Natura Artis Magistra Reviews

Nice park, little space for the animals and too few toilets for today's bustle. Good and plenty of food / drink occasions.

Lots of animals to see but very small enclosures for some of the larger animals, which was sad to see. The queuing system to buy tickets and enter the zoo is also a farce - some groups were spending 10 minutes at a counter. Not sure why the staff were so slow in dishing out tickets - sort it out!

A must do visiting Amsterdam. Especially worth the visit when traveling with kids. Good educational program and lot's of animals to see.

A large zoo, well-kept animals, also on the territory of a planetarium, the price of which is included in the ticket price.) You can safely go for the whole day. There are also many cafes, wc.

nice how the zoo is changing compared to my childhood.
to continue the tradition with my little girl once went there

great how more space has been created for the animals, totally different than before with all those little cages.

Many closed and many empty lofts and enclosures. Big letdown. We also found park maintenance far below par. Customer friendliness also left something to be desired. Had won tickets but due to error in site not showing on Sunday, had to buy tickets. And when showing free tickets we could receive money back through the artis or company where we had won tickets, understandable. But a day later, Artis let you know that you have to come again and that money back was not possible. Typically Amsterdam mentality, first say yes then do no.

Fortunately, the society where they had converted cards to BurgersZoo has a beautiful and well-kept zoo.

The Corona rules were totally ignored and supervised, not that I mind, but in a city like Amsterdam you can expect better.

Nice park. Beautiful monuments. Food is not good. In the restaurant I could not get a coke or orange juice. Only that dirty fermented bionade (or something). Unfortunately. Furthermore, nice zoo.

Very nice and nice zoo. You can see the animals well and gardens with flowers are nicely laid out

It is really pleasant to walk inside the zoo which, even if it is slightly outside the historic center, can also be reached on foot. Unfortunately, due to the summer opening hours, the park closes at 8 am and at 6 am the bar is already closed.

Wow what a beautiful park. Lots of animal species.
The beautiful old buildings and beautiful paths. Really recommended

Nice!! A bit longer for a day visit with a kid. Incredible elephants playing in the water!!!

Nice place in the middle of the city! Very nicely laid out, what beautiful plants

I loved this zoo. Small. expensive for one day pass. Loved the butterfly house. Lots of cool animals here. And they don't look super depressed like I've seen in other zoos...

Fantastic Zoo with lots of animals in good sized enclosures!

Visited the ARTIS Zoo whilst in Amsterdam for a Stag Do, on arrival your welcomed by friendly, helpful staff who explain the park layout, feeding times etc.

The animals have decent sized enclosures, are well maintained and kept clean.

Definitely worth a visit, not one to be missed!

It's Artis, what else can I say. Always a pleasure to visit

Beautiful relaionship with animals and intelligent use of space.

Cosy zoo, loved the Olifanten!
Rather expensive though at 24

Great for the children, also impressive for adults.

The animal enclosures are becoming larger and more animal-friendly. Well done Artis. Great for the whole family.

Beautiful zoo, but quite expensive. In comparison with other European zoos it's not the best, but probably the most expensive one. Otherwise it was a fantastic day, we enjoyed the zoo a lot. Animals were well taken care of

Become fantastic. You are right in the center of Amsterdam, but when you are there you certainly do not notice it.

Very nice! And very well trying to make improvements for the animals

Kids enjoyed it, the perfect (sunny) day out in A'dam with family. Relaxing indeed. Oh yes, there are some animals too ...

All most all wild animals and near by metro station

Wonderful to wander around. What I want to note is: I play with predators, e.g. often with a branch with the animals, which then start to play just like cats. Now I wonder whether this is also possible with other animals at a few moments of the day. Playing games from a distance with animals that enjoy it. E.g. by pressing a button, release a ball in the monkey enclosure, or allow a 'prey' to swing across a line with larger predators. It seems like a nice addition, especially for children, to be active with the animals and to get rid of boredom.

A beautiful zoo in the heart of Amsterdam. It's worth the visit. For young and old for fun and education

Very special how this zoo has always stayed with the times.

The sleep walk done, nice to stroll through the park in the dark, the app was a bit disappointing.

Always fun! We have been coming here for years. Enjoy every time

Compared to zoos I've seen before, this one was really sad. The animals look depressed and have tiny enclosures that offer no enjoyment. The children's playpark is bigger than the lion enclosure. I walked less than halfway round and left feeling very sad.

Very nice zoo. The enclosures seem quite small, but the animals look happy to be there

Extravagant zoo with strange animals in freedom with which you can take pictures and have fun! Cool and recommended place go there

Experience Amsterdam zoo on the middle of the city. Lots of animals. Great outdoor activities and lots of indoor exhibits. An adventurous underground cave where you can see the sea lions swim above you

Awesome Place with many interesting animals. Big plus is that some harmless animals can roam freely between the visitors

Excellent layout and the baby elephant playing in the water with his mum was a joy to watch

Great experience... lovely zoo...all the animals where in open enclosures instead of cages definitely 5*

Remains a beautiful zoo. A pity that there are fewer animal species than before. This is good for the space for the other animals. The building with the aquariums remains fun for me.

Nostalgia fun but that organic food and drink is disappointing

Truly a huge zoo, I would recommend to every family.

So insanely much to see! Loved the vultures and the aquarium!

Very well maintained and properly arranged.

Huge amount of animals with lot of variety, proper place to move around, on top of that cleanliness is outstanding and I would say credit goes to the staff for maintaining the hygiene.

Worth visiting with kids, and do not worry about small kids as there are strollers/small baby carts available to carry them.

Very nice zoo! Great selection of animals and shows. Expensive parking. Make sure you hand in your parking ticket at the main reception in order to get discounted parking.

The zoo isn't that big and the restaurants don't have much variety, but otherwise it was a very nice experience.

It is always nice to visit Artis. Parking fee is ridiculously high !!

Those animals are fantastic. Whoever you are young or old. I do think the animals deserve a bit more rest and pleasure. Finally they remain locked up.

Great day in Artis! Beautiful enclosures, great selection of animals and a lovely atmosphere! Fantastic family day out!

If the weather is good it's an interesting half day out.

I enjoyed my visit to Artis in Amsterdam.
I love the place itself. It doesn't smell and that's a thumbs up. I also love the spacetrip a lot. I will definitely visit again.

Nice zoo in the middle of Amsterdam. Highly recommended to go. Certainly suitable for entire families.

Artis is a very large and extensive zoo.

There are many different animals that can be found in appropriate enclosures.

The price for a visit to the zoo is relatively high.

Well worth the visit. Perfect for a family outing whilst in Amsterdam.

Amazing place to be with kids or just stroll around

Very outdated zoo really needs something to be done

A zoo in downtown Casi with a lot to see.

We are delighted by it and its different spaces.

The zoo is clean and the conditions for the animals seem good, although the spaces are a bit limited for some species I found.

We loved the butterfly space!

By cons it is downright abused to charge the card 2 !!! Opposite the entry price !!!

Very educational day in Artis. My highlights: The edible gardens & flowers, lots of greenery, fresh tea that you can cut and drink yourself, the butterfly garden and Microbia. It was a beautiful day!

Had a nice day here, everything is very neat and clean. The accommodations for the large animals I found very small.

It is a zoo that is very well looked after, though the fortune would be to have no prisoners!

Beautiful zoo with lots of cool animals. They have large mammals, birds, reptile and bug houses, an aquarium, and a microbe zoo next to theain zoo. The animals all looked healthy and I was able to see almost all of them. The indoor jungle habitat that you can walk though was very cool, it's has lots of tiny monkeys climbing around you. Also I got to see someone feed the owls.
