DierenPark Amersfoort Reviews

Very busy, but cozy and very nicely dressed. Food, a pity that you have to stand in line for so long. Of course everyone wants to eat, but maybe there are even more places to put down trucks and push down the price.

Nice zoo. Do much innovation for both animal and human. Also have many fun activities such as Foodtrucks weekend in the summer or winter evenings. For children it is a big adventure with the countless climbing possibilities through stay. They could do more in the field of animal education!

We had a good time but the dirty windows at the lofts were a bit disappointing. Also, despite the hefty entrance fees, having to pay for the train, merry-go-round and cars separately is actually a bit crazy. Well shot pictures of a number of animals. The kids have certainly enjoyed themselves.

Surprising by many new animal enclosures and the dinopark. Also nice playgrounds for the kids.

Nice zoo with plenty to do for my son. Unfortunately during this visit there were people who did not give a fallen elderly woman in a wheelchair space, that really disappointed me. We had to squeeze ourselves in turns to let the lady pass through the night loft, that became painful.

Wonderful day out. Much to see. Enough to do and discover for the children.

Certainly few animals seen and not helpful staff at the entrance, also have to pay 8 euros in parking costs and you come to the barrier that is just open so, but never again .....

Beautiful park and well set up, by following the route you will not miss anything the park has to offer.

Nice zoo! Good variety of animals. The children enjoyed themselves.

Really nice park.
Thank you for combing the dog

Unfortunately bad weather. Animals were all inside except for a few.
First time with our grandchildren of 2 and 4 years. Waste of money...

Super fun, lots of climbing and scrambling for the kids and of course watching the animals up close. Here and there some old age visible but despite that a very nice park.

Very nice well maintained zoo, on every corner something to play for the little once so they loved it!

Nice big zoo, only pricey if you don't have coupons

It is not the prettiest zoo in the Netherlands, but it is a great place for a day out. Nice that the caretakers like to tell something about the animals. Especially the presentation of the different elephants was very nice done by the caretaker. The otters were very active ... Like many other animals. (It was not very warm either). There is plenty of opportunity for something to eat or drink. I myself am a fan of hot chocolate with apple pie ... But I skipped it here. Only the hot chocolate ...

Nice park and well arranged in Corona time. Nice for kids too.

First of all this zoo is very beautiful, nicely decorated and lovely to see, BUT there were quite some upsetting things I want to point out.

Let s start at the beginning: if you have a dog, like I do, it s nice because dogs are allowed inside the park, BUT oh please be careful!!! Right behind the entrance are some prairie animals sitting behind an ELECTRIC FLOOR!!! IT IS NOT VISIBLE TO NON-DUTCH SPEAKERS THAT YOUR DOG WILL GET ELECTROCUTED IF WALKING ON THAT FLOOR!!!!
If you don t wear any shoes or fall on it YOU WILL GET AN ELECTRIC SHOCK as well!!
Even though there is a kind of security person, don t even think they will warn you. In my case she did it right AFTER my dog got an electric shock. Thank you very much...

There is another way to go around those prairie animals but if it s busy - like it was when I went there - you will not see it immediately. So be careful.

Another thing annoying me like crazy is the map and signs confusing the hell out of you. It isn t clear at all where the exit is.
When it s getting dark you can t see anything at all, because they shut off the lights and we were so lost, because there aren t always signs where the exit is. Even a person working there got kind of lost helping us to find our way back.

And if you have to go to the toilet, be prepared to be disappointed. I went from one side of the park to the other because some toilets were just closed but signs were still pointing towards them, so I had to walk until some signs pointed towards another direction. Took me about 15min to find another toilet.

I m very disappointed. The whole experience was ruined by the electrocution of my dog, who was so traumatized afterwards it took her hours to recover.
And the worst thing of all was: this happed MULTIPLE TIMES during my visit there. When I left the zoo I heard another dog crying because apparently it walked on the electric floor as well. We even heard stories about small dogs getting shocked, too. So THIS is an absolutely terrible and awful thing to happen.

Either the zoo has to fix this big problem or even more dogs will get hurt. I really hope they fix it, because it s a beautiful zoo after all.

I d love to change my review and the 2 stars, if the zoo will change at least the problem with the electric floor.

Very nice zoo, nicely decorated with a lot of variety.

Nice animal park with many beautiful animals and good stays

A long time ago son wanted to go there and I wanted to see if it had changed!

Very relaxing to walk through, first time seeing many of the animals.

What a desolate condition, it all feels more like a large petting zoo than a zoo: small spaces for the animals, hardly any indoor enclosures, hardly any exotic animals (apart from the famous crocodile or elephant, hardly any information about the animals and their natural habitat, illogical walking structure , the worst restaurants that I have ever encountered, uninspired architecture, boring shops, etc. But all for the small entrance fee of 24, - pp + 8, - for a parking ticket. real animal park.

The one star that was left is for the friendly staff; they were all very sympathetic, so there is at least one manager who understands his or her profession there.

great zoo. normally I'm not really into zoo's but this one is really fun and great for kids. lots of stuff to do as well. I loved the house with the jungle inside it which was totally dark for the night animals that reside there.

Great zoo, lots of playgrounds, grounds well maintained, nice selection of animals and each enclosure has a fun play element for kids (slide, climbing, raft, etc). Nicely situated in the forest, fun activities during school holidays. Our son loves the dino park.

Nice zoo, overview what where in park may be clearer.

Very enjoyable experience. The garden is clean and large and contains a large number and variety of famous and rare animals, where restaurants play places for children, the way to see the animals very creative by climbing and then skiing, they have offers you must ask for their times ,,,
Zipline finds, boats, we spent the whole day without bored

Nice animal garden, especially for the whole little ones, beautiful windows made where they can look from the bugge / pram.
Price day ticket one year subscription very reasonable.

Had expected more, friendly staff, but not worth repeating. Not much to do and animals were not really good to see.

Very nice park, very relaxed, not too busy. And you can get very close to animals. Also perfect for dogs, even though they cannot go everywhere.

Beautiful animals, nice location. Was a little bit deserted as we went in the middle of winter but I'm definitely coming back again when it's better weather.

Wow, this zoo was really above expectations! Walking above the bears, after the lions of the slide, the 'miss niks route', train, giraffes, elephants, monkeys etc etc. And a cool playground, with enough seating for the dads and mums, we have a great time!

We drove from Schiedam to this animal park very nice park clean and uncluttered and also not too expensive in my opinion definitely worth an hour's drive

Nice zoo where children get their money's worth. You can see a lot of animal enclosures from above, which gives you a completely new perspective. For example, you can see giraffes from very close and look them directly in the face. Very well-kept zoo, would go back if I was nearby.

Great day neat treatment. Did not know that we could park for free with a disabled card.
After that, an exit card is brought all the way to the top.
Small point of criticism the toilet paper on the toilets is on the small side.

Lovely park to walk through, plenty to do for children. Many animals and nice to get a story from the caretakers with several animals.

Great park especially for small children. Beautifully landscaped gardens.

Very nice zoo, sufficient food, sufficient playground for the children, and the animals look nice and healthy

Play & do things for the kids everywhere cozy park in warm weather, relax in the shade of the trees, but if it rains you will of course get wet twice

Super nice and relaxed. Very well taken care of. Day filling program

What a beautiful animal park. We have entertained us all day.

Beautiful park and parking. Despite the hustle and bustle, I never felt claustrophobic or rushed. They sold delicious hot syrup waffles and good cappuccino. French fries etc I found a little less successful but tastes differ.

I think the combination of animals and botanical gardens is very well done. All well cared for!

My children loved the playgrounds too!

Only downside I found the nocturnal animals. It was beautiful to see but despite being asked to be quiet, nobody was. I can imagine that the animals, who can't go anywhere, will get through their days very stressed.

The nicest animal park ever go but once it is a nice animal park

Nice animal park, beautifully maintained with many play areas for the kids.
I.v.m. corona was not accessible, but that is understandable. Everything was well indicated, clear walking directions, hand washing places, etc.
The behavior of quite a few fellow visitors occasionally fell short, but the zoo cannot help that. It is difficult to maintain social distance when a tiger is seen

Dino park was also nice to see both there was no movement

Overall a nice day. We will definitely come back more often!

A very nice beautiful zoo to make a family outing. Very nice for the children. It is a big zoo with many species of animals. Sometimes I think that the lofts may be bigger. E.g. That of the tigers. They use a large piece of forest as a dino park. So there are put down every 100 meters plastic dinosaurs, while there is enough space to put a few nice big pens for animals that really need the space seems to me. Furthermore, the park is very neat. And the animals look well cared for.

This might not be the best zoo for educational purposes. But the animals are well taken care of, the cages are big enough and there are many activities for kids. Bring your own food though. The restaurant food is yucky.

What a disappointment all closed 3 eating places about. But in the meantime, nobody adheres to the corona rules.
a real shame about such a park

Was very nice. And the dog was allowed.
The dog told me that she really liked it. She was really excited when she finally saw an elephant.
Her dream came true.
A great day!

Lots of climbing things for the kids, nice animals good stays! Stroopwafelkraam recommended

Nice park and also a one-way walking route which is very handy.
The disadvantage is that the visitors themselves would have to observe the 1.5 meters

For the children an adventurous animal park through the climbing lanes above the animals along!

Large collection of animals, yet small in terms of atmosphere.

Don't like the park. Nice environment but the food is not much.

We bought an annual subscription. It now appears that as a subscription holder you can only reserve today between 3 pm and 3.30 pm. While the single tickets can still be reserved at 13.00-13.30.

Nowhere in the conditions does it say that single tickets have priority over subscription holders. This is called scam!

It is a very nice park and moreover you are allowed to come along and that is well arranged throughout the park drinking everywhere and where the dog was not welcome you could go around with a good route

Large park where you can see almost all the animals we know. Some parts the animals will come to you. Besides animals you can also see many dinosaurs. There are many activities for the little ones with climbing and scrambling next to it. Unfortunately due to COVID19 most were closed. You can also make a round with a train. There are also two large playgrounds where the children can enjoy themselves.

Nice zoo where your dog can go. An experience for m! Surrounded by beautiful walking forest.

Very nice for the children, of course very educational. Nicely maintained park.

We have had a subscription for years. It continues to enjoy, with our three boys. Lots of playgrounds and places and roads for children to discover animals.

Super place. Especially for children. And lemurs marvelous

Nice zoo not too big but expensive. 8 euro parking and some food and drink in the park make it almost impossible for anyone with a narrow purse to come here. A family with two Kids can easily lose 100 euros at the entrance.
The voluntary guides were nice and provided a lot of fun info when asked.

Beautiful zoo, great to walk through for a day or evening. The accommodations are set up with lots of glass and vistas, so you really have the feeling of walking among the animals.

Ziet er schoon uit. Kind vriendelijk. Dinosaurus bos is geweldig.

Nicely set up animal park. Suitable for young and old. Many different animal heads. Satisfying playgrounds for children. Many restaurants

Really a nice and cozy park. Especially for small kids too!

Half of the animals could not be seen. Very scanty for 29 euros. Reporting of work had been welcome.

Not being able to enjoy the park due to corona
There was insufficient control on this

Nice zoo. Lots of different animals, everything to see.

It is a super zoo nice atmosphere cozy like to go here

Very nice park. Nicely laid out and well maintained.

If you go to the zoo on Saturday (and the weather is fantastic), you expect huge crowds and waiting times. Fortunately, we have not noticed anything at all!
In this tree-rich environment it seems as if the animals stay in their natural environment. That is of course not the case, but it does indicate that the zoo in Amersfoort has made a great job of this place.
Definitely recommended!

Really a very nice park.
Super natural and animal friendly.
Great staff here too.
A big 10.

On the road with our grandson. Amersfoort Zoo is great for children. And what did he love the most? The train .........

Great zoo for the whole family. On busy days parking is a challenge.
