Apenheul Reviews

As a couple without children, the number 1 cheers of the cheeky children and number 2 people with children are much more involved than a normal couple without children. Animals do have wonderful stays.

It is nice to have been once, unfortunately you are tired of it so you don't have to go there all day. And for what you get, I thought it was relatively expensive.

Super clean park! The monkeys have super nice places, where they really have the space. In particular I would like to thank 3 employees for their good care. My 9 month old son was stung by something, after which they immediately called in First Aid and helped us well and took away my worries! We will definitely be back!

A very nice park with good signage. Lots of information and nice places to sit. Friendly staff.

Nice park where monkeys roam free in most places. This is cool to see and makes the experience even more enjoyable.

Fun for young children. But I didn't enjoy it since it was hot and most primates weren't outside.

Very nice, especially when the monkeys are running loose.

A very nice experience. Many free-roaming monkeys, not like in other zoos behind bars.

Visited the park with 2 children this week with afternoon tickets at a reduced rate. We had to drive for 1.5 hours. Access was neat, and we could keep enough distance everywhere in the park as well. The children really liked the playgrounds! What was a shame were the closed areas in the park, so we hardly saw any stray monkeys. And that is precisely what you go to the Apenheul for, that is unique about this park. In the run-off areas that were still open, the monkeys did not walk on the paths, but were still high in the trees. So that was a huge disappointment. Fortunately they liked it all in all, but under these circumstances I wouldn't go again soon. Also, a whole day is too long for this park (especially in these circumstances) and so you pay too much with a day ticket in my opinion. You will be done in a few hours.

Clean and large park. A lot to do. Unfortunately chosen a very busy day.

It was soooooo very busy, and after complaints it was not too busy. Opinions apparently differ, but I think twice before planning a visit. The park is definitely worth a visit.

Perhaps just unlucky because of the drizzly weather, so animals might not feel like going outside too much. Not seen as many monkeys as I thought and remember from my own childhood. Park is not very big, an afternoon is enough. It was nice to have seen it again, to be able to tick it off my list. And we had free tickets, so I can't complain.

Fun animal park where the monkeys are literally around you. You can also eat there but they are "amusement park prices". So just a bit more expensive than normal.

We have been there with a baby about 5 hours, this was good for us to see everything quietly.

Great park. Seen a lot of monkeys, park looks great cared for.

Very nice to go. Make sure that bags can be closed properly. 2 zippers together with a lock or carabiner, the stray monkeys have learned how to open them. And then they work together, 1 lead you off and the other one opens the bag.

Beautiful park with monkeys. Spacious set up with nice play areas for children.

Vooral voor de kinderen aapjes die los lopen en of bij je zitten

Mooi park. Hopen dat volgend jaar het park weer helemaal open kan.

Very powerful zoo, it feels very close to the animals, very different from domestic zoos.

E tickets also make for a long line, but the park is fantastic!

Had a great day with the grandchildren.
Despite corona still seen a lot and nice and quiet

It is very nice in apenheul only the photos and the advertisements that seduce you a bit, wand they say that very close to the monkeys can come but in real life is not so therefore four stars

Nice to spend an afternoon walking around, watching and hearing how the monkeys live. Enough parking space, plenty of diverse hospitality and helpful employees.

Fun nightlife / attraction with children. If you are in Apeldoorn, you should definitely visit here!

Nice day. Friendly staff who are happy to speak to you. Have enjoyed.

Surprisingly fun! We have been sweet with our little boy of almost 1 a whole afternoon. He looked out. Especially the first piece with the monkeys that come to you he found great. Also the catering prices and the prices is the shop are normal.
We liked it so much that we took a season ticket on departure.

Fun with the kids. Very busy in the autumn holidays ...

Nice, many free-roaming monkeys that show themselves well. Some very cheeky but others somewhat reserved. Nice park to walk through with plenty of opportunities to eat, drink or go to the toilet

Best zoo I have experienced so far. Free roaming monkeys. Beautiful day out

Always nice, only the apies were also warm so unfortunately. Not very active ... but yes they are just like people ... Luckily we have a subscription :-) so we are going again soon.

Very educational and of course super nice that the animals come so close, a must for anyone who loves animals! For young and old!

Nice park, hospitality not suitable for large groups of people. Waiting time very long

Great to do even on a hot day. The monkeys are not really active but are sufficiently visible. Many catering establishments and children's playgrounds. We had bought a package for the children with a treasure hunt, a backpack and a booklet. They have a great time with that. (5 and 7 years). Educational. The walking route from the parking lot through the park is very special and relaxing. In short, to recommend

Nice collection of primates but the place can be very busy on the weekends. Time your route to see at least one feeding.

Too expensive
Bad park
It's not worth it

Was very pleasant and fun with the whole family after being monkeys on shoulder had nice food was not much to get and expensive pity

Cool animal park where you can also go on a hot day through the green. In many places you can go between the monkeys (even more). And also the children are thought with many fun theme activities. You have to walk a lot from the parking lot.

Nice park monkeys come to watch you, plenty of food options. Only drawback is far walk from parking area after the park

Mooi park, veel ruimte voor de dieren, leuk opgezet ook voor kinderen. Veel baby aapjes te zien, sowieso veel apen te zien ondanks corona. Ik vind het meevallen wat er is afgesloten in het park, echt nog veel dieren te zien. Juist ook leuk dat je word uitgedaagd om de dieren te zoeken. Park is ook netjes en groot! Vriendelijk personeel.

we expected more monkeys to walk around. there are a lot of mice running !! super scared of so was so at home.

Yes really top experience. In the beginning you will be guided very well by the staff. What I also found very useful was that there were completely closed bags, although free, so that monkeys could not steal your things. It is a long walk from the beginning of the park to the entrance of the monkey ape, so if you have difficulty walking, it is certainly a half-kilometer walk.

Does not indicate whether there are any events in the park (per site), where paid tickets are also for sale at that time

We only really liked the beginning with the squirrel monkeys, the rest is nice for once, but not very special. You have seen it after 2 hours

Nice, well-organized and well-kept park in a beautiful wooded area. Nice for a day out with children

It's fun, but since they are preventing the monkeys from stealing food, the experience isn't what it used to be. You have to put all your belongings in a special monkey free bag (which they provide), including your camera(bag). The park is also quite small. Half a day is usually enough to see everything.

Beautiful park where the monkeys live in a natural environment.

You expect to see a lot of monkeys, but it was disappointing.

Great monkey zoo and lovely located in a wonderful city park!

Heel leuk park ook voor kleine kinderen en de apen lopen op bepaalde stukken ook gewoon los. Je moet wel kinderen hebben die niet bang voor dieren zijn.
Verder is het park goed overzichtelijk.

Surprisingly beautiful park. Sin of the many unsightly beggars on the life-size posters. The visitors don't come for that

Many paths closed, no stray monkeys. Very unfortunate to have driven for 2 hours.

Nice park where you can see and learn a lot. It can be very busy when the weather is nice.
When it is hot, most animals are not very active.

A very nice day out! Especially when the skulls come to sit on you!

Due to the corona, fewer stray monkeys, but also all the time and space to view the monkeys with a clear walking route so that you do not miss a monkey. Small tip, be sure to feed Gorilla well in advance because there is only limited space there. Had a wonderful afternoon.

Super nice, we had a great time with my granddaughter and she had a TOP day. Every time it is ....... grandma we go to the Apenheul again

Fantastic park territory. Unfortunately, due to covid-19, the interaction with monkeys is forbidden. This kills all the fun. So, park gets 5*, playing with monkeys - 1*.
