Zoos, farms and animals around Rožnov for families

There is nothing like a child’s shining eyes when they pet a goat or feed a rabbit for the first time. Around Rožnov there is plenty of places to see animals — from the live animals at the open-air museum to petting farms where children can get right up to them. Here is our family overview of where to go and how to plan the day.

Animals right in Rožnov

You do not even have to go far:

• Wallachian Open-Air Museum (skanzen) — live animals are part of the craft atmosphere. Children love the horses, the poultry and the farm animals by the timbered cottages. More in the article about the Wallachian Open-Air Museum.
• Walks by the Bečva — ducks, water birds and animal tracks in the woods. A little wildlife watching for free, right around the corner.

Petting farms and smallholdings nearby

When you want the children to really pet the animals, head for a farm:

• Petting farms and smallholdings in the wider area — goats, sheep, rabbits, horses. Children can often feed them or take a ride.
• Most tips are within 60 minutes by car of the guesthouse, so you can fit them in as a half-day trip.
• Check the opening hours and entry in advance — many farms are open seasonally or only at weekends.

How to plan a day with animals

A tried-and-tested rhythm that families praise here:

1. Farm or open-air museum in the morning → the children get a good run-around and learn something.
2. Lunch and quiet time in the room in the afternoon → little ones need a break.
3. Café and kids corner in the early evening → coffee for you, play for them.

Drop in for cake after the trip

After a day full of animals, stop by. The Anděl café has the largest kids corner in Rožnov — the children can finish the play they did not get to outside while you have a coffee and a homemade cake. We think of those with allergies too: we offer gluten-free and vegan cakes.

Accommodation for families

Want to explore more farms? Stay the night with us. Families most often choose the Bukový room with a separate bedroom — the kids fall asleep and the parents get some quiet.

• Extra bed 599 Kč, cot 100 Kč — just let us know when you book.
• In the evening, once the children are asleep, parents can treat themselves to a private sauna.
• Note: dogs are not allowed — so plan your animal trips without your own four-legged companion.

Take a look at our rooms and pick the right one for your family.

Practical tips to finish

• Bring wellies and clothes that can get muddy to the farm.
• Check about feeding the animals — not everywhere welcomes you bringing your own.
• Book your room in advance, especially during the holidays and at weekends.
