Mini Zoo Komló is a small, family-oriented animal park located in the residential district of Komló, Hungary. It serves as a community-run facility focusing on providing children and families with close-up interactions with a variety of animals. The collection primarily features domestic farm animals alongside several exotic species housed in modest, well-maintained enclosures. The facility emphasizes animal welfare and education, often allowing supervised contact with gentle species. Visitors can traverse the entire grounds on foot in a short period due to the compact layout of the site. It is distinct for its grassroots development and integration into the local neighborhood of Munkácsy Mihály street.
The central path area where smaller, habituated animals are often brought out for interaction.

Do not attempt to pet or touch animals unless explicitly permitted by staff or signage, even if they appear docile.
Operations are highly dependent on weather conditions; the facility may close during extreme weather or heavy rain.
Do not feed animals personal human food; remain quiet near enclosures to prevent stressing the wildlife.
