Nejnavštěvovanější místo na Moravě...
EN: The most visited tourist spot of Moravia...
...se nenachází v Brně, ale kousek od Zlína. Nutno podotknout, že naprosto zaslouženě jím je ZOO Lešná. O popularitě se přesvědčíte už při parkování, zvlášť, když dorazíte až kolem poledne. Ač se rozlohou 52 hektarů a 216 druhy řadí mezi středně velké, návštěvnost přes tři čtvrtě milionů osob ji katapultují na druhou pozici hned po Praze.
Toto je fotografie do soutěže aroundtheworld.
EN: ...isn’t in Brno, as one might expect, but just a short drive from Zlín. And truth be told, it fully deserves the title. We're talking about Lešná Zoo – a place that wins hearts as easily as it attracts crowds. You’ll get a sense of its popularity the moment you arrive, especially if it’s around noon and you're circling the parking lot in search of a free space.
Despite covering a relatively modest 52 hectares and housing 216 animal species, Lešná Zoo draws over three quarters of a million visitors each year. These numbers alone shoot it straight to second place in the Czech Republic's most visited destinations – right after Prague.
Mezi největší atrakce patří výběh slonů, pavilon s rejnoky a asi nejmladší zámek v ČR z konce 19. století.
Během putování po oblastech Afrika, Asie, Austrálie a Amazonie se návštěvníci několikrát dostanou do blízkého kontaktu se zvířaty. Rejnoky (se zámkem je jejich pavilon označen jako 5.oblast) si mohou nejen pohladit, ale zakoupeným pamlskem i nakrmit.
EN: Some of the biggest highlights include the elephant enclosure, the stingray pavilion, and what’s likely the youngest chateau in the Czech Republic – a charming gem from the late 19th century.
As visitors journey through themed areas like Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Amazon, they’ll find themselves getting surprisingly close to the animals more than once. In Zone 5 – marked on the map alongside the chateau – the stingrays are the real stars. You can not only touch them but also feed them with special treats you can buy right on the spot.
ZOO je zároveň i botanickou zahradou s cizokrajnými rostlinami, pěstovanými podél cest a v tropickém skleníku Yucatán. Asie je reprezentována zenovou zahradou.
Myšleno je i na malé návštěvníky. Areálem projíždí Zebra vlak, u občerstvení jsou hřiště, v areálu je i lanové centrum.
EN: The zoo doubles as a botanical garden, featuring exotic plants growing along the walkways and inside the tropical greenhouse known as Yucatán. A touch of Asia awaits in the form of a peaceful Zen garden — a perfect spot to pause and take in the atmosphere.
Little visitors haven’t been forgotten either. A cheerful Zebra train makes its way through the grounds, playgrounds pop up near refreshment stands, and there's even a rope park tucked inside the zoo for kids with extra energy to burn.
Zahrada je stále vylepšována. Nyní se dokončuje chodník kolem sloního výběhu (tentokrát byli tito obrovští savci téměř mimo zorné pole), v přípravě je expozice wombatů.
Porovnám-li ZOO Zlín s brněnskou ZOO, kterou jsem navštívil minulý měsíc, musím konstatovat, že co do atraktivnosti a udržovanosti je menší zlínská zahrada daleko před Brnem. A více neř třísettisícový rozdíl v návštěvnosti je toho pádným důkazem.
EN: The garden keeps getting better and better. Right now, a new pathway around the elephant enclosure is nearing completion — which is great news, as these gentle giants were almost out of sight this time. And there’s more to look forward to: a brand-new wombat exhibit is currently in the works.
If I compare Zlín Zoo with the Zoo in Brno, which I visited just last month, I have to say that in terms of attractiveness and overall upkeep, the smaller Zlín garden is miles ahead. And the difference speaks for itself — over 300,000 more visitors make that point loud and clear.

Znám, taky mám odtamtud pár článků. Podle mě je to pocitově nejhezčí zoo v Česku.
Jen kdyby byla trochu blíže k Brnu.
