ARTIS-Park

This spring, enjoy ARTIS Park, the oldest zoo in the Netherlands. Be surprised by the many animal species and experience how net giraffes, Grévy zebras and kudu meet on the Savannah. Be sure to come see the jaguar cub that was born in late 2024 and is now exploring the outdoor enclosure.

Stroll through the historic city park where you can admire the botanical garden and many monuments. Take a rest at one of the vegetarian restaurants.

Also included in the ticket is the ARTIS Planetarium. There are daily shows (for young and old) in the large dome where you can sit back and explore our Earth from space and journey through the solar system and far beyond.

In case of bad weather, the Insectarium, Reptile House, Small Mammal House, Monkey House and Butterfly Pavilion offer a solution to come and watch the animals dry.

TIP: Take a look at the ARTIS Park calendar for daily changing activities, such as 'ARTIS tells'. Animal caretakers will tell you all about the behavior and care of, for example, the California sea lions, the Asian elephants or the African penguins...In short, a wonderful day out!
