While the name 'Mini Zoo' may be a bit misleading, this place does offer a few interesting exhibits. You'll find various bird species and a handful of other animals on display. What's great is that admission is completely free, making it a budget-friendly option for a quick visit. If you're looking for a larger and more extensive zoo experience, you might want to manage your expectations accordingly. Nonetheless, it's a decent spot to spend some time and learn about different animals. Just keep in mind that the selection is limited. Overall, a nice place to drop by if you're in the area and curious about the local wildlife.

Come here if you want to see animals suffer. All of the deer, mainly female, are almost starving. One had a seriously infected eye, another with a virus which makes its mouth foam. The horses are kept in a small area where they become aggressive to each other due to boredom and lack of space. Eagles are kooped up in to cages which are, as another user said, smaller than a bathroom. It's awful, heartbreaking and cruel. The storks had their wings clipped to they couldnt fly! They were hopping around in what looked like pain! We paid 600 HUF for a small bag of food to try and feed these poor deer that were bags of bones.

Zoo is pushing it a bit far. For the most part it's an aviary with a netted enclosure for a small assortment of water fowl. Outside of this area, there are several ponies, hares, a family of nesting stork and a peacock. In any case, It's nice to see, and part of the beautiful Margaret island well worth visiting. I was disappointed to see the noise from the nearby open air club a few hundred meters away causing disturbance amongst the birds. I was there mid afternoon on a Saturday, so perhaps a one off, or a weekend festival, but not ideal in any case.

Little animals all over! Always cute to see. We didn’t quite walk through the main area, but instead walked around the exterior and it was great. It seemed that the animals were provided adequate shade and seemed to be treated well (I really hope this is true). It was a fun surprise on an island that really does seem to have everything. Would spend a ridiculous amount of time here if I lived remotely close to this place.

Animals in cramped quarters with too many children running around screaming and stomping at them. One chicken looked injured or ill, but I couldn’t find anyone who actually worked there to ask if they were ok. Absolutely not a place with the animals’ peace and wellbeing in mind.

One for the kids...big and small. Kind of a cross between a petting zoo and a collection of indigenous wild and domestic creatures. For example there are ducks, chickens and birds of prey. It's fun and it's free so why not pop in if you're on the island?
