Our mission
What are we doing
How we do it
Why we do it
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.

Opening ceremony
The gates of Malkia Park in Orechová Potôň were first opened on June 4, 2016. The park was named after our first rescued lioness, Malkie. In Swahili, this name means "queen," and since the lion is the king of animals, in a loose translation, we can call Malkia Park the royal park.

Pumpkin party
Every year at Malkia Park, we organize various events - sometimes we enjoy a romantic Valentine's Day, hunt for Easter eggs together at Easter, play like predators on sports tracks on Predator Day, or simply enjoy performances on Children's Day.
