Budapest Zoo anniversary and facility updates

Overview

The Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden recently marked its 160th anniversary, celebrating its historical origins dating back to 1866. The jubilee included special commemorative events and the release of a publication titled “Állatkert 160” to document the institution’s history.

Following these celebrations, the zoo reported significant visitor numbers for its new Biodóm facility, which has attracted approximately 160,000 visitors since opening in early July. While the indoor tropical conservatory provides a year-round experience, it has also resulted in high operational costs, with July electricity bills exceeding 40 million forints due to the energy required for climate control.
