Szeged Zoo, Wildlife park in Szeged, Hungary
Szeged Zoo is a wildlife facility spanning 45 hectares of forest land, displaying animals from multiple continents in spacious enclosures. The grounds use modern fencing systems designed to provide animals with adequate space while keeping them safely contained.
The facility opened in 1989, beginning with smaller animal species due to budget limitations during its early years. Over time, it expanded its collection to include larger and more diverse animals as resources became available.
The zoo features dedicated sections where visitors can observe animals organized by their native regions and climates. This layout helps guests understand how different species live in their natural environments.
Opening hours vary by season, so visitors should expect shorter days in winter and extended hours during summer months. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time to explore the large grounds.
The facility includes a Madagascar House featuring lemurs and reptiles found nowhere else in Hungary. This collection developed through successful breeding programs that brought the zoo international recognition.
