Bojnice Zoo
Národná zoologická záhrada Bojnice
Slovakia's oldest and largest national zoo, right next to Bojnice Castle, so you can visit both in one day.
The zoo opened in 1955 and covers about 40 hectares, housing around 500 species, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and native Carpathian animals. It has a monkey house and a children's area. The zoo is laid out along a hillside, so expect a fair amount of walking uphill, which makes it a good choice for families. Admission is about 10 euros, and it can be bundled with a castle ticket.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–17:00 (seasonal hours)
