One of the best zoos I have visited, ideal for children, very spacious so that even with lots of visitors there is no feeling of being crowded. I can only recommend the zoo 😊

Excellent day out, great museum experience with lots of interactive activities and the Airborne Experience is out of this world, highly recommended.

You should also remember to buy entrance tickets to the Hoge Veluwe National Park (€13/person + €10 for the car).
