Nyíregyháza Zoo

Yesturday we had a very interesting trip to The Nyíregyháza Zoo, which is located in the Sóstó recreation area on north of Nyíregyháza,Hungary. This area includes the beach, the spa, the pool, the open air museum and the wood parks. The zoo lies in a natural, almost untouched forest. The 35 hectare area of the zoo is divided into "continents", so the visitors can walk along them to observe how the animals live in certain parts of the world. Today in Nyíregyháza Zoo you can see approximately 5.000 animals and nearly 500 species. It is the biggest animal collection in the country.

When you get to the zoo on the left you will see The Green Pyramid. This building including an Oceanarium and a Tropical Rainforest. The Tropical Rainforest is situated above the Oceanarium. When entering, visitors immediately meet Europe’s largest Komodo dragon breeding pair. 

Sóstó Zoo’s Oceanarium demonstrates the fauna and flora of the world’s seas and oceans.

After Green Pyramid we went for a walk on zoo territory. And first you can see is Polar Region, which displays the fauna and flora of the North and the South Pole.

Next we went on the road that leads to the Asian region, where you can see camels, rhinos, elephants...

Then we walked around the American exhibit, where are present bisons, pumas and playful raccoons. 

Next we went to African Region. Here you can see the fauna and flora of tropical rainforests, savannahs, deserts and mediterranean areas. 

And the last but, not the least is Australia "continent", where you can see Australia's most iconic animal - kangaroo. 

We walked around the Nyíregyháza  Zoo for several hours, but didn't managed to see all, so I think we will come there again soon. I loved this adventure, but our kids got even more pleasure.

If you haven't been to the Nyíregyháza  Zoo, I definitly recommend you to visit it.
