Dierenpark Emmen Reviews

Park is quite nice in itself. Little different animal species. Long stood in line at the boats to see some monkeys and two elephants.
Not worth repeating for us. It is not really a zoo but also not an amusement park.

Nice park. Different from other zoos, but that makes it fun again. In my opinion has good potential. Nice day out.

Very nicely laid out, very spacious, well divided, very family friendly.

A very nice zoo. Nice and spacious accommodation. Well worth the effort

super echt super mooie zoo....
netjes en verzorgd.
personeel...zeer netjes en ook leuke vrijwilligers

Beautiful new design. Routes don't make much sense, so you have to walk a lot to see everything. Nice attractions, such as a 3d movie and a boat trip.

Wildlands is for me and my youngest child a very nice place to spend a nice day. We enjoy together the animation team and the different shows and performances. We see the green in the large greenhouse and also grow outside of it when we visited Wildlands for the first time just after the opening. We find the staff very friendly and Neila and Babu are real heroes. Wildlands gets a very big thumb from us.

Nice park. Well themed. Nice seats good play options for the children. Amersfoort the most beautiful classic animal park. Wildlands zoo and design of the future.

Nice !! You have to go there with the thought I'm not going to a zoo. Design of the park is recommended !!! Fun for children.

Fun for the children but not comparable to the old zoo

Worth a visit in all seasons. Very clean, very friendly staff, great facility. Simply beautiful for everyone.

Super nice zoo with extensive and detailed enclosures, many highlights for the kids and very active residents. Parking is a bit expensive ( 10 day ticket) and it's all in Dutch (no translations), but that doesn't really matter. It is still an experience for the whole family!

Fantastic place, we are very satisfied and recommend it to everyone.

A well-appointed zoo, fun for young and old. The attractions are fun, but a row is expected in the weekends and holidays

Nice place. Nicely set up to share the different worlds.

Really fun.
The animals have a lot of space and there is plenty to do.
It is all still fairly new.
So the park itself still has to form.
If you know what I mean

The zoo is divided into 3 zones in each of them is another main attraction, the zoo is also connected to the amusement park Rewelacja polecam =)

A zoo on modern reads, with safari in bus and boat!

When I had to pay 30 euros for the entrance I thought it was exaggerated... So I began the visit like I was fooled ... instead it wasn't so this zoo has only been opened since last year as the old zoo was closed ... And here you can see lot of tropical species ...and in their natural tropical habitat where you could go in to and feel the tropical humid weather conditions.... Some people go there because it treats as a sauna and medicine for their needs ... A must to see if you are around Emmen or Groningen. It is worth money and don't forget to visit butterflies and birds ...that's awesome ;)

Een mooi opgezet Park. Niet enorm veel dieren, maar wel veel vertier. De top attracties zijn er leuk en de sfeer van de werelden is mooi neergezet. De restaurants zijn ook mooi ingericht, maar als het druk is verwacht ik chaos.
Serenga is mooi met beter weer en Jungola is prima voor de winterdag.
Met Nortica had wel wat meer gedaan mogen worden in plaats van een achtbaan neerzetten.
Nu de prijzen wat naar beneden gaan is het wel een vermakelijk dagje om te doen.

A beautiful park, where the animals still have a lot of space. You just feel that they are having a good time. It is true that there is not such a variety of animals, but if you see the animals playing well and feel that they are comfortable, I think this park is a relief. I can watch their behavior for hours.

Very nice park. Just a pity that there is no rental of carts / cart.

Mooi ruim opgezet park. Mooie verblijven waar de dieren het goed hebben.
Bij de bavianen was de straat onhandig met al die stoepjes die rond lopen. In het kwartier dat ik daar liep was er een kindje gevallen waarvoor ehbo nodig was. Een vrouw struikelde en viel hard op de grond. Mijn man ging ook bijna onderuit.

Very nice .. Especially if you are in the area and can get tickets through a deal. Something different and animals just walk around freely, therefore extra fun.

Genoeg te doen voor de Kids. De dieren hebben veel ruimte en laten zich ook goed zien. Min puntje is dat sommig personeel extreem tevreden is terwijl je ander personeel tegen elkaar hoort klagen. Iets wat een bezoeker niet hoort te horen. Verder is het een buiten gewoon toegankelijk park voor mensen in een rolstoel op een paar dingen na kunnen ze overal bij komen.

Beautiful place with lots of space for all species. Nice indoor playground, as well.

The most beautiful animal park in the Netherlands. Free space for all animals and that is reflected in the behavior. Cheerful and lively. As a real animal lover you should not even complain about the distances between each animal species.

Point of improvement: better indicate where the shows take place and indicate where each animal species is. It is sometimes a quest.

Nice zoo, with lots of nature-rich space for the animals.

Very nice park where everything was nicely decorated. The advantage was that the school holiday in this part of the Netherlands had not yet started, which made it very quiet

Mooi ingericht, heel mooi zelfs. Maar dieren niet altijd goed te zien (denk daarbij bv aan de leeuwen). 30 euro wel veel geld voor wat je krijgt. Wel een goede " koffie voor de hele dag" regeling. Leuk bedacht

Als rolstoelgebruiker was ik nieuwsgierig hoe mij Wildlands zou bevallen, zeker wat betreft het aanpassingsniveau voor mindervaliden. Ik moet zeggen dat het over het algemeen prima geregeld was. Nette schone toiletten, helaas 1 zonder slot. Alle onderdelen van het park zijn voor een gehandicapt persoon goed te bereiken, slechts de toegang tot de brug naar Nortica bevatte een vervelende hoge drempel waardoor zonder begeleider de rolstoel zeker achterover was geklapt.
Puntjes van kritiek: de hoogte van de muren om de dierenverblijven missen lage inkijkdelen voor rolstoelgebruikers. Niet iedereen kan gaan staan.
Vol lof ben ik over de mogelijkheden in de rolstoel een boottocht te kunnen maken. Super goed geregeld.
Voor mij was een een fijn dagje uit, echt genoten Er is goed gekeken
naar Animal Kingdom van Disney, maar daar betaal je tegenwoordig 108 dollar voor 1 bezoekje voor.

Enjoyed Wildlands, beautiful park. According to our grandson the most beautiful zoo in the whole world!

I really can't fault Wildlands. It is probably the most beautiful zoo I have ever visited. You often hear that it is an amusement park with animals, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is a real zoo with 3 major attractions, all three of which are worthwhile. You can also see the most beautiful animal enclosures in the Netherlands here.

Although the range of animal species is smaller than most zoos, the experience of each animal will stay with me more than seeing 20 species of monkeys in square concrete cells. In addition, there were very many specimens of all animal species, so there was always plenty to see. Contrary to many reviews, I have had no trouble viewing the animals.



The waiting times for the 'top attractions' were not that bad, and these were certainly worth it. We only had to wait half an hour for the safari ride. I can heartily recommend that you do this after 5 hours, then the park will be almost empty and the queue will be completely gone.

I recommend Wildlands to everyone

Nice and big place good for children but some animals are hiding

Nice zoo and more. Very adventurous for young and older children.

Beautiful zoo with at least a little free exercise environment for animals, highly recommended

A combination of zoo and theme park (only 1 roller coaster), very high level decoration with boat and safari rides and great varaity of animals

Opinions are divided on this. I still find it a nice park, although the prices of the drinks are on the high side.

Very nicely set up and clean park animals all have the space.

We found it a very nice experience, this zoo is beautifully set up and distinguishes itself with this. Also the combination of the attractions makes it all even more fun.

Very nicely decorated zoo, with lots of space for the animals and plenty to do for the visitors.

We recommend the boat trip and the sea lion show.

Is more of an amusement park for children up to 6 years old than a zoo. I thought it was not worth 80 euros ... 2 x adults a 30 euros. Parking 10 euros and two ice creams and a bottle of drink comes to 80 for less than 2 hours of fun

As a new location, the park lacks the cosiness of the old zoo. Jungola is best made with a fun attraction and lots to discover for children.

All in all a neat park and I had a great time, but my expectation was higher. Best set up, but I expected a little more animals. From the TV program I also expected a huge butterfly garden, but this was a lot smaller in the end than the TV made me believe. The park also has no attractions as I expected, but a few small tours through areas.

Nice park. Not extremely large. Everything was really seen at 10 a.m. and 4.30 with 2 kids who want to go everywhere, etc.

Nice animal park good to visit in the corona time friendly staff. Stays of the animals look neat and tidy. At the end of the day unfortunately very busy in the same place so we chose to skip the last part of the park, this is of course your own risk if you go to a park during this time. We will definitely come back.

Very nice also the attractions but do not go in the roller coaster 5 times in 5 times lost 5 recommended is the piza restaurant across the square

Then not been there ... who also stops animals I booth ..

What an amazing park. 3 different worlds that each end up on the square in front. The decor has been thought through very well in every world. With every step you take you imagine yourself in that world. Class done! The animals also have super nice and spacious accommodation and are easy to see from multiple sides.

Beautiful zoo, unfortunately not all open, but definitely worth it.

Very nice park. Lots of room to view the animals, very nicely laid out.

Very much enjoyed the evening walk Wild Nights. Everything is very nicely lit, a show with a fountain and the well-known attention to detail that makes Wildlands so beautiful: high-pile film lamps had a concrete base that was masked with wood chips so that they were absorbed into the surroundings. Magnificent.

Viel tegen. Het park is mooi, maar met een mooie dag als vandaag ben je zo klaar. Door de drukte teveel teleurstellingen. Niet echt een dierentuin. Het safari ritje met de bus is een aanfluiting, die de wachttijd niet waard is. Dan maar naar de zeehondenshow van 15 uur. Omdat de deuren door de wind open waren gegaan, moesten wij allen de tribune verlaten. Het was 14.15 en we zaten lekker in de schaduw bij te komen, maar moesten weg. Om kwart voor drie waren we weer van harte welkom. Ok, dan maar een lekker koud pilsje halen. Sorry, die is op! Evenals een aantal soorten ijsjes. Wij waren zeker niet de enige die rekening hielden met dit mooie weer, gezien de vele flessen zonnebrand die wij gezien hebben. Maar goed dan maar een colaatje.
Terug naar de show om kwart voor drie, maar nu was de zaal vol?!? De deuren moeten toch eerder open gegaan zijn.
De show van 16 uur konden we wel zien, maar voor ons was de maat vol. Lekker terug naar huis, maar eerst nog een klein half uur lopen naar de auto op parkeerplaats2. Wat een eind lopen is dat zeg. Ik mag hopen dat dit gaat veranderen.
Het geld zeker niet waard. Zonde. Aan het weer heeft het niet gelegen, of misschien toch wel......

Great experience only the entrance fee is a bit high .. 25 pp and children 22.50 pp should be enough ...

Beautiful park, but for us personally no longer the zoo of yesteryear. The old one was nicer for us

The most beautiful and fun zoo I have ever seen! also very nice for children

Never again for us once. Do yourself and your portfolio a favor and go to nordhorn

Very nice park. Many wild animals seen. I just do not understand the roller coaster. Does not fit

Na alle kritiek die we van alle richtingen hoorden een warme douche gehad. Een erg mooi aangelegd park. Inderdaad, niet alle dieren staan precies onder je neus, maar dat geeft een extra dimensie. In onze beleving hebben de dieren lekker veel ruimte en kun je ze van diverse kanten bekijken. Daarnaast heb je de attracties waarmee je ze weer van een andere kant bekijkt. Het park is zeer netjes. Helaas konden we door het troebele water onder water niets zien. Wellicht zou het park hier nog wat kunnen verbeteren. En we misten de haaien.

Onze tip zou zijn... neem je tijd om heerlijk naar de dieren te kijken, dan zie je meer als in het vorige park. Ook de kids kunnen op verschillende plaatsen klimmen en klauteren. Wij vonden het een aanrader en gaan zeker nog eens.

I think this zoo is especially suitable for children as it is not only animals but also a rollercoaster or a simulation. So a great zoo for family with children.

First visit to the park. Very beautiful and large and does justice to the term "Adventure Zoo". Large enclosures for the animals, we have really looked at animal welfare here. Definitely worth a visit, there is something for everyone to see and experience.

Nicely set up, enough space for the animals. Fun activities for the children.

Just because of the butterfly house I would go back immediately

Super nice, beautiful and clean park! We saw many nice and beautiful animals. Lots to see and good information boards with fun facts. Nice shows and a lot to see. All doable in 1 day. Recommended :)

With discount cards via ANWB only 16.50 per person it is extra fun.

Very busy in the park. People take little account of keeping their distance. Many soap dispensers were empty at the busy points. A pity, because it is a very beautiful park and still sets the atmosphere.
Wildlands itself has taken as many measures as possible, so compliments for that. Screens at the entrance, screens in the attractions and people are placed at the shows and left outside organized. One-way traffic is also nicely organized. Perhaps reduce the number of visitors or place people in the park here and there (at busy points) to remind people of the distance. And refill the soap pumps faster.
Tip for when you visit the park: be on time for shows. Doors open earlier because of placement and ten minutes before the show starts, our grandstand was already full.

A little expensive, but worth it in large groups. You are incredibly close to the animals and experience experiences that you rarely get offered otherwise. The cafe at the entrance is also good. The staff can speak both German and English. And small orders like a cappuccino arrive incredibly fast. In short I am excited

Super nice park, really well thought out. The decor, atmosphere and experience in the spacious 'worlds' where the animals can be viewed are also beautifully designed. There is also something to do in every world, from boat trip to safari trip, which makes it extra exciting and fun for the children. As far as I am concerned, a smart blueprint for good animal parks!

Super nice stuffed zoo. Beautiful stays! Highly recommended

Een heel mooi park en goed bereikbaar.
De combinatie van dierentuin en attractiepark schijnt hier goed te werken. Ze hebben niet uitbundig veel soorten dieren maar wat ze hebben is goed verzorgd en de verblijven zijn mooi aangelegd. Er is ook genoeg speelgelegenheid voor jonge kinderen en de horeca is goed verzorgd.

Really good. Great zoo. Big clean jacks and 3 different topics that are well implemented. The entrance is not very cheap. Especially the park skin with 10 in. However, everything must be entertained. We like to drive to Emmen in the zoo.

It will probably be a very nice park for the animals, but probably less for most people. For us in any case. What a deception. Amateurist attractions, long waiting times (58 minutes in a row for a dull ride of 6 (!!!) minutes), few animals, far too many candy and snack booths and completely misplaced muzak in the craziest places. Once I went to the old park for about three years, but in Wildlands they no longer see us. And then I don't even complain about the price. Next time Artis or Blijdorp or Burgers or the Efteling.

Nice and beautiful park. But when it's busy I personally don't think it's worth it, queues too long and too crowded

not as much rollercoaster or attractions as advertised but would be fun for small children
