Ústí nad Labem Zoo, Zoological gardens in Krásné Březno, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic

Ústí nad Labem Zoo covers 26 hectares on the slope of Mariánská skála east of the city centre, in the Krásné Březno district. It keeps about 1,500 animals of 240 species, among them orangutans, southern white rhinoceroses, Somali donkeys and Malayan sun bears. The grounds run from a lower main gate to an upper gate at Dobětice.

The site dates to 1908, when a metal goods businessman named Heinrich Lumpe created a private bird park there, known as Lumpepark. Over time, that original bird collection grew into the public zoo that stands on the site today.

The zoo's name recalls Heinrich Lumpe, who founded the site in 1908 as a private bird sanctuary called Lumpepark. Today visitors can watch scheduled displays such as sea lion training, an elephant parade through the grounds, and a flying demonstration by birds of prey.

The zoo sits across two levels, so moving from one part to the other on foot takes some effort, especially for those with limited mobility. A small train runs between the lower and upper sections, which makes getting around much easier for all visitors.

The grounds include a dinosaur trail where models of prehistoric creatures are placed in a natural setting, which sets this zoo apart from a typical visit. There is also a petting section where younger visitors can get close to gentler animals, separate from the main animal enclosures.
