This weekend, the Prague Zoo will be filled with fresh insect specialties. The menu, served on the terrace of the Education Center near the main entrance, will include locusts in banana batter, crickets in garlic or skewers of several types of insects.

Visitors can look forward to free tastings, commented cooking, and demonstrations of farm-raised invertebrates. People will also learn about the benefits of this somewhat exotic cuisine. But the residents of the Prague Zoo will also enjoy themselves throughout the weekend – meerkats, anteaters or rarely bred lizards from the new Gobi exhibition await special feeding.
