Chairlift in Prague Zoo, Aerial lift in Prague Zoo, Czechia

The Chairlift in Prague Zoo connects the lower and upper sections of the zoo grounds, allowing visitors to travel between different elevation levels without walking up steep paths. The cable system operates between two stations positioned across the zoo's hilly terrain.

The chairlift opened in 1977 as a transport solution within the zoo's grounds. Technical difficulties caused a closure until 1981, when the Prague Public Transit Company took over operations and restored service.

The lift's upper station is named after Černohouska, a former vineyard estate nearby, while the lower station was planned by the children's corner. In 1988 the chairlift appeared in the Czech film Zvířata ve městě. It does not carry dogs and is not part of the Prague integrated transport tariff.

Wear comfortable shoes since the zoo terrain is hilly and walking paths vary in steepness depending on your direction. The ride itself provides good views of the grounds and serves as a welcome shortcut when exploring the zoo.

The lift's 60 single seats are spaced 4.25 metres apart and run at 0.85 m/s, so a one-way ride lasts 2 minutes 16 seconds. In 1988 it appeared in the Czech film Zvířata ve městě, and in 2019 the eight-millionth passenger was welcomed aboard.
