Notes: The Tropicarium in the Campona Shopping Center opened in 2000 and is Central Europe's largest aquarium. Visitors will find a fascinating array of species, including jungle reptiles, snakes, spiders and birds, freshwater fish native to Hungary, 15-foot-long barracudas and huge tanks filled with brightly colored tropical fish. A tubular walkway cuts through the center of the massive shark tank, putting visitors inches away from the predators.
