Date opened | 1974 |
Location | Nyíregyháza, Hungary |
Land area | 30 hectares (74 acres) |
The Nyíregyházi Zoo ( Hungarian: Nyíregyházi Állatpark, lit. 'Animal Park of Nyíregyháza'), also known as Sóstó Zoo, is a 30-hectare zoo located 5km (3.3 miles) north of Nyíregyháza, Hungary. The zoo is in the Sóstó recreation area, which includes a beach, spa, public swimming pool, open-air museum, and a forested oak tree park and accommodations for visitors. [1]
Nyíregyháza Zoo was opened in 1974 as “Nyíregyházi Vadaspark” (Wild Park of Nyíregyháza). It was built 5 kilometers from Nyíregyháza in the Sóstó recreation area of Hungary. Owned and sponsored by the local government, Nyíregyháza Zoo is governed by the city area of Sóstó-Nyíregyháza.
Upon first opening for visitors in 1974, its main purpose was to exhibit native species of Hungary and the Pannonian Basin. It has a unique exhibition system in which the giant exhibits are separated from the paths with ditches filled with water. Some European species were replaced with their close relatives; for instance, there are American bison exhibited instead of those found in Europe. The greatest spectacles in the zoo's early years were the European carnivores, such as bears and timber wolves.
In 1996, the new director László Gajdos took up his duties in the park and decided to expand the Zoo in Nyíregyháza. János Szánthó became deputy manager, personally bringing a number of smaller animals to the zoo.
In 2022, it was renamed "Nyíregyházi Állatpark" (Nyíregyházi Zoo). As of August 2022, the zoo is the richest in mammals (especially primates and pachyderms) of all zoos in Hungary. The once 14-hectare area has expanded to 30 hectares and is home to 500 species and more than 5000 animals that can be seen by the visitors. [2] The zoo is a member of the Hungarian Association of Zoos (MÁSZ), the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA).
