Description
The entrance of the Budapest zoo is a beautiful Art Nouveau structure that reveals its nineteenth century splendor, having opened in 1866. The zoo is a popular institution in Hungary and this one retains its old-time atmosphere. Over fifteen years ago the zoo initiated a program of adoptions, so you can now ‘adopt’ an animal, although it is basically in name only: you do have visiting-rights, however. Hungarian actor Róbert Alföldi adopted Coco the cockatoo, while singer Ferenc Demjén was one of the first ‘parents’, adopting a monkey over a decade ago. There are also greenhouses that contain spectacular tropical plants.
