DierenPark Amersfoort Reviews

Zoo for large and small children! Nicely designed accommodation with lots of space to sit and really observe the animals.

Beautiful zoo, nice paths for children and spacious!

A nice park in itself, although some chimpanzees looked somewhat depressed. Unfortunately, the nocturnal animal enclosure was not accessible due to a renovation. Friendly staff and the prices are acceptable.

Despite the bad weather had a very nice day in this atmospheric animal park. It is a somewhat older park, but that is more than compensated by the fact that the afforestation is very high and very green, which gives it a pleasant atmosphere.
The best gimmick is a square with a stand where there is a real barbecue. So not a gas grill but really with coal. That is an unexpectedly tasteful gimmick that you do not expect at the catering industry in this kind of parks, where it is often a matter of food.
Of course I had to reward this excellent initiative with a purchase and I have just chosen a delicious cheeseburger.

It is fun with children, although sometimes you encounter an empty cage or stay ...

In connection with covid-19 they had to have a pedestrian traffic direction, but otherwise it went well. Keep a distance of 1.50 m.

Pleasantly surprised by this zoo. Not too big. Clearly arranged by the many informative signs that show you the signpost. Lots of info about the animals. Sufficient eatery, but also plenty of opportunity to eat and drink. Many fun climb, run and discover trails and games for the kids. Clean and tidy! Overall had a nice day. Recommended! Ps we were 9 people: grandfather, grandmother, 3 children of 1/2, 1.5 and 7.5 and 2 pairs of parents.

Nice animal park, with lots of nice extras for children.

Top park! Nice day, friendly staff and excellent food.

We have been. Was an outing for all people to remember

Beautiful park with lots of fun for the children. Only downside I think you have to pay extra for train, carousel, boat etc ... Then make the abbo a few euros more expensive or something.

Nice animal park, very suitable for (young) children.

Very nice zoo. Many different animals and enough variety in food and drink.

It's a fun park where the animals are more lively then other parks we've been to (especially zoo of Antwerp, sorry).
If you have kids this is certainly the place to be. There are a lot of interactive habitats where you can climb over them, or stand in the middle,... It's a nice change of pace.

I didn't give 5 stars for the simple reason that we're in COVID season and the visitors made it impossible to keep distance and when wearing a mask is not mandatory this was semi frustrating. (I think they finally brainwashed me )

Love the place, hard to spot any animals in sub optimal living conditions, and it only seems to get better over the years.

Very nice park, especially for small children who are still in a car. It is easy to look over everything. Only I did not find the Buitenplaats restaurant very great. It was not busy at all and yet you were waiting for 10 minutes for fries. Furthermore, it is quite cold, not very clean and the play area for the children is completely disappointing.
But the park itself is very nice! Delicious animal watching.

Nice park, well set up. Dogs are allowed, except for a number of stays, this is clearly indicated. More than enough, very clean, toilet blocks. Animals look good and are also clearly visible to visitors, they can isolate themselves if they wish. Park is wheelchair accessible. There are some bad parts in the road here and there so be careful if you walk worse. The predators get whole prey to eat. Keep this in mind with small children or people who may find this scary, feeding times are on the website.

Beautiful zoo, nicely decorated for children and also well organized in the Covid 19 times, no lines or crowds anywhere.

Very nice that the dog can come inside for free. Friendly atmosphere in this fun zoo

Top park !!! Been there before but it doesn't get boring at all

Amazing zoo. You get very close to the animals. Big - sometimes open - cages. Great variety.

In late summer the wasps drive you crazy, but definitely my favorite zoo in the middle of the Netherlands

Beautifully kept park and what a service that you as a disabled person already get a free exit card. Only on the Park app and site adjust that the white tiger has died. We were looking for a large group of people we didn't know

This animal park remains fun, no matter how often you visit.

Very nice zoo, lots of climbing and climbing possibilities so much for child and adult. Below, above and through the lofts. Park is neat and looks nice.

Beautiful zoo where the animals and the environment are well cared for and certainly a fun day out for the whole family from young to old

Nice park. Good signage. Pleasant ambience. Of course not everyone keeps a distance of 1.5m. That is neither possible nor necessary.

Super nice zoo. A lot to do. There is also a dinobos. A pity that you have to pay separately for the train ...

Very nice stays and lots of (beautiful) animals. Many parking places. But there are few trash cans on some items.

Extremely complicated ordering process, especially if you have bought a discount via interest points and want a parking ticket.

Overgrown so that there is often a bad view of the animals. Certainly unattractive.

Beautiful animal park only food and drink we found quite pricey

A great zoo with very interesting and beautiful animals. I have long rarely seen such a variety of animals, really worth 5 stars.

We had 2 small children with us.
There was a lot to see and to visite, most animal were either inside or sleeping.
The dino's looked great and you could see them up close (for one of my kids it was even scary)
I like the overal design of the park, open, close to the animals and lots of forest.

Very nice, weather was disappointing. Except animals also nice playgrounds and climbing things in the accommodations for the children

Food truck festival is 1 big party every year! Become thought of everything! Absolutely great!!

Zoo is really a big park with animals. Friendly staff, parking lot was broken. Pancakes were not that good.

Beautiful zoo ... clean, friendly atmosphere with friendly staff. Free shuttle to parking lot at large crowds. The dog can come along. Variety of animals.

Wonderful zoo for young and old. One of the few zoos where we can have fun all day.

Enormous fun arranged again with the 70-year jubilee. Nice tours, food tour, eateries, live music and super fun everywhere. This is really the nicest zoo in the Netherlands (and we know them all!). And not only now, but throughout the year, there are fun things to do, for young, old and the dogs ... Absolutely PERFECT !!! Chapeau all ...

Nice park. Animals were a bit lazy but nicely decorated. Enough for the kids to do.

Great zoo to spend a whole day with the kids. Playgrounds inside are also very nice! Dino park is a big hit.

Very nice. Many nice off-road routes for the children where they can view the animals up close and where there is a slide for example. Information about the animals also nicely made on wooden plates. Also state whether the animals are threatened with extinction in the wild.

Lekker ruim, soms ietwat onoverzichtelijke routing. Mooi aangelegd park. Aanrader.

Nice park with lots of animals in a nice environment and customer friendly

Perfect for family with children. The kids will have a blast. Park is well kept, animals are beautiful and well cared. The dinosaurs area is fun for kids and the park is beautiful.

We did have the most zoos in the Netherlands but this is still the favorite. Everything close together and especially that you can get close to the animals. Top!

A zoo where I had to climb and scramble more with the children than to have seen animals. Also green and so much but had the idea that there were not many animals (also many "not at home"). I thought that was a bit of a shame. I found a lot of 8 euros for parking. Because everyone was parked scottishly and half way in the forest.

A beautiful well maintained zoo, also nice for a walk

A nice park. Been that many times and never bored. Food is just super expensive!

Very nicely landscaped park for both children and adults

Beautiful animal park, lots of play opportunities. Open impression through glassware.

Bit like a park. Not straight forward. You feel like you are walking in park. Animals are also free, such as monkeys and birds
Fun for children with cable car and other play equipment, crawl and sneak-through corridors

Highly recommended for an outing with the whole family if there is an offer for the entrance.

I think that the Tiger and Lions should have more space in the loft of the animals. Because the Tigers and Lions only run laps in the residence.

Had a great day and there is plenty to see and / or eat and drink. A very nice zoo

in terms of location, nature and friendliness staff probably the best zoo in this country.

Beautiful zoo, lots of playground for children up to 12 years. Nice stay and a clean park with good facilities.

Park was disappointing. The animals were sad. The bear was bored on the floor in a meager cage. A monkey started hitting the window where a visitor was standing.

Sufficient parking, animals and alot of activities for children.

Watched footage of ducklings being stalked and killed in baboon enclosure. Without any staff stepping in to stop them both animals will probably get sick and die. Way to drop the ball, I hope your baboons don t all get sick and die.

Beautiful park with good facilities, very child friendly and of course many beautiful animals and accommodation

Because of corona you have to make a reservation when you want to enter, but this works well. In the park there is one-way traffic and some buildings are closed, such as nocturnal animals. The restaurants are also closed, but you can order something at stalls and eat on the terraces. All in all, it works quite well, and to be honest, I find it quite pleasant that we (should) give each other space. You never stand shoulder to shoulder.

I have seen quite a few zoos, but this zoo kept surprising me! I have never been in a zoo for so long, so much to see and experience, and all kinds of animals too! You can see them from very close by, really cool! I'll definitely return!

On busy days, such as the day of Pentecost, you will be redirected to a parking space, a 1 km walk away, even if you have a parking subscription. That should not be a surprise, because that is clearly stated when you purchase the subscription. Despite the crowds, the distribution of the visitors present is generally reasonable. Only on the narrow paths does it roll up.
Nice places where you are literally among the animals, sometimes behind the glass, like with the lions, sometimes the prairie dogs literally walk in front of your feet.
Many places with shade, so you can relax on warm days too.

The Amersfoort Zoo has positively surprised us because of the large amount of animals, the beautiful accommodations and the neat facilities. In connection with corona, the zoo has mapped out a great route where you can see everything. Our highlight was the giraffe enclosure, where the animals could get very close. Unique experience!

Beautiful zoo! Only the wrong route is occasionally a bit tricky to follow. Furthermore, had a nice day!

It's nice to see how much effort was put in when making the visitors less obvious to the animals. This while the visitors can still get very close to them.

Far too expensive compared to what you get. Walked completely through the park in 2 hours and then ended up at a restaurant with sandwiches for 6 euros each. These sandwiches (look a lot like the lidl's?) Were also not very tasty. If you look at a zoo, I recommend artis or emmen. just a bit more value for money.

Nice park, something for everyone. We were able to park for free because the adjacent parking lot was full. However, that was a 15-minute walk. Not so bad for us, but maybe a problem for older people.

Very nice park, even with this nice weather, great to stay.

Nice, cozy zoo. 26 degrees on October 13 was of course a nice extra.

Beautiful animal park which has been updated here and there and this makes the park a bit more 2020 ready than it used to be, the sweet character and the small scale have remained, really a wonderful zoo with great play opportunities for the kids!
