Tropical hall

Year of opening: 2006

Step into a tropical jungle full of life.


More than 20 animal species and 170 plant species create a rich ecosystem, where most animals roam freely. You’ll encounter sloths, tamarins, colorful birds, reptile and amphibian terrariums, and aquariums with freshwater species.

Interesting facts:

  • Free-roaming animals – in the lush vegetation, you can see white-faced tamarins, two-toed sloths, green, yellow-backed, red-backed, and red-headed parrots, three-colored cotingas, and agami herons.

  • Reptiles and amphibians – the terrariums are home to crocodile dragons and various species of tree frogs.

  • Aquariums – home to turtles and a variety of freshwater fish species.

  • Giant otters – since 2012, Zlín Zoo is the only zoo in the Czech Republic and Slovakia where you can see this rare species, both inside the hall and in the outdoor pool.

  • Jungle plants – 170 species from Central America, complemented by artificial trees that support the hall structure and conceal the ventilation system.

  • Suspended walkway – walk among the tree canopies and explore the hall from a bird’s-eye view.

Notice:

Entry to walk-through and interactive exhibits within Zlín Zoo is at your own risk.
