From December 2 to 20, Prague Zoo will offer free special pre-Christmas tours for kindergarten and elementary school students. Such guided walks will go after creatures known mainly from fairy-tale books or television screens and dispel various entrenched myths associated with them.
What does a real devil look like? Where do mythical dragons live? And what is it really like with dancing lemurs? Children will learn all this and much more on tours that can be booked now.
Schools can use the favorable price list for school groups to enter the zoo – kindergarten pupils pay CZK 50, and elementary school pupils CZK 100.
As part of the program, children will not only have the opportunity to learn interesting information about animals, but also actively participate in various games and activities, during which they will often work up a sweat. Experienced guides adapt the narrative and tasks to make them fun and understandable for all ages.
