Zoopark Nehvizdy

Located just a short drive from Prague, between Čelákovice and Úvaly, Nehvizdy Zoopark was founded on the original breeding facility created by Jiří Glatt.

Since its opening, the zoo’s collection has expanded from 110 to 140 animal species in just one year, with more to come! The main concept of the zoo is a contact experience, allowing visitors to meet, pet, and even feed some of the animals.

• Interesting fact: One of the zoo’s biggest attractions is its walk-through aviary, featuring rare bird species that you won’t find in other Czech zoos. Highlights include the white-winged ibis and the great egret—the largest heron species in the world, which can be seen in only two zoos in the Czech Republic.

Throughout the year, the zoo offers a variety of events, including hands-on programs, guided feedings, and expert-led tours. There are also regular lectures and excursions for schools, kindergartens, and community groups. Kids can have fun on a small playground with trampolines and climbing structures, while parents relax at the snack stand.

Alongside a diverse range of birds, you’ll also find lemurs, tamarins, adorable Göttingen minipigs, giant kangaroos, Capuchin sheep, and capybaras.

• Tip for you: Considering a remote animal adoption? When you adopt, you’ll receive a certificate and have your name featured on the adoptive parents’ board at the zoo for a whole year. It’s a great way to support the zoo and give a unique gift to yourself or a loved one!
