Be well informed about life at the zoo!
Our zoo closed the past year with the highest visitor numbers of the last two decades. In 2024, the number of visitors exceeded 1.1 million, not including an additional 200,000 visitors to the Margaret Island Mini Zoo. Last year also saw several major upgrades, such as improvements to the enclosures for prairie dogs, wombats, and Asiatic wild dogs. Additionally, new animals arrived, and we successfully bred rare species, contributing to their conservation.
One of our wild ducks—more precisely, a mallard—has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past year. Over two molting cycles, the female replaced her typically brown-patterned plumage with white feathers. The other wild ducks have accepted their companion’s color change without issue.
In addition to showcasing a variety of exotic wildlife, our Zoo also offers visitors the chance to encounter horses. Beyond simply presenting them, we take pride in our deep equestrian traditions, with notable achievements in enhancing the bond between humans and horses, as well as in conserving a Carpathian horse breed.
