The zoo, which contains more than 400 species of animals, some of them are recognized as endangered. A children's zoo with pets and a children's railway are on site. The atmosphere of different climatic zones is recreated in numerous pavilions. The most impressive is the Indonesian Jungle Pavilion, built in 2002. Only in the Prague Zoo, the only one in all of Europe, do Galapagos turtles live.
