Experience in detail
Travel to the zoo a little differently - on board a ship or steamer. You will avoid the stress of traffic in the city and you and your children will have a great experience. During a comfortable cruise, you will have the opportunity to show your children the interesting views and sights of Prague. You can buy some refreshments.
A regular boat line departs from Rašín Embankment and will take you to the boat dock on Císařský ostrov near the zoo. The cruise takes 75 minutes.
Then it´s just a few minutes long walk to get to Zoo. It´s one of the most beautiful zoos in Europe.
The Prague Zoo was founded in 1931 and despite major political changes and reversals of the 20th century and despite the great floods in 2002, it has continued to grow to its current form. It is the 5th most visited and most popular zoo in the world. There are 10 pavilions and 150 exhibits. At the end of last year, 5,375 species of animals lived in the Prague Zoo. In addition to the exhibits, visitors can enjoy the beautiful nature of the Troja Basin, a cable car, a train, and much more.
When you have enjoyed enough of the zoo, you will head back to Císařský ostrov, where you will embark again and go back to the city center.
Such a day will be an experience for children and adults that they will remember for a long time.
