Ride at the bus station
Ava always rides this horse while we wait for the bus to Prague. "The monkeys have pink, puffy butts" was the response Ava game my mom concerning the zoo. We had walked the entire zoo, which took approximately 5 hours, and that was her big report. I had to laugh. It was a great day and the weather was perfect. It wasn't too hot or too cold. It was mostly overcast, but there were quite a few moments of sunshine. Overall, I thought it was great and the animals were also busy enjoying the weather.
I was happy to see that there were a lot of baby animals. They were all so cute! The were only two big disappointments. They were cleaning the seal enclosure and the seals were therefore nowhere to be found. Also, I was really excited to see the new elephant enclosure, but the elephant were all inside when we went to see them. Lucky for me, my favorite zoo animals are the monkeys, and they were in full swing (ha ha). Ava likes the giraffes and was happy to see they have so many. The field for the giraffes and the zebras is across the road from the rest of the zoo and it is a really good size.
The zoo also had a chairlift! I was really surprised to see this. Half of the zoo is on top of a big hill and the other half is at the bottom. We climbed the hill right away and saw all those animals. Then I saw the chairlift on the way down. Ava wanted to ride it, but I said there was no point in riding it this time and gave her the famous parent line, "Maybe next time". Another thing I have to say about the Prague Zoo is that the planners really thought about kids. There were random play areas all over the zoo. It gave Ava a chance to interact with the other kids and have a good time. They also had a petting zoo and pony rides for a dollar. Of course, Ava did both. Overall, it was a really nice zoo that I would visit again given the opportunity.
We still had about two hours to kill before getting on the bus. So, we rode the subway to a random stop I had never seen before and got off. It was really a pretty area with parks and a nice church. I took a
few photos inside the church and along the streets. I won't babble too much this post. Enjoy the photos and the videos!
