Miskolc Zoo is a zoo in Miskolc, Hungary. Although its official name is Miskolc Városi Vadaspark – "Wildlife Park of Miskolc" – it is actually a zoo because the animals are kept in cages. Its first predecessor was the royal game park founded by King Louis I in 1355. Today's zoo was opened on 20 August 1983.

We visited this nice small ZOO on 5.6.2024. That day (wednesday) the ZOO was almost empty, so we could enjoy our special moments with the animals. Most of the animals are used to people and they come very close to you. It is very tempting to touch them (Please, do not do it!) :-) You can see there parrots, lamas, farm animals, but also monkeys, meerkats, bears, jaguars, tigers, lions and more!
There is a small shop with ice cream etc. The old man serving people there could speak English and even some Czech words. It was very nice. It is true that the area needs more financial support but it's still worth spending free time there... so I hope you will visit this ZOO after reading my review and support them. :-)
If you are accommodated in Miskolctapolca, take bus 20 / 20A, get off the bus in the center and take the tram 1V and get off at the last station Felsö Majláth. From there you can take ZOO bus but be sure to check the timetable because it is not a regular bus. We walked up the hill to the ZOO from the station and then back. It was a nice (cca 40-minute) walk on the outskirts of Miskolc.
We bought 24-hour Miskolc pass tourist card (2x 7990 HUF) which includes ZOO entry and public transport (and many more free services...

Well, it was the first time going to the zoo (I know 😔). I was there for about an hour and some minutes. The walk up? Beautiful and took about 15 minutes from the trolley stop. I don't know how much you guys pay cause I had bought the Miskolc tourist pass/card thingie. I don't know how to compare this zoo as it was my first ever visit. It was okay. I was heart broken by the tigers (honestly, I was an emotional wreak), the bears were cute (of course) but the staff was not really smiley smiley (does it make sense?) but I sort...

The place was very good for family and kids. Good range of animals and very different from Budapest or Debrecen Zoo as it's more a feel to walk inside forest and animals and seen more near. People at entrance are very kind, specially those at souvenir shop they gave free lockers to keep our luggage it's important as in zoo there is no trolley for rent. Use miskolc 24 hour or 72 hour pass which is always...
