It was pretty amazing. The food was delicious, and the show was really cool. It wasn't quite as impressive as I'd expected at first, but it was still incredible. So I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

A beautiful zoo. A lovely environment for all the animal species. Very comfortable for visitors, well-organized, and clean. We’re from Chile, and we’re not used to seeing this kind of facility. Unfortunately, when I visited with my family, some attractions—such as the aviary—weren’t open. But that didn’t take away from this lovely experience.

The Prague Zoo is one of the best in Europe, with modern facilities, spacious habitats, and a wide variety of species. Well-maintained, educational, and perfect for spending a full day exploring. Ideal for both adults and families.

The ability to buy tickets online makes the whole process quick and easy. Once we arrived, our guide—who also spoke Italian—gave us some introductory information: a bit of Czech history, notable figures, and an overview of the different areas included in the ticket, as well as the opening hours of various sites (St. Vitus Cathedral) and the schedules for some very atmospheric traditional events, such as the changing of the guard. All of these aspects made the ticket well worth the price. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the terrace.

We had a fantastic two-and-a-half-hour tour of the castle with Ross, and it was worth every minute. Ross was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the castle. He explained everything clearly, added fascinating details and stories, and kept the tour lively and interesting throughout. The pace was perfect, never rushed, and he was always happy to answer questions. Ross made the history come alive and really enhanced our visit. Highly recommended - one of the highlights of our trip.
