Zoo Na Hrádečku is a small, family-run zoological garden located near Třeboň, in the village of Horní Pěna by Jindřichův Hradec. It is an ideal destination for families with children, offering a peaceful atmosphere and close encounters with animals. The zoo was founded out of love for animals and nature, and since its opening in 2011, it has gradually grown into a cozy area that is now home to more than 100 species – from domestic pets to exotic birds, monkeys, meerkats, and llamas. Many animals are used to human contact, and visitors can feed or even pet them under the supervision of the staff.
The zoo also features a children’s playground, an educational trail, a mini-farm, and the opportunity to enjoy a pony ride. A visit to ZOO Na Hrádečku is not only fun but also educational – children can learn fascinating facts about animal care, their natural habitats, and the protection of endangered species. The zoo prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, affordable prices, and welcoming staff, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Thanks to its location, a trip to the zoo can easily be combined with other nearby attractions, such as the castle in Jindřichův Hradec or the narrow-gauge railway to Nová Bystřice.
