The idea of creating a city zoo appeared in 1935, and after just a couple of years a menagerie appeared on Konikova Street. After the end of the Second World War, he moved to a new place, where the laying of a botanical garden began in parallel. The grand opening of the Brno Zoo took place in 1953, and since then tens of thousands of animal lovers from all over the world visit it every year.
