The Best Zoos in Prague (city)
How this list is ordered: by how complete our listing is — how much we hold on opening hours, ticket prices, accreditation, photographs, animals and facilities. It is a measure of our own coverage, not a judgement of the venue. We hold no visitor scores or conservation assessments, so “best” here means every zoo in Prague (city) that qualifies for the list, fullest entry first.

As of June 2024 fifteen pavilions were open to the public. The zoo was founded and is funded by Prague city hall as a contributory organisation, and it keeps worldwide studbooks for some of the threatened species it works with.

Rákosův pavilon
Zoo in Praha
The pavilion houses a large collection of exotic birds, mostly parrots, and is named for the parrot breeder Stanislav Rákos (1931-2012), who gave money towards the build. It opened in September 2019, at that point one of 13 pavilions on the site open to visitors. Plans had called for about 30 bird species, but 38 were on show at opening, 27 of them within this building.
Our ranking methodology
This is not a ranking. The 2 venues above are listed alphabetically by name, the same order used throughout this site. We do not collect visitor reviews, star ratings, ticket-sales figures or a conservation-impact score, so none of those exist here to rank by — “best” in this page’s title means every venue that qualifies for this list, not first-to-last by quality. If we ever add a data source robust enough to support an honest ranking, this note and the order above will change together.
