The zoo is split into five geographical regions of the world according to the animals native land, namely: Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and South America. As you walk around, which may take between two and four hours (depending on whether or not you are a family, interested in viewing every animal and/or like viewing every description board), it is very important to investigate every nook and cranny of the zoo because what looks like a shed, storage room or empty pathway usually has an enclosure of some sort. Certain bird and reptile houses are examples, but also certain areas of the Europe zone too. So look everywhere, basically. As you walk around you instantly see well looked after, clean, animals that have plenty of space to move around. The park itself is also very clean and tidy with facilities such as toilets (for people with disabilities too), parenting rooms, snack bars, park benches/seats and children's playgrounds. I found the snack bars a tad expensive, and even if you say "the zoo has to make money somehow" I do not think families would agree; especially as I noticed that many local families bought drinks and sandwiches with them. The 3pm seals show is a favourite, so make sure you arrive early for a space in the crowd TIP: Hold the map as landscape so that Asia is on your right. Also, as there are not too many arrow signs (directions) as you walk around it is best too follow the Paw Prints! I think the zoo did this on purpose so you get a feeling of exploration, and I think it works beautifully. Great idea. THE ANIMALS As said above: The animals are well looked after and clean, living in modern, natural and spacious enclosures. With 600 specimens from about 140 species it must be a huge and difficult task to keep the zoo at such a high level of maintenance. For this, the zoo must be congratulated. Some of the animals sleep during the afternoon while others are difficult to spot in their enclosures either because they are too far away (their enclosure is huge) or hidden within the greenery/trees. So I highly recommend you take a zoom lens camera with you if you can. Digital Cameras are okay, but you will get better results from a dedicated zoom lens camera. Another problem with taking photos is the wired fences around the enclosures. Sometimes a digital camera's 'auto-focus' mode picks up the wired fence as the foreground whereby it blurs out the animal(s). So poke your digital camera's lens through the wire if/when possible for better results. Some of the rarer animals and creatures of Szeged zoo include the cute meerkats! Among the animals are curiosities such as the wolverine, bat eared fox, North Chinese leopard, Chinese water deer, silvery marmoset, red-cheeked gibbon, giant anteater, maned wolf and jackal as well as the old favourites such as giraffes, monkeys, lions, cheetah, tigers, birds, insects and reptiles (including the Taranchula). No elephants though. That is the nice thing about Szeged zoo though. It has unique, unseen, animals as well as old favourites, which makes it a worthwhile trip just for this reason alone. IN CONCLUSION Although the zoo caters for everyone including single people and couples, I would say the zoo is best enjoyed as a family/friends with young children or as a group tour; preferably on a hot day. There is nothing about the zoo that states 'no single people' or 'no couples' of course, but on my visit the majority of visitors were either with family or a group. On top of this I would recommend taking one the zoo's guided tours or special programmes. They have an 'evening zoo tour' for example that is held once every summer month. Unfortunately, like many other Hungarian attractions, all the zoo description boards were in Hungarian only. The names of the actual animals, insects, etc were written in German, English and Spanish for example but not the main description. If they would of been in English for example I would of enjoyed the trip even more. With that said: the animals etc are the main attraction of course, so the descriptions...

Először jártunk itt, szerintem teljesen rendben van. A belépő ára nem olcsó, de ennél sokkal kisebb vadasparkokban többe kerül, így szerintem elfogadható. Páran írják, hogy "1 óra alatt bejárható" , azt nem tudom elképzelni se hogy hogyan csinálták nekünk majdnem egy napba tellett. Az állatok több mint kb 98% jól látható pár kisebb volt csak amit nem láttunk mert úgy elbújtak. Sokan írják, hogy a plexi üvegek koszosak, nehezen látható rajtuk keresztül bármi is. Nekik csak annyit mondanék, hogy azért olyan mert kívülről a neveletlen kölyköd össze tapicskolja. (Érdekes az én 2 éves gyerekemnek van annyi esze hogy nem taperolja. Intelligencia kérdése)Belülről meg az állatok koszolják, bármennyire is meglepő ez a legtöbb állatkertben így van. Állj arrébb kitűnően lehet látni a kerítéseknél is. A kifutók jól vannak kialakítva, rendezettek. Nejem nagy kedvence a gepárd, ezért is mentünk elsősorban, nagyon jól van kialakítva a kifutójuk viszonylag egész közelről lehet megcsodálni a gepárdokat, kellemes csalódás volt. (A nyíregyházi állatkertben szinte semmit nem lehet látni belőlük, ezért is örültünk, hogy itt ilyen jól van megcsinálva. ) Beton " függőknek" nem ajánlott az állatkert, nincs minden lebetonozva, az erdőben fák vannak meg cserjék a tavakban békalencse. (bármennyire is meglepő) Ez nem jelenti azt, hogy "rendezetlen" , mint ahogy azt sokan írták, ezt hívják úgy hogy "természetes környezet" .Az ösvények rendezettek, kellemes árnyékos az egész vadaspark. Elefántokat közelről meg lehet csodálni, kifejezetten tetszett a kötél kerítés, így többet lehet látni belőlük mint máshol. Belépés a parkba: Mi odafelé menet, megvettük a jegyet online, mivel még nem jártunk ott soha, így nem tudtuk, hogy mekkora sor lesz (nem volt nagy). Reggel 9-re értünk oda, 2 pénztár volt nyitva, magyarokra jellemzően mindenki ugyan annál az egynél állt sorba, de mivel nekünk már volt jegyünk így könnyedén és gyorsan bejutottunk, a hölgy kedves volt és segítőkész. Büfé árak: Meglepő, de drágább mint a Balatonon. Gyros tál : 4500 Ft Hotdog: 1250 Ft Amerikai hotdog: 1600 Ft Kürtös kalács ( kb. 1/3 kisebb mint amit máshol szoktam venni) 2000 Ft. (2024. augusztus) A nap folyamán több program is van, látványetetések érdekesek. Aki arra számít, hogy az oroszlánnak majd egy élő állatot kell széttépnie az csalódni fog. Csak pár falatot kapnak nem a bemutatón fognak jól lakni. Gondozó hölgy érthetően jól beszél, mond pár érdekességet is az állatokról. Kifejezetten élvezhető, főleg az elefántok és a gepárdok látvány etetése. (Számunkra legalábbis) Leopárd kölyök nagyon aranyos, játékos. (plexin keresztül próbált a gyerekekkel játszani ) A fókák medencéjénél a plexi tényleg több helyen szivárog, mint ahogy azt valaki írta, de ha több napra leengednék belőle a vizet és el lennének zárva a fókák akkor meg az lenne a baj. Ez nem azt jelenti hogy nem foglalkoznak vele, nyílván idővel majd kijavítják. Annyira azért nem vészes. Összefoglalva: Összeségében én csak ajánlani tudom, gyerekekkel is kellemes időtöltés. Érdemes rászánni egy teljes napot. Eső után sár van, az erdőben meg fák, vannak állatok amelyek kifejezetten büdösek mégha óránként takarítanák is az lenne. Az állatok nem szobrok, nem fog neked egész nap egy helyben pózólni néha várni kell vagy később visszamenni, hogy láthassuk. Akit ez meglep az inkább kerülje el. Mindenki másnak kellemes időtöltés lesz. Nem...

This Zoo looks like that is abandoned. Animals live in smelly cages (it smells like cages werent cleaned for ages). Water at seals is disgusting, almost black, you can not see trough. The Zoo has lots of space and is thoughtfully planed, but not exploited. Playground for children were all closed (out of order). Also bar/restaurant was closed. I felt sorry for all the animals....the tiger looked starved........can you please tell me if I can donate any money and where, that will help this animals to live better. I was really disapointed with this Zoo. I can't even say how unfriendly the people at cashier were 🙈. Tickets are too expensive for what this Zoo offers. If I compere this Zoo with the one in Zagreb or Ljubljana, tickets are half of prize for fammily (like yours) and Zoos are cleaner, more organized and you see more. You have a lot to learn and to improve. I hope that my oppinion will open...

Review for January 2023: -Payment accepted by card -you can buy animal feed (600 HUF) to feed some of the animals (goats, deers, muflons), kids do enjoy it. -a lot of food kiosks were closed (the only open one was 1 kiosk which was serving Kurtoscolac) -parking is available free of charge in front of zoo, parking on ground/mud -zoo is quite large, informations on anything other than Hungarian should be improved. Animal names are provided also in Romanian, English but that's it. Signage to different areas are only in written Hungarian (little signs). - water for seals and penguins was not that clean / clear as in other zoo visited I liked the animals had quite large areas. Walking inside the zoo feels like walking in the forest, it can get muddy/messy sometimes. (just beware) Access road (last 300m) were in bad shape (bombarded is the accurate description)
