A bit of history

At first, the Budapest Zoo was a small park that only rich citizens could visit. Then there were cows, geese, sheep and other domestic animals known to us, as well as monkeys and camels, which were here in small numbers. Today, there are more than several thousand different animals here, and you can admire the trees and plants that grow throughout the park area.

Budapest Zoo Features

Visitors can meet elephants, rhinos, camels, tigers, lions, pandas, as well as other unusual animals. For reptile lovers, a separate room has been built here where you can observe various lizards, snakes, as well as popular chameleons.

In addition, the Budapest Zoo has opened a large aquarium, which is home to several hundred different species of fish, and a small dolphinarium, where you can see how dolphins perform circus elements. Due to the fact that the enclosures at Budapest Zoo are very spacious and safe, the animals feel very comfortable. There are areas where you can feed monkeys and giraffes. If you get tired of a long walk around the zoo, you can go to one of the cafes and enjoy local sweets.
