Dierenrijk Reviews

Super cute zoo. Nice and quiet on a Sunday during the holidays. Many playgrounds. Ideal for children from 5 years.

Very nice zoo
We used to always go to the Antwerp zoo. What a difference!
Very nice for the children.
Only drawback: quite expensive sandwiches ..
I had a luxury carpaccio sandwich for about 6, but this was disappointing. It was very dry

Fairly wide range of animals. Zoo mainly suitable for children and their (grand) parents.

Nice park for young and old. You can walk with some animals and some animals can feed you. Elephant show was also fun and educational for the children. Nice park with activities and decoration.

Get ready for an avalanche of negative press... Forcing two predatory species into an enclosure as they fight to the death is not nature, it s human bloodsport. No different than bullfighting or rooster fighting, it s only for entertainment.

Super fun also for very small children, they can see everything well and have a lot of play possibilities

Very nice zoo. Not too big, so ideal with small children. You can get very close to the animals. Many play options for children.

Very nice zoo, also takes a lot of corona measures and you can feed some bugs which I really like because they donate part of the profit

Nice park. Especially when you go with children. The caretakers were very friendly too. The park was clean and the parking is okay. But I do miss a bit of character in the park. More themes around the animals and more explanation about that with for example Info signs. Origin etc .. it seems bland but it is also instructive. For the rest, the park is not that big but sufficient to fill a good half day.

Nice zoo. Spacious. It is not large, but very diverse in terms of animals. Most animals can be seen well because you can look at several places in the loft.

Very nice park. Not too big, which makes it very manageable with young children (toddler toddler). Animals closer together, nice playgrounds in between and everything well maintained. Shows are also given, but I have not seen these. The park itself is already recommended!

Nice, ever-growing zoo with many play areas for children. Only drawback: staff at the counter is not knowledgeable about the range of the shop.

Beautiful zoo with many places where you can get very close to different animals. This is not just about looking but really experiencing.

Great beautiful zoo. Lots of playgrounds for children

For (small) children a pleasant zoo, lots of play options both inside and outside. A pity that there is little choice in terms of food.

It is a lot of fun and there are quite a lot of animals

I don't like the fact wolves are kept in the same enclosure along with bears.

Very nice zoo and lots of play options for the kids

Have now been to this zoo 2x with toddlers. For them it is a nice, well-organized zoo. They can often see the animals well because they can get close to the pens and there is transparent fencing. The distances are not too great and there are plenty of animal species. There are several playgrounds that are suitable for the little ones.
Personally, I sometimes find the cages a bit small and I wonder if the places are suitable for all animals.

Animal jail. Zoo keepers put Brown bears with wolves, how dumb are these people. Should not operate a business like this. Zoo keepers should be put in with the wolves and bears, see how they like to be killed and eaten.

Mierlo animal kingdom. Nice animal park. Well worth a visit. Child friendly too

Nice not too big animal park. Park is very accessible stroller friendly. Staff very helpful and happy to talk about the animals. Play areas are fun and clear

Beautiful and well-kept park.
Especially for children who playfully become known with animals.

Not so big but nice for small children because of the indoor and outdoor playground.

Nice zoo! The animals have more space than in many German zoos.
Nice Spielpatz at the entrance or exit.
We spent about 3.5 hours in the zoo (including a short lunch bag).

20 euros a bit on the expensive side for this zoo. A nice zoo with good facilities for children. Without children we have looked at it extensively in 3 hours. With children you can spend more time there. Lots of play equipment on the central square.

Very nice small-scale zoo. Ideal for small children. Nice organized tours.

Today was very few animals. Closed lofts, no atmosphere, nothing.

What a surprising, Beautiful, Fun, child-friendly Park.

A great zoo, completely different than in Poland. You simply enter many animal enclosures and you can admire the animal without barriers or bars. Close encounter with lemurs that I pass on from person to person, or a bird flight farm, where we can admire such diverse specimens in one place without any restrictions. Really a zoo open to children.

Nice zoo for a good price (via euro saving). Nice extension with rhinos.

Super cozy child-friendly zoo. Nicely set up, never the idea that it is busy

Very nice. Contact with animals .. great fun for children.

This is lovely and amazing zoo located nearby Eindhoven (approx 8 km away). perfect for a weekend trip. Not a big one, but offering a lot of different animal species and a big voliere with many birds flying freely around you. Also lot of attractions for small kids, few playgrounds. Prices are reasonable. Recommend for every animal lover.

A well-maintained animal park that has made huge leaps forward from the current owner. Especially suitable for children up to 12 years old. This is because the park is not too big and because there is a lot of opportunity to play on the route next to the animals. Several times a day there are performances about and with the animals. How they live and are cared for. There is also a food tour. You can get very close to the animals and sometimes touch them. Especially the 'nibble fish' made an impression. At the entrance there is a souvenir shop and a fine self-service restaurant. There is also a large outdoor playground and an indoor playground. We were with a large group (school) with the day out coins from the Jumbo. They were not prepared for that when they arrived and that went wrong. Contact was also made several times in advance to get in earlier because of the school hours. That was promised, but it never happened. So we waited almost 45 minutes. So it is not quite going well with large groups, but otherwise a nice zoo.

Nice smaller zoo. More focused and very suitable for smaller children. Various playground equipment on the route. Compared to other zoos, something about the price.

Not a big zoo, but very nice. Certainly for children enough opportunities to play both inside and outside and nice animals. If you run past the stay of the lynx, it often runs after you. Nice for you and for lynx

A really great zoo, which is absolutely worth the price. The animal enclosures are well maintained and partially even accessible, so that you can see some species at close range and possibly also caress. The Zoorundgang leads past all animals and the size of the zoo is optimal - you will find your way around well. I highly recommend a trip to the Dierenrijk Zoo.

Nicely decorated park where you can walk among the animals nearby and sometimes yourself. Today in the winter very quiet and so nice to walk around. Staff very friendly. Recommended!

Nice park, clean and well maintained! Regarded as a family park and it is. For each his own. We found the ticklish fish especially funny.

It is very cozy. A clear improvement.
.
Worth to stay there. Nice
room for the children to play and the animals were a feast for the eyes.
Friendly staff.
In short. Worth the effort

Very nice spacious and tidy.park, lots of different animals and fun route and info, attraction according to the female are surely the tickle fish. And the Lemurs

Children can quietly see all the animals up close and it is not colossal

A beautiful (local) animal park of which I have experienced the opening as a child. Nowadays I visit every year and it is nice to see how the zoo has expanded its selection of animals, which is now comparable to most other zoos in the Netherlands. Some accommodations may need a makeover / extension, but the caretakers visibly treat the animals with love. The fairly straightforward route through the park could perhaps be made a bit more 'exciting' by means of a theme or a little more interaction for children, but we will certainly return here more often.

Super zoo
Very child friendly and really good animals
Elephants, lions, lynx and many other animals.
Really great. Really recommended.

Lovely little zoo very suitable for young children.

Nice to go with children. Except that there are many animals, you can also play fun.

It is a wonderfully cozy animal park, well maintained and lots of play options for the smaller children. I myself went with another adult but we enjoyed ourselves all day. The buffet is also extensive. Highly recommended!!!!

Nice zoo we go for the nibble fish that Fleur likes so much

It is a pleasant place to discover with the family, the play areas associated with animals make the visit more varied for children.
The animals are numerous but have room, many are very close to us, it is impressive and rare to see them so close.
The park is wooded and on a human scale, with lots of benches, toilets and more ...
A great experience, only downside the parking at 6 more.

Little space for the animals. The animals seemed sipip.

Very nice zoo where the animals have all the space. Very educational for children. You will also find plenty of playing facilities on the site.

That was a solo trip and I was enjoyed each and every time over there. Highlights are polar bear, fish tank, lemur

Had a really nice morning. Walking route ensures that you see everything, animals are quite active. Not too busy, so good to enforce Covid rules. They also handle this perfectly in the restaurants.

Very nice family zoo!

Small yet very complete. The animals look healthy and happy, and you can get close to almost all animals.

Highlights are the polar bears born last year, and of course the Indian rhinos from Tiergarten Berlin.

Special shout-out for caretaker Jeroen, who has already told us very extensively and enthusiastically about the animals in the park a number of times. If you spot him, make sure to chat with him!

The only point of criticism is the planting of the park, which could use a little more attention. The number of stinging nettles in particular was striking, and a sad young man with a stingy leg was a must! Mama had it under control, it worked out well!

Prices are great: 20 euros admission (various discount options available), parking space 6 euros, affordable subscription available.

Recommended!

Great zoo for small children. Animals are clearly visible

Very nice zoo. We were here for about 3 hours, then you have seen the whole park. For small children a really nice indoor and outdoor playground. Animals are well cared for here and have the space. You can also get very close to animals, you can really stand against the fences.

Super nice zoo. Everything well cared for
And you can see almost all animals close up and touch them if it works. Towards more expansions such as the rhinos for example.

Has deteriorated last year. But the ring-tailed lemurs remain great fun. Hope it will be zoo again and less playground. And tell the volunteers a little more than what's in their folder. Knowing too much is not appreciated. Then they throw you out. While other zoos are happy if you know a little more. Show that you are interested and want to learn. Not simply telling useless information from the map.

Nice relaxed zoo. Good opportunities to get close to the animals. Not as crowded as other zoo's.
