It remains a very nice park, especially for the children but also adults can have a lot of fun here both with their own monkeys and those of the park. quite an old park but still they do their best to maintain it well, toilets reasonable and the price quality I find something on the high side, but it is one of the parks in the Netherlands that you must see.

Beautiful park with many types of free-running primates (monkeys)

I'm so glad it's open again. The new part has become so very beautiful. Just a pity that most people don't care about 1.5 meters. Whole traffic jam at the restaurant. People on the path ordering, waiting and others to return their trays. This is partly because people do not think very well. The same goes for the smoking places. These have become less so they almost smoke on top of each other. I also smoke but I did not stand there.

Was already a great park, where the apes and monkeys really have a great park to stay in, and lots of play grounds for the kids in between. This year the first/last area of the park had been renovated and it looks great. We're visiting now during the COVID-19 pandemic, so they made some adjustments/closed some area's, but still an excellent experience. Also the safety measurements are really good, and the added benefit is that the park is not that busy at the moment. (The maximum numbers of visitors is limited)
Only improvement is clearer communication that this is (mainly) a non smoking park; some signs are not updated so some visitors think you can smoke whenever you're allowed to eat.

It is a pity that a lot is inaccessible in this Corona time. As a result, seen few monkeys. Despite the Corona measures, it was still much too busy in many places. Fortunately we had free tickets, otherwise I would have felt cheated.

A forest full of primates roaming freely, that’s what Apenheul is all about! In this zoo more than half of the primates roam freely among the visitors
Stichting Apenheul: A Primate Paradise in the Heart of the Netherlands
If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience with primates, look no further than Stichting Apenheul. Located in the heart of the Netherlands, this zoo is unlike any other. With more than half of its primates roaming freely among visitors, it's a forest full of life and excitement.
Founded in 1971 by Wim Mager, Stichting Apenheul has been dedicated to primate conservation and education from day one. The zoo is home to over 300 primates from around the world, including gorillas, orangutans, lemurs, and many more. But what sets it apart is its focus on creating an immersive experience for visitors.
As you wander through the lush forest paths of Stichting Apenheul, you'll encounter primates at every turn. Some will be swinging overhead on ropes or vines; others will be lounging in trees or playing on the ground. And because they're free to move about as they please (within designated areas), you'll get an up-close-and-personal view that's hard to find anywhere else.
But Stichting Apenheul isn't just about entertainment – it's also committed to primate welfare and conservation. The zoo works closely with international organizations like EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria) and IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) to support research projects and breeding programs that help protect endangered species.
One such program is focused on conserving Madagascar's lemurs – some of which are among the most endangered primates in the world due to habitat loss and hunting. Through partnerships with local communities and researchers, Stichting Apenheul aims to raise awareness about these amazing animals while also helping ensure their survival.
In addition to its conservation efforts, Stichting Apenheul offers a range of educational programs for visitors young and old alike. From guided tours led by knowledgeable staff members to interactive exhibits that teach about primate behavior and biology, there's always something new to learn at this innovative zoo.
And if all that exploring makes you hungry or thirsty? No problem – there are plenty of food options available throughout the park as well as souvenir shops where you can pick up a memento or two before heading home.
Overall, if you're looking for an unforgettable day out surrounded by nature's most fascinating creatures – all while supporting important conservation efforts – then look no further than Stichting Apenheul!
