Geopark Říčany is an outdoor geology exhibition in the grounds of the 1st Primary School on Masarykovo náměstí in Říčany, opened in 2015 and run by Muzeum Říčany. Across roughly 1,350 m² the site recreates different natural habitats - a limestone outcrop, basalt columns, a pond for panning garnets and a cave system. Educational programmes serve schools from kindergarten to secondary level, while the public can join regular geo-afternoons from April to October.
