One of the most beautiful Zoos I have seen. It is devides into areas characteristic of each continent. Several restaurants, icecream places, places to sit and let the kids play on a Playgrounds. There is a possibility to pet a sting ray so don´t miss that one or walking through kangaroos where you can see a cute albino one. Charming!

Building 21 was one of the tallest buildings in Europe when built, well worth a visit for the views of the city, a break at the coffee shop on top, checking out the continuous elevator (not sure of the official name), and the first floor museum that includes the famous office in an elevator.
3. The Museum of Shoemaking
Overall Ratings
5 based on 46 reviews
A show not only for the ladies is provided by this specialised museum, which you will find in the centre of the Czech shoemaking capital. More than a thousand exhibits will take you through the legendary production of the Baťa company (1884–1945) and also the history of a trade that has protected and beautified people’s feet since time immemorial. The oldest originals date back to the 16th century, Czech examples being supplemented with a unique collection of foreign shoes. Among the exhibits from around the world, you will see sandals made from emu feathers and human hair, which were used for ritual ceremonies in central Australia.

This Museum is well worth a visit, not only to learn about the history of shoe making but to learn about the Bata family. True visionaries who created a global empire of shoe making (and other business interests)
The story boards about the long business road trips by Tatra V8 car to Africa, South America and Asia are amazing. Difficult enough to do it today, let alone 60+ years ago.
The Museum isn't that easy to locate (its in Building 14 on Vavreckova) ) and parking on the street is a bit limited if you have a car. Use the car park area in Dvacata, about 150 metres away and around the corner.

A small castle close to city Zlín. An interesting half day trip for families with children. There is an interesting exhibition of animals, interactive screens with animal sounds and much more. My 4-year old grandaughter was amused. Not far from the castle there is a Brewery and a restaurant. Both kids and parents will love the spot.

Zamek jak zamek. Niestety Morawy mają niesamowitą ilość zamków, pałaców, tak że w którymś momencie zaczyna się wybierać perełki. Ten jest ale na tle pozostałych tak bardzo nie zachwyca.
