About
The Children's Tram at Prague Zoo is a delightful bonus for young families visiting one of Europe's top-rated zoos. Running along a scenic route through the zoo grounds, the tram gives little ones a fun, relaxed way to travel through sections of the park without wearing out small legs on long walks.
For families with toddlers and preschoolers, this is an especially practical addition to a zoo day. Young children who start flagging mid-afternoon can be revived with a tram ride that covers ground efficiently while still delivering a sense of adventure. Older kids may ride for the novelty, though the tram experience is best appreciated by the youngest members of the family.
The tram fits naturally into a broader Prague Zoo visit — and since zoo admission is one of the best family value propositions in Prague, adding the tram into the day costs very little extra. The zoo itself is consistently ranked among the world's best, and the tram helps families make the most of the sprawling grounds.
The route offers lovely views of the zoo's various habitats and the surrounding natural landscape, making it a scenic experience for parents as well. Operating hours can vary seasonally, so it's worth checking in advance to make sure the tram is running on your planned visit day.
Combining the tram with a full day at Prague Zoo — including the Indonesian Jungle pavilion, the African House, and the Gibbon Island — gives families one of the most complete and memorable days Prague offers for kids.
