Description from Prague TV
As an expat living in Prague, I’m often asked for suggestions of sites to see while visiting Prague, and I always suggest the Prague Zoo. Outside of the amazing topography which allows for pens of trilling mountain goats, and a great view of Prague, there is also the wonderful story of how the Prague Zoo rose from the depths of the 2002 flood waters. The lower part of the property was entirely underwater, and not only was there loss of property, there, unfortunately, was loss of animals due to the water level rising so quickly. The number of deaths would have been much higher if not for the amazing response of the local community. There are story boards which detail the destruction and the rebuilding effort at the zoo. I promise you, outside of a monkey jumping out of a cage and stealing your wallet, you will be happy you visited, and you will leave with a smile on your face. Prague was hit with the worst flooding in over 500 years in August 2002, the Zoo was also badly affected, see here to learn more.

Brilliant zoo! It is on the top 10 list of world's best zoos and deservedly so. Since the floods in 2002 the zoo has spent a lot of money and effort to rebuild the devastated lower section. There are small play areas dotted around the entire compound and you are bound to come across a little shop or café with refreshments just about around every enclosure section. It is possible to borrow carts or strollers at the main entrance, so you don’t have to lug yours to Troja. Very important for those with little children. If you wish to view the entire zoo, make sure to reserve the entire afternoon at least. It can easily take 4-5 hours to walk around. The Indonesian jungle is my favorite part, together with the polar bears, and otters, oh and the meerkats, and the squirrel monkeys and gorilla babies, actually I really like the whole thing. The zoo certainly is one of the best places to visit in Prague, equally enjoyable for children as well as adults. I also have to say I did not notice the lack of chimps until Sam pointed it out. So full 5 points from me.

An excellent zoo, with plenty of room to roam for both you and the animals and new features and improvements added at an impressive rate. I'm penalizing them one star due to a lack of chimps but it's still a great day out.
