DierenPark Amersfoort Reviews

Corona visit.
The park was divided with a fixed route, but sometimes it was not very clear and therefore many visitors ran against the direction. This mainly happened in narrow parts of the park. Easy to solve by forbidden to go signs.

For example, the reptile enclosure was unclear and everyone was very close to each other and people became annoying instead of continuing to argue.

Arrived at 10 am and we were outside again at 3 pm. Then you would have seen everything.

The slides were close to the animal enclosures which makes it so much fun, but understandable due to the corona.

Furthermore you have to pay for the pedal boat and train really ridiculous in my opinion but ok.

Dino forest is great for a son who loves dino. Lot dinos.

Nice children's garden! Because the children are central, not the animals. Also notice the signs with the animals. Totally no explanation. Only the name of the animal and where it lives. Nothing about the food or living habits. How it is with the species. Specific characteristics etc etc disappointing.

A very nice zoo an okek to spend the day and gonieg to see and experience very nice and helpful staff

Leuke ruime dierentuin met flinke speeltuin en de kids vinden het dino bos geweldig!!

Minus point: Access euro 21, - per person and parking euro 7, - per car
For everything else: a great park, child and wheelchair friendly. Close to the animals and how much livestock glass making nice pictures.

Top zoo. Parents and kids enjoyed it very much
Kids thought the dinos were very cool, but it was a shame they did not move or something like that. They did slip away from a few dinos. E.g. From the brochiosauros that are very high and size so they can experience how tall and tall they are

The best zoo I ever see.2 Big play area for kids, small train, restaurants, and off course, wild animals. You can enjoy a funny bridge or a funny ways in a lot of animals places

Super nice and cozy zoo
Come back soon with the kids

Amersfoort zoo is an ideal zoo for families. Not only can we see animals, but the zoo has made it so that children can see the animals from another angle than just through a glass wall, by having interactive routes built around the enclosure. A lot of playing areas for children as well, making each visit fun.

My toddler is having a great time, so that's all I need. For adults, there are many cafes with good coffee and food options for reasonable prices. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the whole park. Will be definitely coming back.

Very nice Zoo, you can enjoy a day there between the animals. Good facilities for eating and drinking. Good parking option.

Nice cozy animal park. Not too big, especially great with small children.

Great for the kids. Instead of Halloween they have a Dino Adventure which is of course very nice for the children.

Super cute zoo for young and old. Not very big so that you can take in everything carefully.

Top zoo! Very versatile in terms of animals and beautiful routes through the park

Had a nice day. The park is very large. It is a pity that due to corona, among other things, the night was closed to visitors

Not really sure about the well-being of the animals there. I guess they are well treated but they didn't seem very happy to me. Lots of people. Some parents were not well mannered and neither were their kids. Btw the fries were way too salty! The Japanese garden is very nice! Better to go with older children...

Particularly child-friendly animal park, lots of playground and fun interactive things to do. The animals have nice big stays and look well cared for. Also nice that in some places you can get very close to the animals without a fence in between, eg with the Ringtail Lemurs. Dinopark is also a great success among the children. The climbers above the animals' quarters are also very nice. Absolutely recommended!

Good. Pretty big zoo, a lt of activities for children.

Super nice park, nicely laid out, lots of afforestation, natural appearance.
Friendly people who work there, great!

Very nice and beautiful zoo, lots of glass so you are close to the animals and at almost every stay a slide where the children can slide.

An animal park with name.
But there are things you have to pay for.
So extra costs quickly.
Especially with small children.
The spinning mill and the children's train are not free.
And for a children's trolley one has to pay a hefty deposit.
One gets back.
Yet.
Parking is also not free.
All in all extra expenses.
Especially for a large family and narrow purse.

Super nice animal park. Super accommodations for the animals too. My children enjoyed it.

Always nice to come here with the kids. Lots of play equipment and also interaction with the animals possible. Definitely a nice zoo with a lot of variety in terms of animals, play opportunities and adventure

A beautiful zoo, with many different types of animals. On a sunny day there is plenty of shelter and shade due to the many trees. Some animal enclosures give the impression that the animals have little room to withdraw from the visitors. The wait time in the restaurant was disappointingly long. At the entrance is a nice souvenir shop.

Nice winter outfit. Also more animals active than I expected

Nice zoo in a wooded area. You do not get along nicely with the pram, but you can live with that. Parking by car costs 8 euros. Children can see things well because a lot of glass is used in the accommodation. There are also changing tables for the little ones among the men and women in the toilets.

Very nice zoo, you come very close to the animals. The dinobos is a waste of your time. Extremely long walk for some plastic sculptures.

We were not even inside yet and we were sent away because we had a dog with us sorry but I do not think this is normal

Had a great day with my family. Only downside were the wasps .. but that didn't stop us from having a nice day.

Cozy and educational. Fun for the little ones. Unfortunately (yet?) No charging points for electric cars, which is inconvenient if you come from far.

Park with many animals, but not very practical. Small children have difficulty seeing the secretions in some animals. The pens are not too spacious for many animals and the spaces for the visitors are therefore very small. Certainly no fun on a busy day. There are also many extra "attractions" for which you have to pay separately, such as a train, bicycle boats etc.

Nice zoo not too big. Good to do with children from 2 to 3 too.

Beautiful participative walkaround, ideal for active kids. Lots of glass giving a very closeup feeling with the animals, of which there are lots!

What a great and child-friendly park. You can view the animals from different points. Children in particular have been thought of. By creep, sliding by, it is for children in this way much more attractive. The wooded area gives the park an extra dimension. You can go everywhere and see everything via the Mass Nothing Route. Highlights: ancient city and the dino park.
We have been to many animal parks, but this was really a special one.

Nicely landscaped zoo on the outskirts of Amersfoort. Lots of trees, so most of the walk is wonderfully shaded. The car park is also very shady. This is one of the few zoos where dogs are allowed. There are well-stocked drinking troughs throughout the park. The catering industry is well looked after, but the products are quite expensive. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Beautiful, diverse and extremely suitable for children due to the different climbing and climbing possibilities during the route.

Fine zoo with many animal species at short distances from each other. Including rare and special such as the cassowary (go look!) And many maki species. Park very suitable for young children but by the above efficient design certainly fun for teenagers and adults. Recently more spacious in the back of the park. Night animals and bird cage also well worth it. Many animals a short distance and very good to see.

The park is nicely set up, due to corona measures many eateries are closed, due to the bad weather, many animals are imperceptible

Lovely zoo, very suitable with children; there is a lot to climb and scramble and arranged so that almost all animals can be viewed from a child's eye level.

Nice zoo especially with young children.
In addition to the various animals, there are various playgrounds with slides incorporated in the walking route.
There is a train and there is a possibility to sail over a pond by boat, but these activities are for a fee.

DierenPark Amersfoort is a 19-hectare (47-acre) zoo located on the West side of Amersfoort, in the province of Utrecht, on the edge of the Birkhoven forrest, in the Netherlands.

Well-organized zoo with plenty of search options for children. Enough species of animals and a Dino forest.

Nice park with a number of special animals. They can also often be seen from close up.

Nice zoo, with a lot of fun crawl and stealth routes for the children.

Beautiful zoo where our children enjoyed. See animals well. Nice playground and climbing and climbing area where our children have fun.

Only as I read in a previous review are not always good paths unfortunately. Idd pieces of asphalt came up through tree roots and crumbled on some pieces of asphalt, which caused me a crash. Last missed part of the zoo because we had to go to the doctor. But despite that, we really enjoyed it!
Furthermore, incredibly well helped by two employees after my fall.

Ps:
We have not experienced the nuisance caused by wasps that I read so much about!

Update:
How incredibly sweet you called to ask how I am doing! Very thoughtful!

Neatly maintained zoo, friendly staff in the store, nice and expert guides who walk around and like to tell something. At 'De boerderij' first a quick cup of coffee turned out to be impossible. Inefficient way of working and not so pleasant service. Fill in on form what you want, then wait a long time, while also staff do nothing. When we were asked to give our opinion afterwards about procedural changes when we arrived, they kindly indicated that this seemed a bit cumbersome and it took a long time to get an angry manager (older lady) at our table. A weird, unpleasant start to this trip.

In particular, the lions and tigers we found somewhat small. They always walked the same round, this looked somewhat frustrated.

Nice playground, many catering options.
Especially suitable for families with slightly younger children. A one-off visit for us.

Dino Bos is way too long-winded. You can't get out of it. Such a shame, especially for that.

Really excellent Zoo for kids with fun ways to see the enclosures, a great dinosaur forest, and good train.

Nice animal park, not so big which makes it easy to oversee. Unfortunately, not all areas are equally good with a wheelchair due to rather steep slopes.

Nice but small-scale park. The Dino forest is very special. Here are various dinosaurs with their description

Have already responded but nice park recommended and advice if you want to see the whole FOLLOW THE BLUE PLATES FROM AF NUMMER 1 TO 40. Prices of a consumption is not too bad and affordable. Again recommended.

I didn't think it was terrible, I thought the more stars the better. I enjoyed it there. Then you must indicate that with regard to the stars.

It's fun for the kids ... but personally I don't think the animals look so good. Fat and muscle mass is hard to find in many of the animals.

I could not remember that I had ever been there and in terms of atmosphere it reminded me of the Apenheul, probably it was built in the same period.

Nice zoo prices are unfortunately very high as well as the animals that are quite high here and there so children can hardly see anything

Nice and beautiful park. Especially aimed at children. A great view of the animals. Through a lot of viewing space and small holes for the little ones. You can also look among the animals. Awesome. When we wanted to go we saw the little panda up close. A carer just arrived to feed him. He took extra time with us so that we could take good pictures. So thank you carer for about 3 hours. The new dino part is also very much. Nice park definitely a ride.

Nice and clean park. There is a lot of extra entertainment such as a train, boat and playground and merry-go-round.

Very nice big zoo with lots of nature in every corner and side. All animals look super healthy. smart to map out a route so you do not miss out on sights. In the restaurants it is nice and cool because it was hot outside. So you could still look up some refreshment now and then. Tific price for entrance and parking. Car could be put in the shade nicely and the dog was allowed (free) within what is certainly a plus. Also accessible by bus.

Today I had a fantastic tour behind the scenes.
Thank you Amersfoort Zoo.

Beautiful park very busy but nice route the "miss nothing route"

Very nice zoo. You can view the animals from several places and from very close. Spacious accommodations and many different animal species. Regards appearance very cozy. A lot of fun for the kids too! You have 2 large playgrounds. And further small play areas or challenges. Climbing over a rope bridge in an animal enclosure. Many clogged slides. Furthermore, a dino forest which is very large. And here too you can do excavations, glide, see the seesaw, climb and, of course, view and touch the dinosaurs. Have been here several times, and will definitely come back.

The park is beautiful and very woody, which makes it easy to do even with 30 degrees and I even thought about taking a subscription, but still give up. Many paths are quite wide and can now easily be 2 directions in coroba time, but everything in the park is 1 direction. If you have missed something or have lost something, you have to go through the entire route and start again. We had to return to the car as soon as possible because of an unexpected death, then you can walk back from one employee because it was a wide path, but when we were almost at the exit we met 2 other employees who just sent us there back through the whole park which took us over 20 minutes. Very poor service

Nice and big park. You can look closely at the animals!

Very nice. Don't skip the lemurs, prairie dogs and meerkats!

Even had a beautiful day in Corona and seen everything!

Very nice animal park, had not been there before (as the only park I think), but will definitely go back !!!

Very nice zoo where especially the children can climb and clamber a lot due to the fact that during the walk various climbing, climbing and sliding equipment have been set out, which of course makes the discovery of the zoo a bit more fun. In terms of animals, they have sufficient species but no large monkeys such as Gorillas or Urang Utangs. However, this is compensated by the presence of rhinos and the fact that you can leave a bird spider on your hand or hold a snake. In addition, they have sturgeon swimming in a basin and the nocturnal route is also recommended. In short, very nice zoo to visit!

A nice zoo with big stays for the animals. With the mis-nothing route you pass all animals. We had fantastic weather and could picnic between the Dino (statues).

Very nice and cozy park and plenty of parking, paid at the park and also free parking 900 meters away

It is a nice animal park especially for the small children. They are challenged to take different routes.
Personally, I thought it was a shame that we were not given a map, so that we could not determine our route properly. there is a misniks route, but we found this quite confusing.
