Uilen- en dierenpark De Paay Reviews

Small-scale zoo, for a small price only online, the price was lower than the local one had to pay. (Corona increase ??)

Beautiful and well-kept animal shelters, very nice for children

Nice park for 2 hours of entertainment! Still good old fashioned cheap and free parking. Recommended!

Surprising animal park with various animals that I have not yet encountered elsewhere. Many young animals too. Adult admission is 7. Of those 7, a lot of animals have to be fed.

Nice bird park. Owner does his best to make it look nice. Don't expect a commercial park, but a backyard that got out of hand. Certainly worth a short visit.

Uilenpark de Paay is a nice small park with many different animals

There is a piece with owls, a piece with a different bird and a piece with a marten-like

This park is especially nice if you really want to get away from it all and are completely done with it ... note that good walking / hiking shoes are a must you may have to go through the mud a few times but that should not matter when it is dry.

Many different animals which makes it fun for children. Still, there is something bitter about the amount of different animals on such a small piece of land. Many animals were cuddly and did not all seem equally satisfied with the small spaces. Maintenance also leaves something to be desired: the cages have been there for a while, water troughs are not clean and they all wanted to eat out of your hand. Not recommended for animal lovers.

Was enjoying all the young animals !. And they are busy renovating the park. Was a successful visit again!

Nice park to go with the children
Very educational

It was a muddy and expired intention. Paths were very bumpy when they were paved. The animals made a desolate impression, and some seemed a bit neurotic.

Super fun to come here. You see the animals up close, you can feed them yourself and it is very green.

Small-scale park with a lot of special unique species that you don't see everywhere. My biggest drawback was the lack of signs (with the exact animal species) and the signs that were damaged. Also nice park!

It's a nice little animal park with nice types of nice staff

Very nice mini zoo. Owls, otters, camels, goats, rabbits, kangaroos, guinea pigs, various birds, monkeys, squirrels, foxes and more. Very nice to see. It is in a wooded area so nice environment for all animals. Some animals run free so you can pet. There is also a lyncks, but unfortunately we have not seen. We will definitely go back again.

A little dirty and a bit overdue maintenance, a scary dog that runs loose and dead animals are fed to the owls everywhere in the enclosures. We didn't think it was that great, but for the real owl lover it might be a nice park.

everyone has to go there once It is very beautiful and good work is being done for the animals

Had a great afternoon in this small-scale park.
A lot of love put into it by the owner, we had it great.
I'd rather go to this kind of thing than a big zoo.

Small, authentic and unique.

De Paai is a small-scale Owls and Animal Park on the river Linge in the Betuwe. We came here by chance during a Linge bike ride. It was a very pleasant break. Something different than a cup of coffee on a terrace. That was also possible with the Paai, but do not expect too much. The animal park is located between Beesd and Rhenoy and is opened to the public by a private and great lover of owls. There were also many species of owls to admire.

Small zoo with a lot of owls, but nice to go to once

Very nice animal park hidden on the edge of Beesd. Totally not commercial and you literally walk between the animals. I was here on a sunny day in February and paid 7.50 per person. There is not a lot of parking space, but the park is not big either. That is fun! There is enough to see for 2 to 3 hours. You can interact with the animals here. Be careful with your fingers!

Very nice not too big and beautiful enough this was my second time and it is fun

The animal density per m2 is huge. We have seen more animals in the hour and a half that we were here than in the 2 days that we were in Ouwehands.

Many owls, birds, monkeys, squirrels, ducks, kangaroo and other animals are housed here.

The lofts are furnished in an old-fashioned way, so that the animals can be viewed optimally. No owl was alone, all beasts looked super good and were allowed to see various very special specimens.

In the summer this park seems even better to me, and think about going here again.

We loved this little zoo. Very reasonable entry fee. Interesting variety of animals and quite informal.

I used to come here a lot, then I really enjoyed it. These days it looks rather neglected. The animals are pathetic in small boxes.

In itself a nice park, just in need of renovation. Have seen many different animals, which they do not have in other parks. What I really like is that the animals have a lot of freedom, and that they can also climb trees. In terms of price, it is also very doable, the entrance is 7 p.p. over 10 years for children aged 3 to 9 it is 6 p.p. and children up to 2 can enter for free. I only recommend to go if it is a bit warmer because with -5 it is not really nice.

A nice zoo where our children and we, until recently, always went with great pleasure, because it is so affordable and close by. Of course you should not expect all animals from a large zoo for the price, but there are (see photos for sure) many and fun animals. It is a pity that sometimes the lofts are not as clean as you would like. It is a great pity that live bait is sometimes fed in this zoo, against the rules!

What a nice animal park! Yes, it is not very big, but with many special animals. The Uilenbos is especially nice.
Recommended!

Very nice park with various animals, somewhat amateurish but that has its charm!

Very nice park! Animals are well taken care of and the park is neat. It is not that big but just big enough for when you go there with kids.

The children really liked it and so did I. Not a perfectly raked animal park but more natural and cheaper.
Too bad there are no annual passes.

Super! Educational for children. Very accessible, birds and animals very close. Well worth it.

Nice set up small animal park
just a pity that not all accommodations contain information about the animals

Awesome.
I wish I had discovered it sooner.
Very cheap. Good for families on a small budget.

Nice collection of owls, I find less furnishing / care of the park. The Guinea pigs are of course fun for children. Mooring place for boats on the Linge to visit park de Paay is nowhere to be found.

Nice, compact animal park with animals that you will not see anywhere else.

Fine animal park all messier they have much less budget than the other large animal parks but a lot of exotic animals

Nice animal park. Many animals. Some overdue maintenance but that does not bother those animals. Good to spend 2 hours.

Funny park, with an hour and a half you can get through it.

Nice little animal park with special animals. Quiet, doable in corona time.

super nice and beautiful small animal park where you can see that the animals are worked with a lot of love, the employees are also very customer friendly and I like how this park has so many special yet small animals. especially recommended for young and old everyone is welcome and everything in the park is fun, keep it up

Nice animals, and nice design, could use some maintenance in some lofts, so visitors quickly sponsor

Animal cages are very small and not well maintained.

Nice small animal park. Specialized in owls but also have other birds and animals. The most beautiful pictures of owls made. In winter you can only drink nothing. It is also nice and quiet away from mass tourism. As a tip you can enjoy a delicious drink or lunch at Heerlijkheid Marienwaard. You will visit one to two hours approximately

Today I went to Uilen-Dierenpark de Paay, really nice! The animals can be approached very closely. We thought it was a super nice park! It is not big, but enough to see.
Ingrid van Ark.

Very nice animal park. The hamster garden was fun for the kids, cozy and beautifully landscaped. Together with a drink on the Lingen good for a fun day.

It's not your standard zoo which makes it a different but very likeable experience.

Fantastic park to walk through. Always calm. Delicious!

Small but very beautiful! Wide variety of animals. Worth the effort.

Small-scale bird park with a surprisingly varied bird population.

Nice park, very nice for children. Not big but you can see all the animals well. Personally, I think the entrance fee of 7.50 EUR is a bit on the high side. Staff and trainees have a heart for the animals.

Little gem! Really an oasis of peace and nice that the children are allowed to feed the animals.

Nice little zoo, not expensive, something different from the big one ..... you can even pet a camel ...

Very beautiful animals
Nice how some take small paths to get somewhere else

Small but nice park. You can enjoy yourself here for a few hours.

Lots of overdue maintenance and a constant smell of rotten eggs.

Special small-scale animal park with all kinds of surprising animals.

What an amazing small zoo this is. You feel so much more in contact with the animals and this private run facility is always clean and animals are well looked after.

Very nice animal park where you can get very close to the animals.

Well many animals a pity that it is almost impassable because of the weeds and that the pens are dirty and poorly maintained. What I found worst was that the dog that walks around crawls with the animals and a good number of guinea pigs were sick. Also it seems to be run by two disinterested kids / teens.
Some lofts have rot fruit and you will be attacked by the flies.
Some large animals seem to have a relatively small enclosure compared to smaller animals that have a normal / large enclosure.
the mice are stamped in relatively small boxes, which gives a very bad / negative picture.
In itself it could be a nice park but, as it looks now, no longer a second visit for me.
Now first home to take a good shower.

This was my first time here. Was surprised how nice it was and how many different animals live here. Incredibly knys and nice park with nice owner. Have a nice morning. I will definitely come back sometime.

Nice but not super well cared for. Also called a bit of the charm :)

Very nice animal park. Many kinds of special animals. Also many species that you do not easily see in other zoos. Well maintained. The reptile house was closed the last time we were there, but you can also see nice types of reptiles here. Highly recommended!

Small, clever and cozy animal park with mainly birds and bird-like animals. Plenty of parking a short distance from the park. Maintenance is a bit overdue. For the price nice to spend a few hours with small (er) children!

Many fun and special animals! However, some lofts are very dated.

The price is a bit expensive, but an interesting animal park nonetheless. And a very nice park, especially if you have small children.

Nice animal park with quite a lot of animals on a small surface. You can see that more maintenance is required. Hopefully such a small zoo will survive in the corona period. You also miss a lot of information on the cages of the animals. Nice to see that many animals have been adopted.

Wonderful experience, direct contact with the animals. You really should have seen it!

Beautiful park with lots of beautiful animals in spacious lofts so all space for the animals.

A beautiful animal park, with many types of animals well worth looking around at ease, there are kangaroos, meerkats and different types of squirrels, discover the different corners, you have to do your best for it, do not walk quickly but search, it is more than a Park, but also many veel species

Nice animal park with many birds, ducks, owls and even camels and much more. Nice to visit with small children. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to go through. Pleasure must be taken from the animals and that was the case with us. Oh and the kangaroos are free to roam like many of the other animals. And the entrance fee is acceptable.

Nice to go back after so many years .. too bad that the lofts really need to be updated, and that it was a muddy mess.

A simple park, but therefore very accessible for grandmother and grandfather to spend a few hours with your grandchildren, mums and dads too of course.
Finally not such a commercial park where you spend a lot of extra money on everything and then besides the entrance fee.
Just watch animals and possibly cuddle and nothing else.
Of course you can buy an ice cream and drink a cup of coffee.
