The zoo is one of the oldest in the world and the whole of the park it is situated in is beautiful. The bulidings that house the animals such as elephant are unique. Although the zoo does not have the biggest variety of exotic animals my children enjoyed it. The main problem is that none of the signs in the... More

Everyone loves a good, Zoo, and this is definitely a good one. When planning our trip, this was definitely on the to do list, and it didn't disappoint. Lots of different animals to see and hold (goats in the petting zoo). The Sealions did an exceptionally good performance too. It started off a bit wet when we arrived, but soon... More

My boyfriend and I went to this zoo on a sunny day during our holiday in Budapest. Overall we had a really good time - it's a lot larger than we thought it would be, and there is a wide selection of species to look at (including a lot of reptiles, which we love!). I think it helped that the... More

My husband and I have a thing about zoos, we love them. After relaxing at the baths we walked passed the zoo and felt compelled to go inside as we caught a glimpse of a baby orang-utan through the bushes from outside. It cost us about £7 entrance fee, which is definitely good value for money. I have never been... More

Great entry through the new main entrance, lots of newborn animals, beautiful buildings, wonderful plants. It feels like a long walk through an amazing and exotic park - whilst you are actually in the middle of a European capital! Great place to visit, great place to spend a whole day there. Also for young children - just take a trolley,... More

Clearly, i didn't go to the zoo expecting wonders but i was curious to check out what it had to offer. Sadly most animals looked either malnourished, unhappy, or were just in very small (cages/bassins). The zoo definitely targets a children audience, so it may be a fun trip for a family- as for mysefl and my friend we were... More

Nice selection of animals, keep renewing the site and adding new features but very poor in customer service. Nice number of newborn animals: lions, elephant, goats, suricata etc. Everything closes 30 minutes - some stuff 1 hour - before Zoo closing time. You get asked several times, 30 minutes before closing through loudspeakers to leave the premises - not gently... More

If there is reincarnation then my wish is to come back again to Budapest Zoo because I will be assured of a lovely home, ample food, a constant stream of adulating visitors without having to worry about paying the mortgage or being eaten by predators. At this city centre Zoo there is surely an amazing array of fauna looking completely... More

We had a lovely day seeing some beautiful sights at the zoo. Start by getting the special zoo ticket at Gundel's next door, for the combined ticket with continental breakfast. You save just 300 HUF, but the treat is worth it. Enjoy in the restaurant however before entering the zoo. We saw lion cubs and a baby elephant! Meercats and... More
