Zlín-Lešná Zoo, Zoological garden in Fryšták, Czech Republic.

The 48-hectare zoological garden houses 1,163 animals from 205 species alongside a botanical garden containing 13,000 plant varieties.

The zoo originated as a private animal collection in 1804, becoming a public institution in 1948 following nationalization after World War II.

The zoo grounds include Lešná Castle, built between 1887 and 1893, which displays collections of paintings, porcelain, and 19th-century trophies.

Located 10 kilometers from Zlín city center, the zoo provides wheelchair accessibility throughout its grounds and maintains regular guided tours.

The facility participates in vulture conservation, having released 26 endangered specimens into Bulgarian wilderness over a 15-year period.
