Evening Concerts at the Zoo



Now:







The initiation of a group of patriots took form in 1866
and the first Hungarian Zoo opened its gates to the sound of the midday bell on August 9th.
Besides Hungarian species the zoo housed several rare species of monkeys, lemurs, parrots, camels, kangaroos and other special animals. It had neither lions, nor tigers or elephants at that time. The first giraffe arrived two years after the opening in 1868. It was donated to the Zoo by Franz Joseph with Queen Elizabeth's intervention.
Later on:



Nowadays:
there are unique programs in the Zoo every Wednesday evenings at half past 8 p.m.
