Review of Dierenpark Emmen

It is no longer a real zoo but more an experience ...

It is no longer a real zoo but more an experience park. The park has also become very expensive and that may explain why there were not many people during our visit during the autumn holidays. For an average family (m, f 2k) the entrance is 113, and with a drink, fries and ice cream you will soon be at 150, and that is not worth the park given the opening hours from 10 am to 5 pm.

The pricing forces towards a subscription but then you have to be able to come 3x in a year to get a real benefit and the park does not really offer that much repetition value unless you live around the corner and therefore do not have an hour + travel time.

In other words: nice, but way too expensive.
