Ostrava Zoo - Bolatice

It’s hard to go wrong with a zoo in kids’ minds. Is this one the biggest, coolest one you’ll go to? No, but my six-year-old daughter enjoyed it. Since we went on a Thursday morning in August during peak season, admission was higher than other months. It cost 260 CZK for both of us to go. Not a bad price for a potentially all-day outing. The zoo is spread out either long trails that go through woods. That means you’ll walk for minutes without seeing any animals. The animals themselves are organized around houses where you can walk inside to see them or venture outside since the cages expand to the outside in most cases. They have monkeys, hippos, giraffes, birds, fish, and all the other usual suspects. Where they stand out are the play areas throughout the zoo with the biggest playground being near the entrance. There are enough restrooms and snack areas.

Very nice zoo with a lot of animals. I would recommend visiting in winter cous there are less people so you have more space to explore the area.

Stunning Zoo, unlike others we've seen so far. There are secluded quiet areas accessible by natural pathways, you can stroll between the trees and sit nearby the natural lakes. There are expositions with birds that you can enter and see the birds without any barriers. Beautiful playgrounds for kids as well. 5 stars.

Fantastic place for spending few Hours during weekend. Great variety of animals in beautifully arranged displays and green areas. Playgrounds and shaded areas are giving a break time during sightseeing. Some restaurants and snack bars (expensive). Greatly recommend for families.

Outstanding, very good maintained and clean zoo which is managed by people with passion. Astonishing playground which can drag your kids into play for hours. This zoo is probably one of the best if not the only one worth visiting tourist destination. The only drawback is the parking why in the world it isn't possible to pay by card? Good thing though that the parking guy accepts Polish zloty and Euro.
