Debrecen Zoo and Amusement Park

It is home to the country’s first rural zoological and botanical garden, founded in 1958. Zoo and Botanical Garden: The Great Forest is a protected 17-hectare area with nearly 1,400 species of 165 animals from five continents. Rare, exotic animals – toucans, flamingos, ibises, gibbons, kangaroos and hippos – are on display, alongside native fauna and indigenous domestic animals. In addition to the native species of plants found in the Great Forest and other indigenous species, you can also see ornamental species and their varieties from all over the world. Throughout the year there are themed programmes and exciting night walks for visitors, who occasionally have a special companion in the form of penguins. Next to the zoo is the Amusement Park.. It is the largest and most visited amusement park in the region, with 17 playgrounds.
