Pécs Zoo

Pécs Zoo & Aquarium-Terrarium (Hungarian: Pécsi Állatkert és Akvárium-Terrárium) is one of the smallest Hungarian zoos. It was established in 1960 in the Mecsek mountain above the city, and was originally known as Mecsek Cultural Park. A now-closed amusement park, established in 1961 was also on the site, linked to the zoo by a 570 m light railway. The aquarium-terrarium is separate from the zoo, in the inner city located within the mediaeval cellar system. It was built in 1985, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the zoo. The zoo has approximately 100,000 visitors annually.
