvířat nohy. Moje dvouletá dcera si sedla "na bobek" u klece ptáků naproti velbloudům, aby se ke zvířeti přiblížila, kolenem se dotkla ohradníku (tak, jak se to musí stávat mnoha dětem), koleno jí zrudlo, vyskákaly jí na něm centimetrové bolestivé puchýře a rudý šrám. Přestože nepláče ani při velkých pádech, teď plakala opravdu dlouho a bylo vidět, že ji to bolí. Klec ze strany, u které jsme stáli, nebyla označená upozorněním. Nechápu ohradníky vně výběhů a za sebe bych doporučila aspoň zauvažovat o lepším řešení. Rodič sice může po celou návštěvu sledovat, není-li někde náhodou ohradník, ale to si zoo pak moc neužije. Takže pozor na to, ať vaše děti nemají podobnou bolestivou zkušenost.

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.
