Bojnice Zoo, National zoological garden in Bojnice, Slovakia
Bojnice Zoo is a sprawling facility in the District of Prievidza that houses animals from many continents in naturalistic settings. The grounds contain hundreds of different species spread across multiple enclosures designed to reflect their original habitats.
The zoo opened in 1955 under a regional designation but later developed into a national institution. It received its current status as Slovakia's National Zoological Garden in 2017.
The zoo serves as a center for wildlife education where visitors connect with animals from around the world in settings that mimic their natural homes. People come here to learn about conservation and develop awareness about endangered species.
The zoo adjusts its operating hours with the seasons, staying open longer during warmer months. Wheelchair-accessible pathways run throughout the grounds, making it navigable for visitors with mobility needs.
The zoo is the only place in Slovakia where visitors can see certain animal species found nowhere else in the country. These rare inhabitants draw people looking for wildlife experiences unavailable anywhere else locally.
