First DonationoZOO Day – 26th November

The Zoo Debrecen they are used to caring for 900 animals of 200 species, – throughout the year, now they wanted to extend this care to as many people as possible for Advent and the Christmas season, to make our recreational, experiential, and educational opportunities available.
