Szeged Zoo
Szegedi Vadaspark
A naturalistic zoo in the forest on the western edge of town, known for its South American and African animals and its open, nature-style enclosures.
Szeged Zoo opened in 1989 in a forest about 4 km west of the city center. Covering roughly 45 hectares, it houses around 600 animals. It is best known for its South American collection, including jaguars, tapirs, capybaras and vultures, and it also has giraffes, lions and red orangutans. The enclosures follow the forest terrain and are highly naturalistic, making it a great choice for families. Admission costs about 3,000–4,000 forints, and it's about a 20-minute bus ride from the city center.
