Minizoo Malá Chuchle, Wildlife sanctuary in Chuchelský háj, Prague, Czech Republic.
Minizoo Malá Chuchle is a small wildlife facility in the Chuchelský háj forest area of Prague where European deer, wild boars, Eurasian lynx, red foxes, and eagle owls inhabit open enclosures. The animals live in spaces designed to resemble their natural surroundings with room to roam and behave as they would in the wild.
The site was established as a care facility for injured animals that cannot be released back into the wild. It operates in connection with Prague's Wildlife Rescue Station and provides long-term shelter for animals in need.
The place functions as a window into local wildlife, where visitors come to observe animals that belong to the region and learn about them firsthand. Families use it as a way to connect with nature and understand the animals that share their landscape.
Entry is free year-round and the site is accessible on foot without difficulty. A small refreshment stand operates on weekends from April through September, which is helpful if you plan to spend several hours exploring.
The facility offers online streaming that lets visitors watch nocturnal animals when the physical location is closed. This gives people a chance to see animals active at night and observe behaviors they would otherwise miss during daytime visits.
