The residents of the Petting Zoo, located in the Fairy Tale Village of the Experience Estate, welcome visitors every day. If you think that rural, village life is quiet and uneventful, the petting zoo at the Experience Estate will quickly convince you otherwise.
As you approach the authentic wooden and adobe enclosures, reminiscent of the homesteads of medieval Hungarian farmers, and see the freely roaming ducks and geese, you will not only experience a journey back in time spanning several centuries but also recall childhood memories of summers spent with rural relatives or grandparents in a setting unlike any other.
This lively collection of animals is home to donkeys, goats, sheep, Cameroon dwarf sheep, racka sheep, turkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. Pedro the llama and the majestic peacocks also call the petting zoo their home. For urban visitors, especially children, this may be the first time they see these domesticated animals up close—animals that have been an integral part of Hungary’s agricultural culture for centuries. The two- and four-legged, furry or feathered, honking, quacking, bleating, and otherwise noisy inhabitants of the farmyard will quickly find their way into the hearts of visitors of all ages.
While strolling through the petting zoo, you can not only admire the animals but also listen to a traditional Hungarian folk tale, The Little Rooster and His Diamond Half-Penny, as well as La Fontaine’s famous fable, The Fox and the Crow.
