Throughout the year we have a range of special activities for visitors.
As every year, our “Be There!” public programmes await visitors from spring to autumn at the Budapest Zoo.
Be part of a special interactive exhibition experience for all ages and immerse yourself in the world of play and creation in the lower level of the Biodome! Discover miniature worlds built from LEGO® elements and experience the joy of building yourself with thousands of colorful bricks.
The 160-year history of the Budapest Zoo comes to life through archival photographs. The images of this anniversary photo exhibition are placed throughout the Zoo, recalling iconic locations and moments from the past.
Magical Hungary is a prestigious, year-long nature photography competition, and an exhibition of its award-winning images at Magic Mountain presents the rich wildlife and natural beauty of Hungary’s national parks.
The exhibition features the best documentary and press photos of the past year from all over the world. Within the framework of the 67th World Press Photo Contest, the presented and award-winning images were selected by a 31-member international expert jury from 61,062 entries by 3,581 photographers from 130 countries.
For more than a decade, it has been a tradition for Hungary’s zoos, wildlife parks, and animal exhibition sites to offer special evening programs for the public at the end of August, on the last Friday night of summer. This is Zoo at Night.
Our prestigious Zoo will celebrate its 158th birthday in exactly four weeks, on Friday, August 9th. Of course, we are preparing programs for this special occasion.

The Biodome will host a unique light art event from March 1 to 17. This will be the first time the interior spaces of the Biodome will be open to the public.
