In the lower part of the Prague Zoo area, more and more animals and plants are gradually added. It is a Light Zoo project, which is being prepared by the company Garden of Lights. The light zoo will include lanterns of 33 species of animals for a total number of 110 individuals, as well as plants, projections on the ground, or photo points. The opening is planned for Friday, October 25, but tickets are already on sale.
A similar light installation will be the first ever in a Czech zoo; however, similar projects are common in the world. In addition to revitalizing the grounds outside the main visitor season, they also help promote “flagship species”, such as gorillas or sloths in the case of Prague Zoo. The lanterns depicting them were made especially for Prague.

There will be a separate entrance fee for the Light Zoo. From 25 to 31 October, it will be open from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and subsequently from 1 November to 16 February on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on other weekdays from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. It will remain closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
We believe that the Light Zoo will excite not only for children but for all the family!
