Dierenpark de Oliemeulen Reviews

Beautiful explanation, snake on your neck, tarantula on your hands ...

Very friendly staff and there are lots of nice animals to see! Especially the snake and spider demonstration impressed us, you get a lot of information about the animals and you can really get in touch with them afterwards!

Great place for information, feed, and viewing birds, insects and reptiles

It's amazing to hold a bird spider. Beautiful reptiles and birds. Our children have learned a lot!

All in all it was more like a better organised kinderboerderij. 10 doesnt feel fair at all when there mostly were birds and reptiles. The bird show was quite nice though.

Very nice zoo, also saw some new animals that you normally do not see in a zoo, the name "the strangest zoo in the Netherlands" comes into its own !!

Nice park, not too big but everything neatly cared for. We have been again during the fair in August. This is also fun for the kids, a bouncy castle shows etc.
Really recommended.

Small, fine and very interactive. Exactly good for half a day. And the Halloween theme and treasure hunt

Great nice small park. We can, as 3 animal lovers and especially reptiles, be sweet all day long, but don't expect that, most people will leave after 3 to 4 hours. Fantastic staff, who certainly radiate the love for the animals and their park in everything. Simple catering point with affordable prices. Every corner and hole is utilized and you see other animals than "normal". We are a fan!

Very nice animal park. Huge variety of animals for such a small park. Nice shows. Animals look pretty good. As a reptile lover, you always see points that could be better, but when there are more than 100 terrariums, it is impossible to keep all of this peak-fine, so the complaints of some people still go ashore. Hospitality is fine for such a small location.

We have been today, very nice for a good price. Sweet and nice staff! Did their best to entertain everyone. The drinks and snacks are also affordable. If you come by car you can park for free. Big advantage is that there are enough spots with shade in the hot sun. The animals are also super nice. My son was allowed to keep a tarantula in his hands and a snake in his neck. What did he find exciting.

Super nice park to spend your afternoon 2 hours. Nice animals and nice lofts!

Very nice animal park! I was pleasantly surprised and will certainly go more often.

There was super with especially my mother of 89 especially for her was the demonstration of the snakes and spiders down because she can no longer walk well stairs top

Small but very nice. Very enthusiastic employees with love for the animals. Nice spinning workshop and bird show. Children loved it.

This is indeed the strangest animal park in the Netherlands. At the front it looks like a normal farm, but inside and behind the free farm is a real animal park with special animals.

Here you come face to face with many different types of animals.

Many types of spiders, unfortunately because of corona we were not allowed to let them walk over your hand. Iguanas, chameleon, bats. And outdoors, alpacas, owls, monkeys, porcupines and skunks differ. A real one time activity for children.

Nice, small-scale park that you totally do not expect in the middle of such a residential area. Seem to be small enclosures for the animals sometimes.

Fun zoo to visit with young children. 1, 5 to 2 hours you are sweet.

Very nice. Our son of 5 looked out his eyes. And the snake and tarantula presentation was the height of the day! Friendly staff and very happy to tell about the animals if you ask them something.
Highly recommended

Super nice animal park (you). Nice and versatile range. Kids loved it. Nice shows and demonstrations. Animals look good and healthy.

Small park but we have a child who is crazy about birds of prey and then a great place.

Nice little park with a lot of diversity. Lots to see inside with snakes, lizards and good descriptions.

We got to hold a snake and a tarantula and see the big vultures and eagles fly. The staff are very friendly and you can stop for a cola at the small cafe.

Spiders, reptiles, bird of prey show. Fun for young and old.

Awesome! We advise everyone to visit the animal park de Oliemeulen because there is a lot to see, experience and also learn ... a beautiful bird show and a presentation about spiders and snakes. That was our experience! It's totally worth it. We are going again soon ...

Small Zoo but fascinating, closer to the animals in most cases, Armadillos and Bats a highlight.

Super, especially the demonstration where you can hold a snake and tarantula is very nice.

The animals looks nice. Well some macaws where plugging their feathers that's quiet sad. But it was a nice place. I got a snake there since there was a expo.

I had a really nice morning here with a friend of mine. There are many different animals to see, with the highlight of course being the young animals. The route (because of Corona) was clearly marked with arrows and there was enough space. Good price-quality ratio.

You will find this small-scale animal collection in the middle of a residential area! Enthusiastic staff. Nice afternoon grhad.

Nice park with many indoor areas where it is quite dark and a bit tight. Outside there is more to discover and a bird of prey show.

Fun and educational zoo for a fun afternoon with mainly reptiles and spiders

Beautiful, accessible zoo (you) where communication to the visitor is very important.
And besides reptiles, they have many more beautiful animals.

This Zoo makes optimal use of the number of m2 it has available in an optimal way. The park is fun for young and old.

Was friendly. And you got good information. Also had a nice day with the birds of prey .top

Enjoyed with son and grandson and yes this grandmother had uncle a spider on my hand while I have a phobia

The zoo is small and consequently the lack of large animals but a lot of greenery, a terrarium is nice and there is something to watch. Nice staff.

Super fun.children are entertained and it is also educational !!

A great small zoo for younger children. The show about snakes and spiders was awesome. You can hold a snake and tarantula yourself (if you dare).

Very nice and interesting park for both our 6 and 8 year old friends as for dad and mom.

Nice small-scale zoo with mainly reptiles. Some lofts are very small.

Nice for a few hours, the low admission prices allow you to come in here occasionally. The children enjoy it every time.

Nice, small-scale animal park with a special collection of spiders, amphibians and reptiles. Also outside it is cozy with different animal species in spacious outdoor areas. The corona measures are clearly indicated in a very friendly manner. The walking routes are also clearly indicated, although the arrows are subject to wear. Perhaps reapply / restore it?
The catering industry is simple but satisfactory. Spacious seats inside and also outside.
Nice staff who do their job with dedication.
We were an attentive visitor for three hours. Absolutely worth it.

Nice park, friendly employees. Very nice to spend an afternoon. The shows are especially very fun and educational for the kids

Nice place for young children. Good for a rainy day.

Nice little zoo where the emphasis is on the small animals. Spiders, frogs, etc. It was not busy and it was a nice little outing for 2.5 to 3 hours

Very cozy very informative.
Holding the snake was really exciting.

Nice park nice people and the lofts and animals look good and clean

Super fun not very big animal festival ... different shows by driven staff. Spiders and snakes on your neck give nice photo moments.

Nice but quite expensive for the size of the animal park. Is just a farm in the middle of a lesser neighborhood.

Super fun the kids have been very happy and the oldest has really done something super tough. Unfortunately it was too hot for the bird show. Nice nice staff! Affordable.

Good park with special animals, but clearly needs a bigger place

Fun and informative. Especially the shows are very worthwhile. Recommended for an afternoon away with children.

Very compact, but surprising collection of fun animal species.
The bird of prey demonstration was held by a great amusing real Tilburg falconer.
At the top of the house you can have a red rat snake crawl around your neck or have a large spider walk over your hand.

Nice place to go as a family. Open 363 days a year! Lots of reptiles and exotic animals. Surprisingly large space behind the seemingly small location. In addition to seeing many animals, you can also hold a bird spider on your hand or a snake around your neck. There is a Bird Show and De Oliemeulen is easily accessible by train. From Tilburg University station even in 15 minutes walking distance. You can do this through the Westermarkt and Westerpark. Oliemeulen is worth it because so many reptiles in 1 place is beautiful. The overall atmosphere is very familiar

Very interesting and educational. One time another zoo!
