- Mirall65Beckford, UK183 contributionsAfter our recent visit to the unique Bolt Tower, this time we opted for an interactive exhibition U6, which is another great example of ‘a place reborn’; where the industrial building - together with its ‘equipment’ - has been saved instead of being taken down. It helps its visitors to understand (and admire) the rich industrial history of Vítkovice as well as to learn about the processes and mastery involved. We spent there around three hours and both of us (as a Slovak-English couple) found it super informative … I suppose everyone can find here something of interest. A huge “Thank you” goes to our lovely guides (Nikolas a Daniel) who did their utmost in sharing their knowledge and introducing to us every bit of their fascinating “U6 land” (including train simulation - much appreciated!).Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FTMDaveAdria, Italy7,854 contributionsThe views are absolutely incredible - and there are helpful explanations of what you are looking at on all four sides.
The whole experience was great - a convenient lift to take you up and friendly multi-lingual staff on hand to assist.
Prices were 80 crowns/€3.24 for adults, 40 crowns for concessions.Written August 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The exception is for the big cats, that I thought were kind of cramped - but I think they are supposed to move soon. Other than that, it seems like the animals are being taken very well care of, and it feels like the zoo has a good balance of allowing people to see animals while still ensuring the animals' quality of life. I thought the lemur island was cool, for instance - where people are allowed in just one hour a day - and the safari train allows for getting a nice view of e.g. antilopes and buffalos even when they are scattered over a large area.
I also enjoyed the forest paths you can find all over the zoo, and the plantings seem to be well thought through and taken care of. I spent about 4 hours here, and still hadn't seen all the paths by the end of it!
I think 4 exhibits were closed/under construction when I was there, which I think is fine! There were also some of the animals that I didn't manage to see, because of the big enclosures and hiding places, but I think that's just a part of being in a zoo that prioritises animal welfare. I would much rather not have seen an animal because it's doing its own thing in peace, than to see an animal that's distressed and confined to a small space!Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The guide seemed to make some great jokes which I missed out on. Great examples of old machinery. Seems like they just walked away from the mine and left all the machines and equipment at the end of the socialist period.Written July 19, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- КристоферCzech Republic111 contributionsThe walk around the Ostravice River is very beautiful, I go there several times a week. Even though at the beginning there is a city around, afterwards there is a beautiful park with many trees around the river! I also went rafting on the river once, and that was also fun. I recommend it as an afternoon walk.Written January 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Joona STallinn, Estonia430 contributionsForget about the cafe, it is your average Joe - tiny, impossible to reach and in all the possible ways, nothing special. BUT, it has a view, "catwalk" outside the tower that are worth all the effort to get there. It is super complicated - you need a ticket, you need someone to come and pick you up (and take down as well), and the whole process takes time.
But then suddenly you are on top of Ostrava, in a ex coal and steel manufacturer in a super cool building. Enjoy the views, walk and the fact that the name, Bolt, comes from Usain Bolt himself.Written July 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The tour in mine shows how people exploited coal in past and now. Rescue part is also interesting.Written November 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christian SRudolfstetten, Switzerland191 contributionsQuite frankly I do not know why Stodolni Street should be of interest to tourists. You may compare it to a little (very little) Soho, full of late-night bars and lots of noise and music. But otherwise not of any sightseeing or touristic value in my opinion.Written October 6, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christine BSacramento, CA12 contributionsIt was very large and very run. It is a fresh water pool that is filtered, so the water is sweet. There are many different depths for all swimming abilities. You can bring towel, snacks, sunscreen and enjoy the day. It has bathrooms, some snack booths to purchase food. It was the best way to stay refreshed in the hot summer! It is only open in the summer.

- Reluctant ReviewerLondon, UK62 contributionsI dearly love this theatre in Ostrava. I go mainly to see opera, and I've rarely been disappointed. The building is beautiful and marvellous interiors. Comfortable seats. A wonderful experience!Written December 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- L_O_U_S11 contributionsWe've visited the place with our little kids many times. It's big enough, with a lot of models and there's always a lot to do and see. The only thing I'd change is the scientific part and the look of the models. It's been known for decades that dinosaurs - at least some of them - had feathers, but the guys behind the franchise don't seem to be up to date with science. Also, some of the descriptions contain mistakes.Written July 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Radek MBertrange, Luxembourg160 contributionsA well placed shopping centre with all that you may need and expect from such a place. Convenient parking facilities if you are coming by car.Written August 14, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
