Catering is not the best 20 min wait for a hamburger. The terrace was cleared by someone throwing the one-meter aluminum chairs at the table. Slightly outdated buildings but they are renovating. There are few play areas for children, but a clean park
educational and fun location for an outing or day out
Beautifully walkable and yet many animals, definitely recommended.
Fantastic quality zoo
Such variety
Informative and friendly staff
good solid zoo :> coverable within a single day. has enough toilets.
This place is great for everybody. A must visit. The kids will love it as will adults. It big and you can see everything easily. You can spend as lot of time here. Places to eat and drink and picnic if you want. They have maps to help you get around. It is easy to reach on the tram.
It spreads over a very large area, with many specimens, very interesting greenhouses. It's worth visiting
Nice zoo layout. Pretty much all the signs have English. A good place to visit on a nice day.
Old zoo very nicely laid out. Animals are only in small cages and the zoo is more focused on the commercial side than on the animal welfare side.
Currently overpriced. Very much closed. Following a route works until the first food stall. Then figure it out
good buy tickets online, good place go there early in the morning
Very large zoo in the heart of the city. Really friendly staff. Free entrance with iAmsterdam-card. Great place to visit! Near public transport. Amazing aquarium!
Incredibly beautiful. A gem, a journey through the diversity of our world, a paradise in the middle of a vibrant city.
Thanks for this moment!
Nice zoo, just sad that the animals have very little space here compared to other zoos.
Great place to visit so many different animals. Good bar too.
One of Europe's oldest zoos. Just open: new designed cage for two jaguars. Recent births of elephant and giraffe. Recommended attraction is the butterfly garden.
A really nice zoo where you can get really close, without fences, with some of the animals. It was a very pleasant experience.
Huge zoo with wide range of animals. Very interesting
A really great Zoo. Previously been to Edinburgh and Chester in the UK, this is up there.
On my third visit to Amsterdam, on the advice of friends who had previously been there, I paid a visit to this zoo in the park of Amsterdam, and what to say! Amazing! As soon as you enter you are immersed in the greenery, with birds of all kinds in total freedom that flutters over your heads as you turn the different animals from all over the world through the host buildings! The most appreciated thing from my point of view was the area of the monkeys, in total freedom and you can walk among them! While I was walking passing under a branch for example there was one hanging above me that was eating a bite! area of the butterflies, also in total freedom within this pavilion which reproduces their climate then, is a riot of colors and varieties absolutely to be admired! the aquatic part is less complete, but for the rest there is everything and every animal has its right freedom and companionship! to see if you visit Amsterdam!
I visited this zoo coming from Australia and it has to be one of the worst zoos I've seen.
The enclosures are very small, especially for animals who need large spaces to roam, the environments in the exhibits were unsuited for most of the animals, from the flora to the substrate.
Animals from completely different environments and which would have different needs were also housed together which I have never seen in a zoo before.
Some animals were also showing signs of stress and boredom such as pacing back and forth.
ARTIS has very beautiful grounds but it is clear that they do not actually care for the animal's wellbeing.
Artis is great very nice animals. Annoying morrakan children though.
Great modern zoo - it doesn't feel depressing like many urban zoos feel
Artis .. Is nice ... But I missed a lot of animals .. You didn't see them
Not a bad zoo, but for some reason they did not see many animals (either they were hiding, or they were not (
Very nice and big zoo.
A visit is definitely worthwhile.
Magnificent! Well worth it. Fortunately there are also many benches. In my opinion there may be more toilets. Had a nice visit!
Of course it remains a magical zoo. Nice renovation done.
Great zoo with many animals. Very varied park design. Very entertaining.
Animals are nice and well cared. Very interactive with visitors.
Remains beautiful. Please note that there is a general smoking ban
Remains pathetic. The big trapped animals. Nothing is needed anymore at this time
Nice zoo with good parking. The entrance costs are high but certainly worth it with discount promotions.
Love Artis zoo! One of our favourite zoos we have visited before. We came back here for the 2nd time (our last visit was 6 years ago) It's changed quite a bit with new areas and better quality exhibits for some of the animals. There's still work being done to improve all the time so will be good to come back again in another few years.
The children give the mark 9.9. And a 10 a great score.
Fantastic beautiful park and beautiful animals
In beautiful stays! Enjoyed!
Beautiful zoo. A lot of varieties of species. Very large. Very well maintained. Various bench to relax. I loved. I recommand it!
I've seen a few zoos but this is special.
In many areas there are few or no barriers, you are literally walking through animal enclosures.
The personnel is very helpful, ask about anything if you're curious!
And the butterfly room... It's like being in a fairytale.
Couldn't recommend this place enough, it's most definitely worth your money.
It was a good afternoon, although very expensive. Some of the animals had very small enclosures.
super cute beautiful animals but the plan and the signage is poor
quite outdated, we have experienced it as very wheelchair unfriendly. Still fun!
Went here for the Children's Beast Party To give sick children and their brothers / sisters a GREAT day. And all this in collaboration with all emergency services and Artis I hope all participants have enjoyed it
To properly visit Artis you need a whole day! Book that in your planner and you will not be sorry! We were misled by information in a booklet and lost a hour in planned visit to Artis, so had to hurry to see most animals and attractions . It was worth it!
One of the best ZOOs we ever visited!
Very beautifull! It is really big as Zoo the honest entrance ticket the only one is that Micropia museum is not included with it, as far as the Zoo is concerned it is also possible to play with the monkeys that are around, it is so big that you will surely lose a whole day but it will be well spent!
Great place to come with children. Very well tended animals and lots of baby animals as well.
Really amazing zoo. Very big and well organized. Right way to spend 2-3 hours. Children had much fun. Many place where to eat inside and around the zoo. A must see in Amsterdam.
The new enclosures of elephants and jacquars have been beautifully constructed. The old building where the aquarium is housed, still in its original state. Small mammals a lot of indoor space. I used to get depressed from a day at the zoo because I found that the animals were kept in far too small pens, in this respect much has changed for the better for the animals and not only at Artis Zoo.
Really sad to see animals in tiny cages for our viewing pleasure
We visited only for the elephants, got to the elephant enclosure and it was empty. Then went to the elephant indoor enclosure where 2 adults and a baby where in a small cage. One of the adults looked like she was dancing moving her feet side to side and this is due to stress. We waited around for the elephant talk at 1.45 and no one turned up. Didn't see many staff at all around the whole zoo.
The best parts where the aquarium and the reptile house where you could sit inside and keep warm.
There was also a school trip where the teacher sat 20 or so children infront of enclosures to draw pictures so couldn't see much anyway.
Planning for a family time this the right place in Amsterdam.....lot to learn for the kids. Need at least a day.
An excellent animal gem contains lots of types of animals and much more than expected including tiger lions elephants giraffes seals fish and all aquatic creatures and more and more. Take 4 to 5 hours. Equip yourself with water and food and enjoy.
You can not call that a zoo. Small spaces for the animals. They exhibit boredom behavior. Downright bad. Only the aquarium is beautiful.
Relaxed zoo with open style enclosures for personal viewing. A good selection of animals from big cats, various monkeys, to noisy seals with underwater viewing. Worth a visit if your bored 23euro entry.
It is a nicely done ZOO. Although I enjoyed the one in Copenhagen best for its proximity to the animals this has a better variety of and some good activities for children. The area where they have the aquarium is quite nice as well. But there were lots of areas that were empty. I suppose they are expending. It is a nice place to spend the afternoon with family if the weather is nice.
Very beautifully landscaped garden. Friendly for families. Different enchantments for children. Very many different animals. The most beautiful zoo so far. I recommend.
Fabulous variety of animals, well cared for and everything very nice
An extensive zoo with a great variety of animals. Also includes an aquarium and planetarium. There are a couple of cafes on-site or near by. Wander for a couple of hours. Eat. And then wander some more. Can easily fill a day. Great place for kids. I docked one star because the penguins (even with their very cute condos, accentuating their life-time monogamy) really need fresher and more water. Other than that, the animals seemed well-cared for and happy.
We did not go to see her, I was in the pass ... But it's definitely great
We have been a member for over 60 years. We come here every year. Sometimes once, but more often, if the weather permits. Park is becoming more animal-friendly every day. Recommended if you visit on Amsterdam.
A really great zoo. Of course the space for the lions is not abundant, but you cannot give 5 hectares to every animal. But I think the zoo tries to give every animal a nice "home". The bird house and butterfly house are really good because all animals move freely. The elephants also have it beautiful. If you look at everything, you are well and happy to be on the road for 3-4 hours. The price of 21.50 is quite justifiable if you ask me. A lot is offered. We really liked it. I can only recommend it.
I felt very good, and it was something special for me that I had the opportunity to see in such a short time such a great diversity of animals! I highly recommend ...
Wonderful zoo in Amsterdam with various animals from insects to big animals. Must visit.
Find the enclosures rather small compared to wildlands, quite pathetic for the animals
Nice zoo and exhibitions. Must go to the micropia building if you have the time
