Do kids need to speak Czech to join the games?

No. The stations are physical games like stilt walking, sack races, bungee running and a bouncy castle, so kids can join in by watching the others.

Where in the zoo are the activity stations?

At the 2026 edition most were in the Children's Zoo (Dětská zoo), with the bouncy castle and obstacle course on the Veselovského meadow, face painting at the Archa theater and the Dixie band on the Education Center terrace.

How do we get to the zoo without a car?

Take metro line C to Nádraží Holešovice, then bus 112 to the Zoo Praha stop by the main entrance. Buses run every few minutes.

Is it cheaper to buy tickets online?

For adults, yes: the e-ticket is 300 Kč against 330 Kč at the gate, and it skips the cashier line.

About

Prague Zoo marks International Children's Day with a day of games run by the Prague city police. Kids move between stations for stilt walking, bungee running, sack races and target throwing, with a bouncy castle, face painting and a small traffic school where they learn road safety by playing. Between stations there is the whole zoo to see, and the police Dixie band plays for the grown-ups.

Kids 3-15: 1 Kč, adults from 300 Kč
