Xantus János Zoo
Xantus János Állatkert
A city-outskirts zoo named after a Hungarian naturalist, with a tropical rainforest house, an aquarium and close-up viewing areas for orangutans and lions.
The zoo lies in the forest northeast of Győr and houses around a hundred species, including lions, cheetahs, giraffes and orangutans. The tropical house and aquarium offer shelter from the cold and the heat, and the shaded paths make it a good half-day outing with children. Buses from the city center take about 15 minutes, and admission is moderately priced.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–18:00 (shorter in winter)
