Natura Artis Magistra Review

Very nice garden with many improvements.
Just a pity that no account is taken of smokers by means of a general smoking ban (was to categorize corners as a smoking area that would not bother anyone.
Have seen a lot of grumpy parents walking their child snarling at nothing XD
Also do not understand why it is always the smoker who has to take into account another instead of a little the other way around.
You won't see me again soon.

Every time there is something to discover or see. Driven volunteers and busy with new stays and more space.

Good place to bring kids.We had a great experience.I would be must recommend for everyone to visit

Something for all ages & a must do whilst in Amsterdam! Beautiful zoo with wonderful grounds and lots of animals.

Quite place where you can drink and eat. Some wildlife to make your day more interesting.

Beautiful zoo. He misses the tigers. Very clean. However no translation into French. And shop oriented children.

It will take you 5-8 hours to see all of it . Plan you day well.

Saturday evenings during summer are great with the extended hours and music in the park!

Even though it is quite small in terms of surface area, the layout and appearance make it seem huge. It exudes atmosphere but also freedom for the animals.

It is a pity that many buildings are closed due to the Covid19 period. You also have to pay attention to how you want to walk because of one-way paths. You cannot go back! Parking ticket 15.00 is very expensive.

The animals are locked in very small spaces when they are not outdoors, and obviously a giraffe or an elephant will not go outside when they are in a climate where it is 5 degrees. It is a pity that there are still people who pay to visit a prison and that they take their children and teach them these values

Beautiful zoo but what is this organization doing terribly with its season ticket holders. Verification codes required for registration on My Artis are not being sent, despite multiple attempts. When you call Artis for information, the connection is automatically disconnected after waiting for 6 minutes. Strangely enough, an employee is immediately available if they can sell event space.

Good to know where you stand at Artis as a subscription holder. You lost me.

In the middle of Amsterdam, a beautiful city zoo. Bit by bit Artis is refurbished and that is very beautiful! And fine for the animals.

never annoying, wildlife animals always an experience, never bored, on the other hand a pity that all that beautiful lives locked up but ....... well

Animals here are really good. A great place to visit the whole family for a day.

Very nice animal park super .... cozy, had a great day.

You don't have to walk as much as e.g. in Emmen to see everything.

Nice old zoo. Particularly in the middle of the city.

Been to artis with the savings campaign of the Dekamarkt. It was a very nice day, very warm. The animals were all clearly visible through the beautiful weather. Also nice, the new elephant stay. The elephants were swimming wonderfully. Super fun to see them so busy. They also ate delicious ice cream, because of the weather, they are standing outside of a scoop cart. Was delicious. All in all a super recommendation. Children had great fun and therefore we as parents too.

A lovely zoo in scenic surroundings with plenty of different animals to see. With many of the enclosures you can get quite close to the animals (no touching though - obviously!) and in some areas you can actually walk through the enclosure - there's a jungle habitat that has several Pygmy Marmosets who come right down the trees - very up close and personal!
If you're a visitor to Amsterdam and have purchased an 'I Amsterdam Card' your visit to the zoo will be free. Overall, a lovely way to spend a few hours during an afternoon.

Nice zoo, which seems to get more beautiful every year. Not only for the visitors but also for the animals. Now a very nice bed for the wally bie's where you can "just" walk between.
The butterfly greenhouse was again very beautiful. Many flowers and beautiful butterflies.

Has changed a lot in recent years in a positive way. Little choice of food, no more coke or fanta and children were disappointed. I can only applaud that there are no more PET bottles, but cola, fanta or sprite on tap is also possible and was not there.

Nice park, always on the move new work is being done for the animals. Parking is nearby and the price is right. There are carts available for the children so that they do not have to walk long stretches. In the reptile you literally walk among the animals.

Many different animal species, fun for the kids. Only some animals have too little space! Just take the lions' place to stay .. Those poor animals can only walk back and forth a bit .. This is really impossible!

Always fun. Are we looking at the animals, or are the animals looking at us?

Absolutely loved it great day lots of animal's to see

Who does not know ARTIS ... Top education and zoo ..

Evening walk through Artis. A unique experience where you hear extra sounds of the animals and almost no sounds of the city.

It remains a small zoo and that is why we have been looking after it after 3 years. The historic details remain beautiful, however, as well as the new stays of the elephants and the jaguars (I hope the lions follow soon, they are really tight). Negatives: the restaurant is only open until 5 pm and they have abolished the children's menu last summer. A strange choice.

animals are in far too small cages in burgerzoo or beekse bergen they have much more space.

Awesome zoo, had a great time, recommended for everyone!

Royal Zoo ARTIS Amsterdam, a natural oasis in the heart of the city: old trees, the aquarium, the planetarium and infinite animal species (more than 700). It takes at least half a day to shoot it all. TOP

Spectacular to say the least .... just to make you understand I'll put some photos

Children's party 2019! The weather was fantastic !!! Rain all day, but when this party starts even the gods cooperate !! What a great day again!

Well maintained zoo.. many many good spots.. loved the lion enclosure, alligator and monkeys

I doubt between 2 and 3 stars. It was packed. Came because the promotion of DekaMarkt were the last days that the savings card could be returned. Were very poorly supervised in the area for a parking space. Catering was quite a price.

Artis has become very beautiful. Stays are getting better, animals look happier and the park is beautifully green. Elephant Stay is one of the best I've seen (and I'm going to zoos around the world) Step by step they are getting better!

compliments

Great place to spend a day with the children. Right in the heart of Amsterdam.

This is a really nice zoo, with a lot of interaction with the animals. The animals are healthy and happy and the zoo itself feels like you've escaped the city. Take your kid here.

A very nice zoo. Enclosures are the most open and inviting I have experienced. It can be visited in a few hours.

If you are looking for a day long outing... This is the place I would recommend. Kids will enjoy the place thoroughly

Nice place nice zoo and the animals looks healthy really good job guys

The microbiology museum is really cool and one of a kind. Would recommend for everyone to visit

We come here very often, because we have a subscription. The animals always fascinate you and there are always beautiful flowers everywhere.

Remains special zoo.
Actually big city park with animals.

Artis itself remains fun, and sometimes innovations help.
But what a laugh, 2.10 for 1 scoop of ice cream or 3.95 for 2 and not even filled the container with 2 scoops ...

Hadn't been there in years
Have it lasted 4 hours
Was fantastic again

super zoo! certainly with the expansion of the elephant enclosure

Beautiful zoo, you can get quite close to the animals and their enclosures are big and airy

Animals are not always happy, I think. Does not care, it seems okay

Very beautiful place and a must see if you are in Amsterdam (especially if you purchase the Amsterdam City Card which grants you free entrance to the Artis Zoo)

Totally recommended if you like animals :)

A beautiful zoo you feel closer to live than in the country.
There are special places that you actually go between animals like little monkeys and a few reptiles.
Recommend to go but prepare yourself This is a huge place and a lot to go and the truth is also confusing in its construction.
But go have a great time and pass the time.
Suitable for couples and friends alike.

The large noodle soup with shrimp is recommended
Fine restaurant

I came for the burger but the zoo exceeded my expectations! A pleasant suprise! The chips were a bit overcooked.

This zoo doesn t fit in the modern city that Amsterdam pretends to be. The animals have literally zero space to walk around!!! This is not a place for lions and elephants, it all feels like I m in a circus in the 1900 s.

Different animal species can be seen during a relatively quiet evening opening.

Only 3 Euros if you are a UvA student!
Remember to bring your proof of enrollment with you!

Having annual tickets means we come often to Artis. It's just big enough for a day visit, or for a couple of hours to visit a few attractions. The improvements to the enclosures are good to see and the focus on learning for kids is highly entertaining for young and old. A great day for kids in Amsterdam.

I really like this zoo. Compared to domestic zoos, few animals are not irritated or panicked. The animals are well cared for and the spirit is more abundant.

Amazing zoo, you get really close to the animals. Do not miss this zoo if you are close to Amsterdam. Great place to spend the day.

Artis is a great place in several respects. It is a wonderful city park where even very small children can stroll safely, without bicycles, scooters and other iron mobile entertainment. It is an educational garden full of animals for all ages. And it is a wonderful collection of special buildings, each with its own story and history. Go there sometime!

Was a great day, the zoo is big enough for The city and great variety of animals to see.

Many animals have the space and are very active. Especially the elephants are very nice.

Zoo in the center of Amsterdam. Many animals inserted in habitats. Monkeys and birds in freedom. The part of the aquarium is also beautiful.

I would definitely visit again. Outdoor zoo was awesome and there was an aquarium and reptile house. 23 euros for entrance and staff were friendly.

The zoo is large and beautiful ... next to it you can visit the museum of microbiology which I highly recommend ...

When I walk there I immediately have flashbacks to my childhood. It is and remains a special place, such a zoo 'in the middle' of Amsterdam. It is all well cared for and the staff are very friendly.

It was very cool and I saw a lot. I did it with my school

Always interesting
New born animals and different every day

Nice zoo many animals for a small animal park but it remains beautiful in the center of Amsterdam

Nice zoo. Much attention to creating a natural environment for the animals. Moreover, interesting stories about the history of the garden.

Pretty Amazing zoo...sooo much to see and visit it takes hours but there's restaurant inside and there's a nice setting

After not having been here for about 6 years it was a nice experience to see that the park has been considerably renovated. Five stars certainly apply.
