Duckling by the water-lily pond in Area A

Area A

Around the water-lily pond

The heart of Area A is a natural pond with water lilies and aquatic vegetation — common moorhens nest here every year, and kingfishers visit in season. Around the water you'll find aviaries with exotic birds, mammal and primate enclosures, a reptile house and the winter quarters.

Children look forward most to the farmyard corner, home to chickens, ducks, goats and pigeons, just like a real village yard.

Area B

Enclosures among the pools

Area B has a more open layout — spacious outdoor enclosures and keeper facilities spread around a system of pools and wetlands with bankside vegetation. This is where you'll meet the larger carnivores and hoofed animals: servals, lynxes and dingoes, zebras, camels, nilgai antelopes, llamas and rheas.

The Včelínek stream flows through the whole area, giving the park its natural character.

Macaque — future neighbour of the new monkey pavilion
Under construction

Monkey pavilion

A brand-new monkey pavilion is rising here with thirteen exhibits and outdoor enclosures, home to lemurs, marmosets and parrots — with sloths moving freely right above visitors' heads. Residents will enjoy spacious outdoor aviaries as well as modern indoor housing, keeping them comfortable all year round.

The transformation also includes a new entrance area with a modern gate, a souvenir shop and a restaurant with a café, whose viewing terrace will look out over the pond. We plan to open in full from 1 May 2026.
