Welcome to Janos Xantus Zoo! Our mission is to show kids and adults the wonders of nature, along with the factors threatening them. We would also like to take part in saving endangered species and habitats along with providing possibility for families to rest, relax, and experience new things in our gardens. Besides showing animals, other cultural and sporting events are held in our zoo, which is the scene of educational activities at the same time. With our new homepage we would like the inhabitants of Győr to get to know their beloved zoo better, whereas those living far away looking at our site might feel keen to check out our zoo in real life. On behalf of all the colleagues of Janos Xantus Zoo, we all wish you a pleasant time!
From Saturday through Monday, we’re waiting for you with games, creative workshops, and exciting zoo experiences!
If you love animals, exploration, and the Easter atmosphere, you’re sure to find your favorite activity with us!
The scientific community learned with deep sorrow of the passing of Dr. Birutė Mary Galdikas, who died at the age of 80. The world-renowned anthropologist and primatologist of Lithuanian origin devoted her life to the study and protection of orangutans, and through her work left a lasting impact on the fields of nature conservation and ethology.
On March 18, we celebrate Global Recycling Day, which highlights the fact that waste is not necessarily garbage – in many cases, it is a valuable resource that can be given new life with proper handling. This mindset is playing an increasingly important role in the daily operations of zoos as well.

The first, zoo-like institution was created in the Bishop’s Forest in 1962, close to the lumber yard. The zoo was established on the floodplains of Moson-Danube in order to show the species of game and predators. Even a brown bear was there on show. The animal park of the Forestry was functioning until 1966: in accordance with recollections it was a zoo with significant attendance, but there are no records to prove it.
