Zoopark Zelčín, Zoo in Zelčín, Hořín, Czech Republic

Zoopark Zelčín is a zoo located in the Hořín area, housing a range of animal species in dedicated spaces and enclosures. The grounds feature pathways that allow visitors to observe the animals closely throughout their visit.

Zoopark Zelčín opened as a contact zoo in the village of Zelčín near Mělník, beside the Vraňany–Hořín shipping canal, and grew to cover 8 hectares. In 2022 it added meerkats and giant tortoises to its breeding stock. Its model is direct contact: visitors walk among sheep, goats, llamas, ponies and poultry in shared enclosures.

The zoo is a contact farm park where visitors walk freely among sheep, goats, llamas, ponies, turkeys, chickens and ducks in shared enclosures, and can stroke and feed them. Keepers lead commented feedings at the enclosures of kangaroos, emus, rheas, maras, mini pigs, cows and horses.

The zoo is open year-round, including winter, so animals can be visited outside the main season. The grounds cover 8 hectares near the Vraňany–Hořín shipping canal, about 5 km from Mělník. Animals in closed enclosures, such as kangaroos, emus, nandus, maras, mini pigs, cows or horses, are shown by keepers during guided feeding.
