 Racoons by Shofja We like Budapesta ZOO - the most progressive zoo in Europe (it's said in guide-book). There are many very interesting exibitions, for example, butterflys, insects (some of insects were disgusting :-) Of course :-) !) We saw beautifull parrots. The lion was sleeping when we visit him :-), but raccons demonstrated very great interest to our foto cameras :-) And one interesting fact (told by one local inhabitant) - the couple of Budapesta ZOO's hippopotamus every year had a baby (because they have termal pool!). There are about 500 species, so everyone can find something interesting. We spend there some hours and this realy was great walk through ZOO. And now about prices - 1500 Ft (adult); 700 Ft (children), Budapest Card - free entrance! Open daily 10:00-20:00 Leave a Comment Phone: (+36 1) 363-3710Directions: From behind The Heroes' Square go inside the Népliget.

 Elephant House Entry by kadybay This zoo has beautiful grounds and most of the animal habitats are open air and somewhat natural looking. For example, the rhinocerous exhibit is designed for you to be able to touch the rhino if it is next to the fence. The only con I noticed were the remarkably dirty bathrooms. Otherwise, its a lovely place to spend an afternoon. Leave a Comment Phone: (+36 1) 363-3710Directions: In City Park, near Heroes' Square.

Lot of things inside is made of oriental style, mountain (for white bears) and a lake (for water birds) are inside too. I saw there lot of interesting animal species I havent seen before - gorillas, some exotic fishes and much more. Leave a Comment Phone: (+36 1) 363-3710Directions: I n City Park, near Heroes' Square.

I realise that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, visiting a zoo. The zoo which was built in 1911 has a collection of over 2000 animals and a childrens area where they can encounter animals close up. This zoo also has an unusual moorish elephant house, a conservation and research centre, and an ongoing building program . The zoo itself is set in City Park which has a number of attractions. When I visited there was ice skating at one end of the park and a transport museum at the other. Leave a Comment Phone: (+36 1) 363-3710Directions: In City Park, near Heroes' Square.

by ivanab This zoo was certainly a big surprise. For the price of 1000 HUF you get a whole day of activities. First, it is huge. Second, there's a wide choice of animals to be seen and their very imaginative 'houses'. There's also a botanical garden inside, restaurants, lake and great amount of activities for children. I liked the house with butterflies thw most, 'cause you can get so near them that you can touch them and they fly free around your head.

Zoo is right across the road from Szechenyi baths, so we decided to go there after. Ticket price was 1300 forints ($6.50) per person. You can also buy some animal food right after entering the Zoo. I had a nice time, especially in the gorillas room - it was amazing to look up close through the glass window at those huge animals.. and they were looking at us..
