Dierenpark Emmen Reviews

Much less like an old zoo and very much on the price.

Very nice animal park (was it in the old town also) safari area, butterfly garden etc

Leuke combinatie van dierentuin en attractiepark. Jammer genoeg kun je vanaf de "Savanne" de flatgebouwen van de stad nog erg goed zien. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet is de vlindertuin. Erg warm, maar met schitterende vlinders in alle kleuren en maten. Voor de energieke mensen is er ook een stoer parcours van touwbruggen. Daar kun je vanaf grote hoogte de jungle beter bekijken en nog dichter bij de dieren komen. NIET alleen leuk voor kinderen!

Op ongeveer 10 minuten lopen vanaf het park heb je gratis parkeerplaatsen, net voorbij de treinspoor.

Het park is nu nog wat kaal (qua begroeiing) maar dat is niet zo raar voor een supernieuwe dierentuin.

Great to see how the park develops. Nice spacious layout for nature and the animals

Very beautiful and definitely worth it.
Was now also quiet, could see everything at ease.

Become a nice park. Do not expect a 100% zoo, it is an adventure park.

Beautifully landscaped park, a bit of a cross between an amusement park and a zoo. Not very many animals. No private parking, very long rows at the (only 3) parking machines around closing time.

Very nice adventure park! The wait is sometimes long but what you get in return is beautiful!

In Corona tijd naar Wildlands? Doe het niet!
Ze laten veel te veel bezoekers toe in het park. Het is er veel te druk en het is onmogelijk om de 1,5 meter afstand te houden.
Het was echt niet verantwoord om daar rond te lopen.

Bij de receptie aangegeven dat het zo niet kan en de corona maatregelen niet gehandhaafd worden, daar werd nauwelijks op gereageerd. We hebben ons geld terug gevraagd, omdat we het onverantwoord vonden om gebruik te maken van onze tickets.
Helaas waren de medewerkers van Wildlands totaal niet bereid om mee te denken of met een oplossing te komen. Uiteindelijk geen risico genomen en weggegaan. Niks van het park kunnen zien en 127 euro weg kunnen gooien.

Nice zoo including attractions. Well equipped for children in terms of information and activities.

Relatively small zoo. Admission and other optional prices are too high for what you get back.

nicely presented,would recommend it to a friend but,at the city centre, too noisy .

Nice zoo very different from the old one, but may be

Nice park, nice and smart set up! Unique experiences to do attractions.

Vind het de prijs niet waard. Bij de parkeerplaats ( 10) al veel onduidelijk van welke kant moeten we op.
Binnen ook. Achtbaan zou bij nortica zijn volgens medewerker maar was op de serenga. 3 keer langs de ingang gelopen richting de achtbaan maar het word zo onduidelijk aangegeven. Tweestrijd??? Zet er even wat ter verduidelijking bij.

Onbeperkt Slush puppie? Ja maar hij was of net op of werd niet bij die stand 'verkocht'. Heel irritant.

Terra Explorer ook zoiets 'spannends'. NOT. Een nep lift met videofilmpje.

Meeste niet gezien of niet kunnen vinden door de beroerde aanduidingen.

Hoewel jungola het enige nog wel leuke was toch nooit weer! 2x 30 verspild + parkeren + benzine.

Very nice experience zoo. For small and large something here. But higher entry but you also get a lot for the money. Driving will definitely be here again.

Nice zoo, just a pity that many restaurants were closed.

Vol verwachting gingen we met het gezin naar wildlands.
Helaas was het entiostiastme snel verdwenen.
De prijs verhouding met wat je te zien krijgt staat regelrecht tegen over elkaar.
Weinig dieren en de dieren er zijn zijn slecht te zien als het druk is doordat er maar kleine plaatsen zijn om ze te bekijken.
De atrakties die zo groot opgeblazen zijn zijn naar een wassenneus. Enorme wachttijden om een ritje te maken met de safari van nog geen 5 min waar je dan dieren te zien krijgt die je ook lopend door de dierentuin kan zien.
dit was bij de boottocht ook het geval.
Het eten en drinken is schreeuwend duur.
En dan spreken we nog niet eens over de intree prijs van 29 euro.
Voor kleine kinderen is het misschien leuk Ivbm de activiteiten.
Maar wij vonden het een dikke onvoldoende.
Geef mij het oude park maar weer!

This is my favourite animal zoo in the Netherlands. You can get close to the animals and the animals have a lot of room to move. The park looks so nice as well, it feels like you're entering a theme park.

Very beautiful park! Well worth it. Nice attractions also for a change

Very nice. It's more about the experience than the animals. Our children 5 and 9 enjoyed it and so did we. Nice to take the 8baan in between.

What a beautiful park this has become.
With 3 themes and a lot of space for the animals.
There are fewer animals than other zoos, but if you want to see many animals in small lofts you should not be here.
With a safari truck between zebras and giraffes or an exciting 3d trip between polar bears and penguins, you have a lot of variety. We will definitely come back here.

Recommended for families with children. Much to experience.

Super nice and spacious. Nice that there are also animals roaming the paths on some parts

Beautiful zoo, small extras such as the canal cruise, train or tour provides some beautiful views of animals close by. Well supplied with alcohol dospencers, sometimes a bit difficult to keep your distance when everyone lingers at a guesthouse.

Beautiful park, nice attractions and spacious animal shelters. It was very quiet today, so everything could be seen well and quickly in everything. Clean toilets friendly staff.

Modern and spacious. Enough parking places, within walking distance of the entrance.

Really nice park, nice among the animals. Climb and clamber. And very well finished. Top!

Beautiful park. Friendly people. Animals have a lot of space.

Nice zoo and very nice that they pay attention to the children. by getting stamps in the different areas they got their passport full. are several beautiful shows.

Some don't like it, but we loved it. Animals are close and there are a lot. The waiting lines for the different rides are way too long though.

It was too busy today. People work in blocks (entry), but that makes little sense if everyone stays there all day. It really didn't feel right.
We therefore left on time.
However, a beautiful park where we will definitely go again outside of holiday time.
But in my opinion it is not justified in this way.

After the many negative reports about Wildlands we went to see for ourselves, and to our great surprise nothing negative at all.
We have been to Wildlands with our grandson and experienced a wonderful day with nothing negative

Nicely set up, fun all day, hospitality a bit slow.

Wildlands adventure zoo is a very nice park for young and old. It is a real active zoo where you can not only look at animals but also face obstacles yourself. We have also been on all tours that the park offers. These tours are taught to young and old about it

Beautiful butterflies. A disadvantage with the river attraction is that you have already visited the animals, and are no longer surprised. Short attractions, 3d film at nortica was fun. There was not much to see under the water through the windows. Could buy bird food for birds in jungola. To see a park show, you must be there in advance, strict times. Good explanation for presentations. Obtained the impression that the park focused primarily on children.

Unfortunately, no real opinion can form .. our daughter of 4 became ill .. after an hour we went back home. So sorry ... she had girlfriend with me ... but after 3x vomiting we found it really enough. She did not want to go home herself (scatch!). But health is more important!

Mooi aangelegd park waar de dieren fatsoenlijk de ruimte hebben heel wat anders als in sommige andere dierentuinen.
Goede parkeerplaatsen en toegankelijk voor gehandicapten en kinderwagens.

Entrance price is quite high for what is offered, I have the impression that it is only about the money machine, the range of Food and drinks at the park is also scrambling, especially the candy is present in all types.

Het vernieuwde Emmer dierenpark is niet reusachtig groot maar ruim voldoende voor een dagje weg.
Erg geschikt voor kinderen. Er zijn veel leuke spannende plekjes om te ontdekken, spelen en experimenteren. Op vele plekken werd er met water gewerkt wat het voor hen erg aantrekkelijk maakt.
Ik heb de indruk dat het grootste deel van het budget opging aan de Jungola. Deze omgeving ziet er werkelijk prachtig uit. Wanneer de olifanten een douche nemen onder de waterval is dat een spectaculair gezicht.
De Serenga is het grootste gebied en Nortica het kleinste.
Door het gehele park zijn passende en sfeervolle entourages te vinden.
Belangrijk vind ik dat de dieren zich prettig leken te voelen. Voldoende afstand zodat ze geen last van publiek hebben maar toch zichtbaar genoeg.
Wildlands is dus zeker een bezoek waard!

You don't see enough for the price. And that it is outrageous that there are not enough wheelchairs, you have to book them in advance. And is not indicated on the site. If you do such an action with the NS again, you really have to work together. So with you or the ns, the dates must expire at the same time.

Nice park, it is a pity that there are significantly fewer animals than in the Noorder Dierenpark.

Yes is nice and special. A little more information about the various animals is missing, children think it's OK.

Nicely made park. Not a standard zoo. Not enough educational.

Nice zoo, but great to see and experience everything in 1 day.

Het is een ruim opgezet dierentuin terrein. het was rond het vriespunt en waren veel dieren in de binnenverblijven en daardoor waren ze van zeer dichtbij te bewonderen.
het is alleen jammer dat niet alle informatie op de borden in Nederlands Duits en Engels te lezen was. Maar al met al een mooi opgezet park

Visited Wildlands twice now and still haven't seen the entire park, therefore my review only applies to the continents Nortica and Jungola. The park is large, beautifully landscaped and gives me a feeling that the animals have a lot of space. The disadvantage of this is that you will not always see all animals. For example, on my second visit I had only seen the polar bears, had been there right in the morning, as I was unable to see them in the afternoon on the first visit on a rainy day. I definitely go to Wildlands more often, every next visit you discover more and see other animals. For those who have never been before, do not rely on the reactions of 'we do not see animals'. Take your time and go exploring, so you will see many more animals and you will also appreciate their living environment. Of course I also had my moments when I think back to the old park, I sometimes miss some animals, but also discover many new animals. It is no longer from to the next booth, it is now to another continent and to discover which animals you will see and in what environment they live. The Wildlands app is also very useful, in which you can filter what you want to see / search and read extra information about the animals and their environment. Wildlands is indeed an adventure, and this approach is new and very pleasant to me. If you haven't been yet, enjoy the adventure and explore! And discover something new every time! Have fun in Wildlands adventure Zoo !!

Nice park, not too big park. I have not paid the full amount, but I think 30 euros is very expensive.

Less fun than I expected.
For a family with young children (up to 10 years) it is easy to do.

A great and beautiful park to spend your heletag and a very friendly staff the park is very nice clean and a true adventure will definitely go farther

Prima park, looks very good. We really liked the Jungola. One minus was that all small food and drink stalls were closed until well after 12:00. Furthermore had a great day.

Review Wildlands Adventure Zoo in Emmen.

Vanaf de N381 wordt je goed naar de parkeerplaatsen geleidt en daar vandaan is het +/- 10 min. lopen.
Max. kosten voor een dag parkeren is E10, dus dat is ook wel normaal.
De aankomsthal is heel groot en daardoor is er een snelle doorstroming van het publiek.
Met toegangsprijzen van 25 tot 30 euro is het wel wat duur, maar dit is tegenwoordig een gangbare prijs voor attractieparken.
Helaas zijn een aantal klimobjecten niet geschikt voor kinderen onder een bepaalde grootte omdat de afstand tussen de klimbalken te groot is, waardoor de kans op eraf vallen wel erg groot is.
Er zijn te weinig rustplaatsen voor de ouders langs de route, om even te gaan zitten als de kinderen ergens bezig zijn.
Helaas bestaat het personeel voor het grootste deel uit tieners die GEEN verstand hebben van omgang met publiek.
Toen wij er op 5 mei waren was het heel druk, maar je kon toch wel redelijk doorlopen.
Ook zijn er geen informatiebordjes meer bij de verschillende diersoorten, wat juist van belang is voor de educatieve kant van het park.
Helaas waren enkele shows afgelast, wat natuurlijk niet leuk is voor de kinderen die al een kwartier staan te wachten.
Dit werd pas op het laatste moment door een medewerker medegedeeld.
De Safari-rit is wel leuk, maar zou iets meer aktie mogen hebben.(Zeker als je 45 min. heb staan wachten met 2 jongens van 6 jaar).
De grote indoor-speelgelegenheid is leuk ingericht met heel veel verschillende activiteiten en WEL genoeg zitplaatsen voor de ouders.
Dankzij de E10 korting per kaartje van de ANWB was het zijn prijs wel waard.
Al met al toch een leuke dag uit voor de kinderen.

Was very quiet today. It is a pity that not all was open and some stays closed earlier

Mooi park! Twee kleintjes bij die de ogen uitkeken.
Minpunt is dat er geen buggy's of karretjes te huur waren dus hele dag kinderen op de nek en arm gehad.
Ze waren er nog mee bezig werd gezegd (opening Maart 2016).

Super nice park. Well maintained. Very clean. Friendly staff. Nice stays for the animals. Great day out

Very atmospheric converted into a light park. Little can be seen of the animals, but is more than compensated for by cosiness.

Very nicely set up, high season of course busy. You have to queue for the boats and so on. That's why I skip. It should not be a theme park. Furthermore you come very often along the elephants. Furthermore, very clean and tidy. Also the covered part where you have the space to have something to eat.

Superpark als je kids hebt. Het is echt een avonturenpark en kids hebben het er reuze naar hun zin. Het geheel is heel mooi opgezet en je kan er zo een hele dag besteden en veel plezier beleven. Dieren, speeltuinen, outdoor, indoor het was een feestje!

Nice park, more fun than a normal zoo by many other activities such as a roller coaster etc. However, the food tent was a drama. Wrong order up to 3 times and first sandwich after 15 minutes the next pass to 35 and the last pass to 45. If they have a better occupancy at the tents it was a 5 star.

Despite the rain, the climbing routes are in my opinion not their color in terms of difficulty in some places (there the routes are classified according to difficulty by colors) but the team, which is really super nice, is there to take you down fetch when you run out of strength or you can't get any further

After hearing many negative reports about Wildlands, I enjoyed the beautifully landscaped park and the fantastic freedom that the animals have with my daughter. Too bad it is so expensive, for families almost unaffordable. Everyone should have the opportunity to visit this at least once.

Unfortunately I didn't like it .... few animals and you hardly saw them.
Too much green ... the idea that I was walking in a garden center.
A pity but there will not be a second time

We bought our tickets for Wildlands in 2016 when the park was still under construction because we thought it would be a good idea to dredge through this park as an Indiana Jones instead of practicing Indiana Bank.

Our adventure had to wait a bit because even the most experienced Jungle Pilot does get sick and when we wanted to go the ticket was no longer valid, well ... you will just see but this did not stop us and after intensive consultation with Wildlands they wanted to let us go for a day that was yesterday 6 November 2018.

After entering the park you literally step into the realm of the animals and can start the Jumangi adventure, armed with a map, backpack, Appelsientje and Iphone on hunting ......
You do not have to wait long .... Step into the Jungle and you'll be embraced by everything that flies and experience the tropical temperatures that can make it very difficult for you as an explorer. Even King Julian feels at home here.

We made our way through this Jungle and ended up on slinky roads on the North Pole where we got a lift from a lashed scientist who let us fly over the North Pole in a bird's eye view, well ... the man has to learn a lot and we could escape safely without the help of Kowalski ...

Trained that we were, real Die Hards, we end up in African spheres where we were really part of their world stronger yet we were even on their guests list ... as main menu !!!

Sneaking past the rulers of this steppe we could get a ride to shelter safely behind the gazelles and longnecks .... Yes you could really see that we were experienced adventurers because nobody noticed that we were there ... ..

After tampering with a large steel monster who tried to surprise us both forwards and backwards, we demolished this world to end up at the starting point.

Our trip was fantastic, the reward, a very rich experience, where you stay for a day in their world with all the space they deserve.

Highly recommended ... for those who dare.

If one of the ticket price seems quite high initially, I have to say it is worth every penny! We expected a zoo and we got an unforgettable experience. A lot of love for detail and for the welfare of the animals comes over here and that costs just time money. Then absolutely friendly people in the park so 5 stars with plus. Where else can you get safari ride in the truck and small boat tour? So not for every day very clear but absolutely repeatable. Thanks to all who are involved. Thank you Well!

This park is surely one of the nicest we have in NL it looks neat and tidy and you can look at the animals in fun and in every theme section there are attractions where you as a family can in short I and my family had a great day here !!!

A very large but very empty feeling park. You could notice that the employees knew that they do not have much job security. They were, except for one man, all pretty grumpy. Some animals have a very large area to walk around, better than zoos where I have been in Europe .. but still you get a very sad feeling at the sight of all those animals in a massive cage. Especially the polar bears looked sad. One of them always ran up against a fence, took 2 steps back, and ran into the fence again. The absolute highlight is Jungola, a covered tropical area. Very nice boat trip through all beautiful plants, birds and elephants. There were also many play sets for the kids.

Really nice zoo. Not so big, but a bit more expensive.

Very nice for a dachie from but with food and drinks quite pricey

Beautiful, of course, and a little bit of attraction. A beautiful park with potential for more.

Few animals seen. You walk your lazerus, can not shorten the route. If you have difficulty walking you have trouble getting to the exit. Safari ride and boat trip a joke. Must queue for an hour first. You can no longer withdraw if you no longer feel like it. Never going to this park again.

Beautiful park, friendly staff and good handling of measures.

A very nice park that does take disabled people into account. Friendly rangers. Super super super.

Despite the cold we experienced a pleasant day. The sad thing about the park is that every time you have to walk back the same route to go to another part. You can not just walk from the savannah to the ice section.

Did not meet my expectations. The setup looks nice at first sight, but I miss a lot of animals. It looks like a kind of ballorig but with a few animals. Plus point there are eating / drinking tents everywhere.
