PRAGUE ZOO WILL DELIGHT ANIMALS WITH CHRISTMAS TREES

PRAGUE ZOO WILL DELIGHT ANIMALS WITH CHRISTMAS TREES

On Monday and Tuesday, Prague Zoo will scent the Christmas trees. Thematic enrichment will be provided during special guided feedings for more than ten species of animals. For example, for elephants, bison, or porcupines, unsold conifers will be not only a treat but also great fun. Curious kea parrots will explore the trees, and our golden piglets, the African brush-tailed porcupines from the Dja Reserve, will also play with them.

New edition

In short, carnivores will not be left out either. The keepers will attract the bear-like devils with conifers and quails, and the Cape honey badgers will wait for trees decorated with wicker balls filled with meat. For the first time, the Prague Zoo will provide Christmas trees with apples or squid for the twin polar bears Gregor and Aleut.

Various types of enrichment, such as unusual toys or food, encourage animals to play, explore, or discover, which is important for their mental and physical activity and well-being.

For the media: A meeting for journalists will take place on Monday at 11:40 at the northern entrance to the Prague Zoo. Please send your accreditation along with your phone number to dostalkova@zoopraha.cz. In the email, please remember to indicate whether you will arrive by car or public transport.

Dvorec Zoo: A Close Encounter with Wildlife in the Heart of South Bohemia

The Dvorec Zoo, located in the picturesque landscape of South Bohemia near Borovany, is an ideal place for all nature lovers, families with children, and animal enthusiasts. This private zoo has built a strong reputation over its existence due to its personal approach to the animals, emphasis on their well-being, and authentic experience for visitors.

The theater in Řeznická will offer the first title from the free trilogy of plays by Maria von Mayenburg in its Czech premiere.

Spring at the Theatre in Řeznická will bring the Czech premiere of the tragicomedy with a short but apt title Ex, by the acclaimed German playwright Maria von Mayenburg. Under the direction of Jakub Šmíd, the central roles will be played by actors Zuzana Zlatohlávková, Lenka Zbranková, and Jiří Š Hájek. The play is based on the biting and precise dialogue of the married couple Daniel and Sibille. The essentially problem-free life of a successful upper-middle-class couple with two children is strongly stagnating and deepening its crisis. When Daniel's ex shows up at the door one evening, there is no turning back. Or is there?

The first big open-air event of the season in Prague is heading to Štvanice - 19 DJs on 4 stages.

While most parties in Prague start after midnight, this one will kick off at one in the afternoon. Sound Open Air returns on May 23rd and will present an all-day takeover on Štvanice, featuring a strong international lineup on two outdoor stages and a format that remains more of an exception than a rule in Prague. In May, the island between the arms of the Vltava River will transform into an open dance area with a view of the city and four stages spread across Štvanice. As the sun sets, the event will move indoors to Fuchs2, where it will continue until 6:00 AM.

In South Moravia, a tasting of... beer specialties awaits!

Southern Moravia is associated with wines of exceptional quality, but over the last decade, breweries of all sizes have also emerged and continue to grow here. They are collecting one award after another, and it's time to start discovering this phenomenon during trips through the sunniest region of the Czech Republic. Local brewers craft not only the classics but also a wonderfully diverse array of specialties that delight beer experimenters and female clientele alike, as each batch carries the signature of its creator and is often a very playful affair.

In mid-May, over 20 winemakers will arrive in Prague. They will bring seven thousand bottles of rosé wine.

A total of 36 stalls, including 21 winemakers, tastings of rosé wines and clarets, along with suitable gastronomy and a rich accompanying program – all this will be offered at the 15th edition of the Růžový máj festival. It will take place on May 16th on the right bank of the Vltava River at Rašínovo nábřeží.
