Zoo in Prague in winter

It may seem that visiting parks or zoos is possible only during the warm season. But the Prague Zoo is waiting for its visitors with impatience and in the winter, offering to walk through its fascinating pavilions of a closed type. Do not think that these are small, stuffy buildings where animals can barely be seen through the modest glass windows. There are three such large pavilions:

1. The most interesting is the pavilion of the Indonesian jungle. First of all, the kids love to be there most. And it has no analogues in the world, which makes it unique. There is always the right temperature, so the unique tropical plants and animals feel at home. Visitors can observe the life of the inhabitants of the pavilion from the roof itself.
2. Many are happy to visit the zoo in Prague in winter, to get a little distracted and plunge into the atmosphere of South Africa. The pavilion of Africa near liked the visitors and watched the life of turtles, mongooses and porcupines like children and adults.
3. It is very entertaining to watch the inhabitants of the pavilion of South America. Visitors there wait for lamas with wolves, baboons and monkeys. Many adults spend time there with no less pleasure than children.

If the legs are tired and the first signs of cold hands are visible, we immediately go to one of the cozy cafes on the territory. A very convenient moment with changing tables, vending machines with drinks and food. In fact, any whims of the children or the wishes of the parents there are taken into account. In general, in the Prague Zoo even a playground with all kinds of entertainment for children of different ages is provided.
