Main Season Opening Mayival 2024
On 1 May, it will be 66 years since we opened our gates, and to mark the occasion we invite you to join us for a celebration and a celebration of the past. On the day of the May Day celebrations, we'll have a whole host of activities for young and old, including zoo residents in action and 25 unlimited magic wristband attractions. A morning and afternoon music and dance programme, a concert by the Moonlight Band, square music and a picnic, a children's craft stall, hourly sugar cane making and a giant puppet show by the Garagulya stilt company will all add to the fun, while a birthday exhibition of visitors' photos from the past six and a half decades will give visitors a glimpse into the Park's rich history.
In view of the programmes, on 1 May, the Amusement Park can be visited with a 2500 HUF per person ticket or a 5800 HUF per person magic wristband for unlimited use of the amusement machines, while zoo tickets are available at the same price on site and online.
