Hi Ariadna, We have visited the Budapest ZOO several times and have always found something intriguing and learned something new. In addition, there are other activities available at the Zoo. Furthermore, you can feed the animals or observe how they feed them. You can stay a whole day, but bellow several hours (5 hours) don't count on it, and that is if you fly through the Zoo. And be sure to explore "secret" passages and all the houses. Yes, Budapest has a lot of fantastic attractions and things to offer, but the ZOO & Botanical Garden is at the top of the list for sure, regardless of age.
