Autumn holidays at Prague Zoo

Fall Break at the Prague Zoo—the 2026 Pumpkin Festival—will bring a beloved fall tradition full of fun, colors, and pumpkins from October 29 to November 1, 2026.
Prague Zoo has prepared a varied program during which not only visitors but especially the animals from various parts of the zoo will enjoy pumpkin treats.

Over the course of four days, you can look forward to themed feedings and demonstrations in exhibits such as the African House, the Giant Tortoise Pavilion, the Valley of the Elephants, Darwin’s Crater, and the Rákos Pavilion. Each day will feature a slightly different program—the perfect opportunity to visit more than once.
