Amersfoort Zoo: face to face with your favourite animal!

A day at the zoo? Always a good idea! And DierenPark Amersfoort makes it extra fun with exciting climbing routes, amazing animals and surprising encounters. Here you can come face to face with lions, walk along winding jungle paths and discover the animal world in a slightly different way.

While the tigers take a power nap, children can climb like little monkeys over bridges and through tunnels on the ‘Climb Anything’ route. And let's be honest: how often do you get to walk under a bear or get so close to a giraffe that you could almost give it a high five?  

The brand new Chimpanzee Valley is also highly recommended. Between the trees in the new themed area, you will discover why the forest is so important for chimpanzees and why this species of monkey is so special.   

From watching monkeys to roaring at the lions: you won't be bored for a minute at Amersfoort Animal Park!  

The park not only has many animals, but also a mission: nature conservation and education. Did you know that they collaborate with projects all over the world to help endangered species? So while you enjoy an ice cream among the elephants, you are also contributing to nature. Now that's a win-win!  

And speaking of ice cream: you can enjoy a delicious treat at Amersfoort Zoo. Whether you fancy a quick snack or a leisurely lunch, there is something for everyone. (Tip: the fries taste extra good after a long quest through the park!)
