Best zoo I've ever been to. Animal enclosures are huge and extremely diverse. The animals are very active and interactive with you. I've never before been ro a zoo where you can get so close to the animals; we were so close to the polar bears we could smell their breath through the wires. The cages are surprisingly open and some enclosures only have three walled off sides; the orangutans for example have an entire area of their expansive pen which isn't walled off the only thing stopped them from escaping is water and a thin line of electric fence, which really gives you a safari feeling. What surprised me the most is that the lions are the same! One of the restaurants, which is a communist buffet with a good selection of food, has a large window looking immediately out onto the orangutans and I loved watching them socialising with one another. An elder one had a blanket that she liked to wear like a cloak while the younger ones played and the alpha patrolled. What was great was that they told us a storm was coming 10 minutes before it happened. Simultaneously they all stopped whatever they were doing and stared up at the sky, and without a sound they all decided to head indoors and shortly after it began to rain. Brilliant sharks, brilliant fish. The tropical birds are free flying in the bird house. Otters were cheeky and had dug a little gile under their fence through which they would stick their paws and beg for acorns. One of the monkeys was desperate for attention and would scream and bang at the cage every time we tried to walk away from it. This place is great for monkey lovers there are so many kinds. There is a petting zoo aspect with many free roaming poultry and small mammals such as rabbits. The zoo is so big that we didn't even have time to see the bears. Some of the enclosures are unbelievably interactive, you can climb over one of the monkey enclosures and again there is no fencing, the monkeys only can't escape because of the way that they have placed cones on the poles to the wobbly bridge towers that you walk across preventing the monkeys from reaching the top. Expect to find animals literally everywhere, there are tiny enclosures inside of wall pillars and hidden corridors. There's even fish tanks in the toilet cubicles. It's very easy to get to on the bus. As an English speaker I didnt have issues with anything but my husband and his family are Hungarian. Some people are saying that it is expensive but all zoos are expensive and this one is very good value for money. There is also an affordable hotel on site for those who have travelled a very long way or who want to stay more than one day to actually appreciate the enclosures and see all of the shows. It is very very big; you can get a little golf cart thing to take you to some locations but still expect a lot of walking with some enclosures having stairs.

4. Sarreti ChiliFarm

5.0 based on 12 reviews
Sárréti Chilifarm opened its gates in 2012 as an exciting family business in the North-Eastern region of Hungary. The goals that have been set were finally came true in Tétlen with hardly 1500 inhabitants, in Hajdú-Bihar County. The Chilifarm does not only provide job opportunities for local residents, but is a unique example for every young entrepreneur as the Bogár family built up their business. According to the owner Márk Bogár, ”the family and the business are two separate sectors, even if they sometimes come together, never mix them.” Succes is, of course a family value, and without cooperation and each other’s support, succes could not have been achieved. The young entrepreneur often refers with gratitude to his grandparents with whom he went regularly to the market as a child, or his parents, whose advice is still an important guide in the business today.

The complex is easily reached by the number 1 streetcar or walking thru the big forest park area. It’s a great place to chill whether alone or with family.Entry fee is very reasonable, one can get combo ticket that includes the thermal bath and the pool as well as massage, etc.You have to bring your own towels, though. They have a cafe/ restaurant inside and the food was decent.
6. Hortobagy National Park

Hortobagy is a marvellous place, the 9 hole bridge and the extra ordinary plain is inspiring. Visit during the spring or autumn bird migration and the drive in is like a bird safari. Bird Hospital Sadly many birds get hurt in the Migration But help is on hand. Whilst in Hortobagy please visit the animal park. Contrary to other reviews it IS NOT A ZOO, rather a wild bird hospital and rehabilitation Center. You can see into the operating theater, see the birds with legs and wings in splints in the indoor ward (the small will stay be hardest to forget), then see the rehabilitation cages that allow the birds to regain their strength and also a healthy fear of humans BEFORE they are released. There are all kinds from Storks to Eagles and Owls. Pay them a visit and be part of the solution! Market Excellent local market, with lots of local produce and useful and charming objects d’art including a magnificent selection of Bull whips! Csarda The Csarda (big eatery by the bridge) is lovely, great food and drinks and popular with the locals. Try the Hortobagy Pancakes with local beef as a filler. Nice and filling and supportive of the farming collective that maintains the Puszta.

Reviewed By MarriedAnd-Over-50 - Mission, Canada
As you enter the downtown area of Debrecen it is massive and impossible to miss. It is the largest Protestant Church in Hungary and it has the largest Bell of the Protestant Churches in Hungary. That is why Debrecen is called the Calvinist Rome. There were several churches which were destroyed, one before the present church burned during the Great Fire that destroyed Debrecen in 1802 and the construction of this Great Church started in 1805. The capacity is for 5000 people. The towers are 61 meters high. It is worth visiting.
