Ohrada Zoo, Hluboká nad Vltavou

Ohrada Zoo near Hluboká is a great family outing, especially if you want to combine the animals with Hluboká Castle or a walk in the surroundings. The grounds are easy to navigate and more approachable for children than a long tour of a historic monument.

Who this trip suits

• families with children
• guests who want an active day without long transfers between stops
• combining the zoo with Hluboká Castle

What to expect

• a zoo focused mainly on European wildlife
• the nearby Hluboká Castle and the Ohrada hunting lodge
• a child-friendly programme lasting half a day to a full day

Before you go

• check current opening hours and admission on the zoo's website
• expect larger crowds in high season
• decide in advance whether to add the castle, so the day doesn't get too full

Tip from Dvorce: For younger children the zoo and a short walk are often enough; add the castle only if the group still has energy to spare. Navázat můžete třeba výletem na Stezka korunami stromů Lipno, Dům Štěpánka Netolického a Třeboň.
