How do we get there by public transport?

Take metro line C to Nádraží Holešovice, then bus 112 to the zoo. There is free bike parking at the main and southern entrances.

Should we buy tickets ahead?

In past seasons tickets were sold online and at the entrance, and buying online was cheaper and skipped the line.

What you need to know

Outdoors in Prague's winter, so dress kids warmly, with gloves and hats for the full loop
Paved zoo paths, so strollers and wheelchairs can do the whole trail
A new theme each winter, so families who went last year see a different set of lanterns

About

Garden of Lights turns Prague Zoo into an evening walking trail of giant lantern animals, light tunnels and glowing gardens, some with sound and interactive effects. The theme changes each winter: African wildlife in 2024, wild Asia in 2025. Kids spot lit-up big cats, crocodiles and birds along the paths after dark. It suits families who want a zoo outing that still works once the sun sets early.
