Ostrava Zoo was founded as Kuncicky Zoo in 1951, on an area called the Miners' Park in Ostrava-Kuncicky. But already in 1956 construction of the new zoo in Stromovka park was undertaken, and in 1960 the zoo and animals were transferred to Stromovka park.
In 1996 Ostrava Zoo became member in the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA).
