Ouwehands Zoo Foundation Reviews

What a luck we had. Four free tickets! But what a bustle. I got the impression that the Netherlands had free tickets. We had to wait more than half an hour for the Sea Lions show. With someone who has difficulty walking, no good plan. Not really special. Pandas slept. Lions slept. All slept . For small children nice playgrounds. I was alone with 16 and 20 years out and who honestly said no .... to.

The zoo was very beautiful but unfortunately the visitors do not adhere to the corona rules. There should be more supervision on this.

Everything was good, but catering was very expensive

Leuke dierentuin waar je je wel een dag kan vermaken. Zeker met de speeltuin erbij is het een prima uitje met kinderen.
Wel is de zitruimte in verschillende ruimtes, waaronder de speeltuin, wat beperkt.

Mooi en leuk dierenpark. Het is alleen niet groot, binnen 3 tot 4 uur heb je alles wel gezien.

Corona maatregelen zijn goed en duidelijk weergegeven in het park. Alleen vinden sommige bezoekers het moeilijk om zich hier aan te houden. Het is te druk bij de pandaberen en er is geen personeel aanwezig daar om de drukte te verspreiden (zoals op andere punten wel).

Parkeerkaart is wat aan de prijzige kant. Deze moet je afhalen in het restaurant tegenover de ingang (?). Beetje een rare keuze om dat daar te doen. Lange wachtrij met mensen die met name eten komen bestellen. Terwijl naast de ingang een souveniershop zit waar praktisch niemand komt. Persoonlijk zou ik daar het verkoop van de parkeerkaarten heen verhuizen, wellicht kan je dan sommige bezoekers nog verleiden tot een aankoop van een souveniertje.

Mooi park vriendelijk personeel en leuk vertier voor de kinderen

Cold evening with heart-warming Chinese illuminated images.

Beautiful animal park but food and drinks are expensive

Beautiful animal garden with the panda 's top attraction

Not much to see, except for a very empty wallet unfortunately

Nice park, clean and beautiful. However, it is a bit small for the entrance fees paid. PS the following is something that I dislike: heavily commercialized part of the park (the part with the loan pandas) where you do not have to go through a store with your family.

Nice and quiet. Had a great time. We could see the animals well. Too bad the aquarium is closed.

The animal shelters could use some work, but regardless it's a great family- and child friendly zoo.

A really nice animal park it has also changed a lot over the years

Beautiful zoo, especially the pandas! After 4 hours we were exhausted, luckily we had free tickets. Two downsides: the unclear signage and the salesmen of the Bankgiroloterij at the beginning.

I went to the birthday of the pandas. We could not see it even though we were early because the entire view was covered by 7 photographers of the park. Great event if only the employees can enjoy it.

Wonderful zoo. When it rains we go inside when it is dry outside. Animals are well cared for and have space.

very nice zoo where a lot is renewed. very nice for a day out with or without children.

Nice park with extensive collection. And the panda bears are of course fantastic!

Beautiful zoo, lots of animals to see, also some special animals, such as white tigers, panda, gorilla. Spacious enclosures, especially for the bears. Nice day out for everyone, also accessible for disabled people.

Lots to see, the animals have nice stays. The bear forest with its stories is impressive.

Nice park, just a pity that half of the park was occupied by a wedding, so things were closed! You pay for an entire park, but you cannot enter everywhere! That was a pity

Nice zoo with a lot of attention for the animals. The bear forest and the gorilla residence are beautiful. The jellyfish are funny and the primeval utters are endearing.
The panda bear stay is great, with lots of merchandise.

Whilst the park is nice, it is silly they charge 7(!) for parking

Very nice zoo but was sorry that you had to pay to park your car in a Mud field. All our shoes were dirty and the buggie too

Beautiful park for young and old. No great distances to walk, delicious food, very well maintained. I am going back with my family more often.

Modern zoo where you can watch animals at the entrance, without paying. It is spacious and has nice shows such as with the seals. The bear / wolf forest is set up nicely but you don't see much. The combination of a slide when viewing gorillas is very fun for the children. There is a huge playground for children indoors for both young and old. Too bad you have to pay separately for a number of attractions for children.

An outdated animal park with new additions. The pandas were a lot of fun but there was a lot of focus on them while there are many other nice animals. The bear forest is certainly also a very beautiful part of the park and very nice that these are rescued animals.
Furthermore, there were small claw otters on the homepage .. but unfortunately they weren't there.

Very beautiful to wander around and look at the animals. Especially the Panda Bears. Very well maintained. Absolutely a full day's worth. Dogs are allowed.

Niet een heel grote dierentuin, wel een mooie.
Helaas wordt er nauwelijks rekening gehouden met Corona. Op papier goede maatregelen, maar in de praktijk niet, of houdt men er zich niet aan.
Grote drukte, ondanks de tijdsloten (die alleen voor registratie lijken te dienen).De rij voor aankomst begon al om de hoek bij het afgeladen volle parkeerterrein.
Als je zelf goed je best doet om de anderhalve meter te houden, zorgt het gedrag van de massa er wel voor dat dit je meestal niet lukt.
Dierentuin, u heeft hier ook net zoals de bezoekers zelf ook een verantwoordelijkheid. Te grote massa s zorgen wel voor inkomsten, maar ook voor onwenselijke situaties in deze tijd.

Spreiding over het park (i.p.v. grote groepen over een vaste route laten lopen) werkt wellicht toch beter.

Super fun, also recommended if you are with small children! And they have taken Corona into account.

Much to see, only a lot of animals slept and we were within 2 hours through it. The price does not relate to the quality for adults. For children to do more.

Ouwehands remains a nice day out. We enjoyed it again.

Relax in the green. Nice place for humans and animals

Beautifully laid out zoo with a nice variety of animals. Unfortunately not ideal for people with a wheelchair.

Very nice zoo, nicely set up and plenty of space for the animals. There are also many different types of animals, and the new sea lion show is well worth a visit. Definitely worth a visit.

Small animal park, Nice with young children. Animals have little space, 2 storks in a cage where they can hardly fly. Monkeys with nice climbing equipment but in a concrete environment. This is outdated.

As a park ok, but not as a zoo. Few kinds of different animals. Expensive catering. And what is the purpose of music in the park ????? The pandas are really super boring.

The place is beautiful. Lots of detailsnto enjoy. Two things disappointed me. The white lion is extremely skinny! And the Chinese Lights shows asted exactly 5 minutes each. For the price of that ticket solely, I expected at least, a 15 min show

Nice zoo, but some aging in some parts of the park.

Beautiful zoo with lots of activities for the kids, parking is a drama however you can have an SUV and that for 7 euros parking fee

Beautiful things to see especially the renovated lodgings are beautiful. But for example the aquariums are very small and poorly maintained.

A nice zoo, large enclosures for the animals and always changing and adapting

Really a very nice animal park, certainly worth it with the 2 giant pandas

Het blijft een mooi en veelzijdig park
Jammer dat er op veel plaatsen tegelijk verbouwingswerkzaamheden plaatsvonden.

Many catering establishments are closed during the week. Wedding party in Panda restaurant?

A nice animal park with love for the animals. Pandasia is really super.

Beautiful zoo with the absolute attraction the panda bears

How disappointed this was. 1.5 meters away is not taken into account at all, much too busy in the park despite the time slots. Besides that, the route is very unclear and I think the park is poorly maintained.

Beautiful, spacious and well maintained park with Pandasia as a showpiece! Well worth it!

After a decade or so, I finally went to Ouwehands zoo again. Still remains a very nice place. The new sea lion show was only a bit disappointing.

Very nice zoo. But in 3 to 4 hours you are through the zoo, the price is a bit high.

Very nice and extensive animal park. What is also nice that you can take the dog with you. The animal park has an extensive Bear Forest, the monkey house is also very spacious, there is plenty of opportunity for children to play and they have dressed it up nicely. Only the polar bears I personally did not look good, but I am not an expert and maybe it is fine. Oh and we saw the meerkats well. I have not seen them in any animal park, but here!

Much too busy, disorganized bad signage, nowhere on the toilet no disinfection for the hands. Nothing was taken care of when it was busy. Parking lot 4 people did not know what they were doing cars, sometimes too close together so that you could hardly drive away.

Super nice and beautiful zoo. The pandas are also really worthwhile.

Really great. Nice zoo also super nice location. Parking place is a short walk but is not so bad. To eat something you also have to walk or wait a little longer. The food quality is OK. All animals have a large living space. If you are there, definitely go to the Pandas. It is a bit of a walk to go to other animals, but once you get there it is also nice to see the animals.

Ik vond het bij de panda.s mooi de rest vond ik het een verwaarloosde dierentuin ik snap dat in deze corana tijd je beesten goed eten wil blijven eten maar ik vond het vies vooral bij de ijsberen en al die grachten om de beesten heen vies groen en dat is het duurste toch niet jammer dat alles om de panda draait ik zou de dierentuin niet aanraden bab bah zonde van je geld

I enjoyed seeing the pandas. The sea lion show was great too. The disadvantage was that the walking route was not always clear

Nice zoo, we were here several times, but this day was special because of China light exhibition. This was a really special evening with very nice exposition of chinese light art and some performances.

Good park somewhere for lunch might be a while because the staff is understaffed (which nowadays anywhere that way). One at the box office and the other makes the food. So it takes a long time in the queue and long before everything is ready. You soon lose an hour, so if you want to see a show keep in mind there.

Very nice animal park. It looked like it had recently been renovated. Nice layout so you do not have to walk much. Child friendly with many playgrounds with sand and water.

Very complete zoo. Most animals are there and in many cases you can be close. Opportunities to be indoors in bad weather. Beautiful large indoor playground for the children. Shows, snacks and drinks. Friendly staff. They are working hard on new stays. Clearly a lot of attention for the welfare of the animals! We have had a subscription for two years, our children love it!

Had a nice day with the family. Certainly nice if you have free tickets from a lottery

Had a nice day here. Good weather, nice that you could see all the animals well!
