An experienced resident of the post-communist countries will easily recognize the state-owned enterprise: neglected, with pretension for past glory, with staff who do not speak any foreign language and grumble in their native, with the most important task - the abidance of working hours and with the biggest reform - the change of the access regime. This is what the Zoo looks like. Created with great love for animals, it offers them wide living spaces that, due to overall carelessness, look more like wetlands than a controlled park environment. Bushes provide amazing hiding opportunities, so the presence of most of the inhabitants can only be guessed by the signs. The area is huge – personal records are set for walking, especially given the insufficiency and incomprehensibility of the signboards – where there are inscriptions in a foreign language, they are in small print, as if not to reveal state secrets. Google Maps can mislead about the entrance and exit, as it refers to existing ones in the past – for me the mistake was with two tram stops, which, once you go in the wrong direction, become four. I tell this without malevolence, but with the intention of warning of possible surprises. To put it succinctly: there are more pleasant ways to spend an afternoon, although the park is a park and whether you walk here or there hardly matters so much. But you can always support the trade union activity by paying the entrance fee.
