Welcome to Zoo Dvůr Králové
As children, we all probably dreamt of going on adventures into the wild. Those long-ago family trips to zoos are now cherished memories. Now you can experience the mysteries of Africa at Dvůr Králové Zoo without having to travel to far off distant lands.
First, go to the PLANNING A VISIT section and check out the essential information listed there. Then it’s time to gather up friends and family and hit the road. Wonderful experiences that will linger long in the mind await!
Tip from the giraffes: All those wanting to learn more about zoo should head for the ABOUT THE ZOO section, which is crammed with everything you could ever wish to know.
The zoo is now in the winter season
Have you ever seen a tiger in the snow? Although it is winter season at the zoo, there are lots of creatures that don’t mind the cold. All of the houses and outdoor exhibits in the normal part of the zoo are open, even the giraffe, zebra and rhino enclosures.
To see what happens at other times of the year, click on the links in the top left corner of this page, or go directly to the spring, summer or autumn seasons.
