Although the primary idea of Malkia Park was to provide the best possible living conditions for felines, gradually bears, monkeys, parrots and ungulates also found their home here. To this day, more than 75 species, subspecies and breeds of animals have found their home here. We cooperate with other zoos and try to provide the most dignified living conditions for all the animals that we can accommodate.
In our zoo, we care for a wide range of animal species from different continents. We provide comfortable living conditions that simulate their natural environment and take care of their physical and emotional well-being. In addition to animal care, we offer visitors educational and experience programs. We cooperate with international organizations to preserve endangered species and are actively involved in programs for the protection of wild animals.
It is said that it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. See for yourself on this video.
Our efforts are based on the latest knowledge in the field of zoology and nature conservation. We employ a team of qualified professionals who care for animals with love and respect. Our garden is designed to provide animals with an environment that supports their natural behavior and needs. We cooperate with other zoos, with which we exchange experiences and constantly learn. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices in all aspects of the garden’s operation.
At Malkia Park, we believe that every species has an irreplaceable value and place in the ecosystems that make up our world. We are motivated by a passion for the protection and preservation of nature and animals, because the diversity of life on Earth is priceless and constantly fascinates us. We feel responsible for future generations, and therefore we try not only to take adequate care of the animals in our care, but also to take an interest in educating the public. We believe that education and personal contact with wild animals can inspire us to create positive change in the world. We want our visitors to leave the garden with a deeper understanding and respect for nature.
Dear our supporters, supporters, visitors.
Malkia Park is open in April 2024: Tuesday – Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Malkia Park is closed on Mondays.
On weekends and holidays we invite you to guided feedings – as a bonus for visitors free of charge.
Morning guided feeding starts at 10:40 at the entrance to the park – we will talk about parrots and at 11:00 we meet at the black spotted leopard enclosure.
Afternoon guided feeding starts at 2:30 p.m. at the American jaguar enclosure.
Together with the lecturer, we will gradually move on to some other animals.
Commented feeding will last approx. 35 minutes, program change reserved.
The lecturer will tell us interesting facts about the life of animals in Malkia Park and in the wild, and the keepers will prepare food in various places in the enclosure.
So there is a good chance that you will see animals more active.

The original idea of Malkia Park was the rescue of big cats, which is also based on the name of the Civic Association – Malkia Park Big Cats Rescue – which was founded as a refuge for animals that for some reason became unnecessary for the original owner or could no longer care for them.
Over time, however, other animals also needed a new home, such as bears, ungulates, monkeys, and the like, so today we help those who need our helping hand, from a lion to a parakeet.
Approximately 260 specimens, 70 different species, gradually found their home on an area of 7.2 ha. The animals come from private individuals/zoos, circuses, or zoos.
Unfortunately, these animals can no longer be released into the wild, and therefore our goal is to create the most natural conditions for them, as similar as possible to those they would have in the wild.
FOR YOUR 2% WE WILL TAKE CARE OF A PROPER WILDLIFE! Every year there is an opportunity to help our trustees through 2% of your taxes, thank you in advance for any financial help!

Thank you!
In Malkia Park you will also find an exhibition created by artistic blacksmith Vladimír Eperješ with his Mechanical Zoo.
Their key purpose is to promote recycling and familiarize people with the “zero waste” philosophy. For this reason, all animal sculptures are made from scrap metal and car wrecks.
COLLECT EXPERIENCES IN SLOVAKIA and experience a piece of Africa in Malkia Park.
We offer you:
The experience packages can be purchased in person BY APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE via e-mail: recepcia@malkiapark.sk, or online.
We believe you won’t regret it!
Although the original idea of Malkia Park was primarily to provide a home and a new refuge for abused or unwanted big cats, bears, monkeys, parrots and ungulates have gradually found their home here.
