On the last Friday evening of August, the Debrecen Zoo will once again be filled with life and light: spectacular feedings, tropical newcomers, and an all-night adventure close to nature await young and old at the Night of Zoos.

This year’s national theme “Urban Wilderness” examines how nature adapts to the urban environment.  Debrecen is particularly connected to this, with its colorful and lively characters of tropical wildlife, it evokes the moment when the boundaries of the forest and the city blur.
