Zoos & aquariums
Brno Zoo
Overview
Brno Zoo is a zoological garden located in the city's Bystrc district. Established in 1953, the site features animal exhibits across hilly, wooded grounds. Visitors go to view wildlife from various continents along forested walking paths.
Getting There
From central Brno, tram lines 1 and 3 travel directly to the Zoologická zahrada stop in roughly 20 to 25 minutes. The entrance is a short walk from the tram platform.
Time to Spend
Plan for 2 to 3 hours on site. The area covers an incline, requiring a moderate amount of uphill walking between different enclosure zones.
When to Visit
Morning is ideal for cooler temperatures and higher animal activity. Spring and autumn provide comfortable weather for walking the outdoor routes. Weekends and summer school holidays draw larger crowds, whereas weekday visits are noticeably quieter.

You can pair a visit with other nearby points of interest:
