    Apenheul is an insane place, we were two adults and had lots of fun! Lots of monkeys close to you! Some practicalities - Lockers need a 1€ coin, make sure to have one with you (The coin is returned at the end) - Parking has to be paid with card and the maximum is €9.30 a day - Even if you go with a backpack they will make you put your stuff in the park’s official bags (no charge) - We walked without a rush and the total time spent in the park (including Gorilla feeding presentation) was 3 hours - All paths in the park are possible for wheelchairs / trolleys 👌🏻 - There are services 🚾 in different points of the park so you can drink lots of water without that being an issue - We went with a bag with water, chips, sandwiches and since everything is so flat, carrying is not so bad 🧊 - We went from Amsterdam, going by public transportation was (roughly) 19€ per person each way so it was definitely worth to rent a car (in the end, payed like 75€ for mywheels) It’s a beautiful experience, recommended for everyone!

    If you arrive early (from 10 a.m to 2 p.m) the monkeys do absolutely nothing but sleep and chill. Food, drinks and souvenirs are very expensive. And a lot of the fun parts are closed for some reason.

    Amazing place, not only for kids but for adults too! You are really close to the monkeys and you see them jumping around the park. Before entering, you are advised to put your belongings inside a closed bag (they are free and with different sizes). You can walk around the whole park without any problem and there are services inside (restaurants, toilet, etc.)

    Beautiful zoo, with 35 species of monkeys, including gorillas, chimps, orang utans, bonobos, gibbons, but also sloths and cabibaras. Great park with surprising enclosures. Parking is a bit of a walk, but affordable (10 euro for a day) and the walk is through the park where the zoo is located in.

    A beautiful park to take the kids on a fun day out. The parking area is about 500 metres from the entrance, so be prepared for a little walk to start with, but the park is beautiful and there are fun signs along the way. The park itself is layed out with a lot of care. There are many areas where you can walk through parts where the monkeys roam freely and you can get really close to them. We loved the whole experience and the kids even more so. Another big positive point about this park is that the food options were limited but more healthy compared to other parks we visited whilst we were in Holland, this surprised us in a positive way, also because it tasted really good. Out of the 4 parks we visited in 5 days, we had the best lunch at this one. The staff were also really friendly, approachable and talkative, you don't encounter that everywhere you go, so another really positive point for this park.

    We really enjoyed this place a lot. Kids had a lot of fun. Besides finding monkeys walking freely around, there are also some playgrounds and interactive areas where children can have a lot of fun. Sadly due to corona some of the areas were restricted but it is understandable. Still, we spend quite sometime in this zoo. Just at the entrance you will find this huge and amazing playground. If you come with children, get the 5 euro children bag, it will make the visit even more fun. So bring you own food or enjoy at the available restaurants. After 4 pm you can buy freshly oven baked pizzas.

    Lovely park in a beautiful forest setting. The drive there is lovely as well, don't take the highway, take the N-numbered-routes! In the park many areas where monkeys just walk among the people. Don't need to plan for a whole day, doable in about 4 hours (cheaper tickets from 2:00pm available).

    Amazing all day experience. Very big park, most monkeys walking freely. The gorilla show is a must! Only downside is the limited eating facilities, besides krokets and hot dogs there is only fries if you get hungry even though it is really an all-day activity

  • 5/5 John M. 7 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Fantastic experience, get up close with all species of monkeys and plenty of activities, refreshments and fun for all. I was visiting Dutch parents and we all enjoyed the visit, a place for all ages.

    The monkeys are adorable but even on a quieter day there are an insane about of people. You can hardly move let alone easily see the animals.

    (Translated by Google) There was a lot of corona but was close. very nice. Because a monkey that came 1 meter away from you. Enjoyed a drink at a cafe. In the. at the beginning you have a nice free park where. water place is with waterfall and all. beautiful trees are a bit of America. something. (Original) Er was veel dicht door corona maar was. erg leuk. Want een aap die kwam op 1. meter van je af staan. Heb genoten nog even wat gedronken bij een café.

    I came to Apenheul in 2016 and it was incredible! I'd never experienced anything like it, getting to see some of the animals wonder freely, it was much more enjoyable than your typical Zoo where all the animals are locked up. There is so much to do here, you would never get bored! Even now, 4 years later I remember how amazing it was and can't wait to go back! The best part was at the end of the day, when the park got much quieter and a lot more animals came out of the woods. I even got to sit right next to a giant lemur! Thoroughly recommend.

    Overrated park. Tickets are expensive as what you get. This is not an open park, this a Zoo, only difference is there no barrier between you and monkeys except Orang gotan, Chimpanzee, Gorilla (they are kept in cage). The only monkey come close to you are Squirrel Monkeys. Rest all of other types are just running here and there. Be aware of certain things, the real entrance is approx 250 meters away from parking. The parking cost is €9.30. The toilet next to "fake" entrance is unbelievable, they take 50 cents even for kids (3 years). Inside the park there toilets which are free. They have specialized bags to protect your stuff from monkeys, which is also free. The employees there are friendly and supportive.

    Apenheul has stayed a very nice park over the years, still expanding and improving their quality. It's a really good atmosphere and the animals look healthy and happy. It's so fun and specially for kids that the monkeys can get so close to you or even touch you. It was also great to see the amount of staff on location which makes it feel safe & appropriate. Will definitely visit it again with my daughter

    I love this type of zoo where the animals can walk freely around around the tourists. The monkeys approach you and really get close. The nature in the park was really beautiful and I totally recommend visiting this place! And if you buy tickets in advance you barely have to wait at all

    Wir waren in den Ferien hier und waren absolut begeistert. Am Anfang waren wir nicht sicher,ob sich der Preis lohnt, mit Ruhrtopcard wäre es aber nur die Hälfte gewesen. Kaum angekommen, waren wir richtig begeistert. Man sieht so viele Affen und teilweise kommen sie richtig nah. Der Preis ist für die Art der Haltung,die Sauberkeit und die komplette Anlage definitiv wert. Auch die Parkgebühr ist schnell vergessen. Es gibt viele sehr schöne Spielplätze,unsere Kinder waren kaum davon wegzubekommen. Am Ende haben wir fast den ganzen Tag im Park verbracht und wissen bereits,wir kommen wieder!

    A great day out for all the family. Walk around the well marked route ( good access for wheelchair and people with walking disabilities), and mingle with the many free running monkeys (more than 30 different types to find). Make sure you find the time to visit the three shows ( all in Dutch, but the staff speak English and are willing to answer any questions). Unfortunately we found the food on offer at the restaurant! to be very expensive and not very nice ( when we visit again, we will take our own food with) large parking area, cost between €10 and €11. (bus stop on main road near to parking area)Approx 10 minutes walk from carpark to the entrance.

  • 4/5 Aga F. 8 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    There is a lot of walking, but the children have an incredible joy to see the monkeys so close. In the center of the zoo there is also a huge playground for children, where you can easily spend an extra hour. The best way to see many species of monkeys, which have been created in conditions close to natural. A place worth spending every euro.

  • 5/5 Yulia G. 8 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Very beautiful place, a lot of different kinds of monkeys walking around , there are few play grounds for children's on the way in the park, we enjoyed a lot.

  • 3/5 Oleksii R. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic park territory. Unfortunately, due to covid-19, the interaction with monkeys is forbidden. This kills all the fun. So, park gets 5*, playing with monkeys - 1*.

  • 5/5 Becky E. 4 years ago on Google
    Really interesting concept! Love the design and the exhibits. Merchandise is a little lacking though ? would recommend anyone in the area. Would probably say going earlier in the day is better, and going round the park backwards as it were. Monkey proof bags are a good idea. Was just a little concerned at the number of people, though I have since been told the staff regularly consider and restructure the staffing to accommodate the volume of tourists Vs primate stress etc.

  • 3/5 Hans J. 3 years ago on Google
    Erg jammer dat vanwege Corona alle veel leuke delen waarbij de apen rondlopen afgesloten zijn. Ik begrijp dat we de dieren moeten beschermen maar ik zou dan wel verwachten dat men ook iets met de toegangsprijs doet want de ervaring is wel heel anders. Verder hebben we een leuke dag gehad

  • 2/5 jacques H. 3 years ago on Google
    Het park is zeer leuk Alleen het moment dat er tijdsloten toegevoegd worden om zo de drukte en 1.5m in acht te kunnen houden met corona verwacht ik dan ook dat er minder mensen in het park komen echter was t bij binnenkomst al gelijk onmogelijk om 1.5m afstand te kunnen houden door de vele mensen die paden blokkeren en werknemers die hier niet iets aan doen(wat ik kan begrijpen omdat er steeds vaker agressief gereageerd wordt op medewerkers die gewoon hun werk doen) lijkt t mij als park zijnde wel logisch om minder mensen binnen te laten

  • 3/5 Joeri V. 3 years ago on Google
    De apen zullen altijd een leuke dag verzorgen. Ik vond het personeel te veel gericht op de 'echte' apen, de mensen waren behoorlijk geclusterd en van mij mag het personeel dit meer aansturen. De route was wel prettig weggezet.

  • 2/5 Tijmen 3 years ago on Google
    Op dit moment geen aanrader. Veel leuke looppaden zijn gesloten vanwege COVID19. Wij hebben de hoofdprijs betaald om in de ochtend toegang te krijgen maar dat was het niet waard. Personeel was heel vriendelijk daar lag het niet aan :).

  • 4/5 Marleen G. 3 years ago on Google
    Prachtig park. Duidelijke corona maatregelen. Niet te druk. Enige minpuntje was het flauwe commentaar bij de apenvoedershow. Echt de moeite waard om heen te gaan.

  • 3/5 Arjan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Leuk park maar gezien de huidige Corona tijd was het VEEL te druk. Mensen gingen vlak bij elkaar staan in de binnenverblijven, bij de terrasjes was het onmogelijk om 1.5 meter afstand te houden en er waren ook veel te weinig medewerkers om een oogje in het zeil te houden. Daarnaast waren er best veel interactieve spullen stuk. Dat had ik niet verwacht gezien de forse toegangsprijs.

  • 5/5 Alexandra L. 3 years ago on Google
    Covid-organised with effectively enforced one way system. (You aren't rushed through though). Parts of the zoo are closed but you still get plenty of close-quarter views of monkeys and primates and their antics, e.g. Ring-tailed lemurs around your feet! Lots of young animals. Great value - we were there from two o'clock right till closing time. All staff willing & able to speak English to a high level (thanks everyone!). Shop closed but small booth selling merchandise at exit. Good to be able to support a zoo in this way during what must be a very difficult season for them.

    Nergens op de website te vinden dat grote stukken afgesloten zijn en daardoor er weinig te zien is . Geen toezicht op de 1,5 meter regeling. Schandalig hoe druk het was soms, vooral in de binnen gedeelten. Hutje mutje op elkaar, dus we waren snel weer buiten helaas...Vieze wc's , volle prullenbakken. We hebben meer eettenten gezien dan dieren. Een meisje bij een van de eetgelegenheden stond alleen en niemand van haar collega's wilde haar helpen, want die waren liever binnen. Want het regende wat ? al met al een tegenvaller voor dat geld voor 5 mensen.

    (Translated by Google) Been an afternoon last week. Not too big, but you don't always have to, because it is quite a walk from the parking lot. We were sweet for 2.5 hours and really enjoyed it. You walk well and do not constantly have the sun on you because of enough shade (it was 32 degrees that day). Our daughter took part in a treasure hunt, very nice, but bring your own pen, because you will not get it was said when we walked back because we missed it. After all, you have to tick off and you will also receive a notebook ?. In any case, it is a nice environment for the monkeys and that's what it's all about! ? (Original) Vorige week een middag geweest. Niet al te groot, maar dat hoeft ook niet altijd, want het is nog best een stukje lopen vanaf de parkeerplaats. Wij waren 2,5 uur zoet en vonden het erg leuk. Je wandeld lekker en hebt niet constant de zon op je door genoeg schaduw (het was 32 graden die dag). Ons dochtertje deed mee met een speurtocht, erg leuk, maar wel zelf een pen meenemen, want die krijg je er niet bij werd gezegd toen wij terug liepen omdat wij deze miste. Je moet immers afvinken en je krijgt een notitieboekje mee ook ?. Voor de apen is het in elk geval een fijne omgeving en daar gaat het om! ?

    The only downside are the snackbars. Wrong orders, if you ask for a frikadel sandwich you get the frikadel and the bread separately and you gotta make the sandwich yourself (with dirty hands during Corona time), you are there but gotta make the orders online, etc. Besides that the park itself is amazing, worth spending the whole day and going back other times.

  • 4/5 Genevieve W. 3 years ago on Google
    The monkeys are cute. You can't pet them though. Because of the virus most of the monkeys are block off from you so you keep your distance. The food is quite expensive so we didn't get any. Overall a nice experience :) (I only took pictures of birbs)

  • 5/5 Agatha C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Marit M. 3 years ago on Google
    The parc itself is very nice. We went on a cold and rainy day and sadly most animals sought shelter and couldn't be seen properly. For lunch at Apengaap we felt that there wasn't a lot of options, but the food was good.

  • 5/5 MIlan C. 3 years ago on Google
    During Corona fairly limited. No gorillas. Very strange and disfunctional system for ordering and payments for refreshments. Fortunately very nice and helpful staff. Not all credit cards works here!!! Additional payments for parking 9€. Apart of all of this, very very nice and worth visiting. I would consider visiting after Corona. 😉

  • 4/5 Aida De M. 3 years ago on Google
    Not your average zoo. It's great to walk among the monkeys! Fun for kids, with lots of playgrounds and also educational fun. The adventure search bag we bought for our kids, wasn't really worth it: €5 for a backpack and a hat, although the paper binoculars where an asset, they were broken by the end of the day (kids are 5 and 6). We went during Covid, so some things were closed or certain monkeys weren't allowed to run free, because they are themselves vulnerable for the virus. You could order food and drinks online and then collect them after a notification. Great experience, we will go back to see more monkeys when the Covid restrictions are over.

  • 5/5 Daniel J. 3 years ago on Google
    A great place for a daily visit. Apes are well taken care of and the park layout was really good. Corona ruins it a bit though with distance to apes and so on..

  • 3/5 Jason B. 3 years ago on Google
    The park itself was nice. Most apes (but not all) had quite a lot of space and the variety of species was very large. The pricing was okay but maybe a bit overpriced at some points. What I did not like was the measures taken due to Covid 19 as you could hardly keep distance. Some places were organized with one-way-walking but most of the time people were very close to each other. I guess they are just letting too many people in. It should be possible to bring visitor levels down to a point where distance can be kept as you have to reserve a visit anyways. The park itself is nice but they should regulate the number of visitors down by just not allowing too many reservations.

    Mooi ruim opgezet park. Heb niet het idee dat de dieren hier weinig ruimte hebben. Hebben niet alle apen kunnen zien maar daar was het weer dan ook niet echt voor. Park houdt zich netjes aan de RIVM richtlijnen. Je moet dan ook reserveren in een bepaald tijdslot, dit kan je overzichtelijk via de website doen.

    Apenheul is een fantastische plek voor jong en oud. De opzet van het park is erg leuk met veel verschillende apen, waarvan er een aantal los lopen tussen de bezoekers. De voederpresentatie van de gorilla's zijn ook zeker een aanrader. Naast het park is er ook aandacht voor educatie en zet Apenheul zich actief in voor bescherming van de verschillende soorten. Tot slot; de koffie en koffiebonen zijn echt heerlijk

    We have been here many times and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are later this year and it is colder. We thought, because of the cold weather, that this was the reason that we did not see many animals. Really disappointing added to the corona rules, was a bit disappointing.

    (Translated by Google) Despite corona we had a lot of fun. Have a great time. Lots of monkeys geys. Only regretted that they didn't get closer.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice park, friendly staff and lots to do for children small and large. The disadvantage is that you have to walk through a large park before you get there, and (due to the corona rules) only about the help of the monkeys is visible, I personally thought this was a shame. But think it is totally worth going, and we will definitely be going back soon! (Original) Erg leuk park, vriendelijk personeel en veel te doen voor kinderen klein en groot. Nadeel is dat je een groot park door moet lopen al vorens je er bent, en (door de corona regels) is enkel ongeveer de helpt van de apen zichtbaar, dit vond ik persoonlijk jammer.

    Due to corona not everything was open to the public and the primates are able to catch and transmit the virus. At times the crowd density was too high, but you could always go to less densly pack spot, because the park itself was not overcrowded. Given the circumstances, it has been a good day.

    Beautiful park. It feels like taking a stroll in a forest, with the animals running freely or being close enough to observe. There are also plenty of great playgrounds on the route for our own little monkeys to climb and run. We had a great day, even with the current restrictions and limitations. Fresh air, green environment, lots of chances to play and beautiful animals. What else do you need?

    Nice and rather unique experience. This wildlife parc is so much better than a zoo, you can see the monkeys from very close, the enclosures are very big and natural. Some of the monkey run around freely. That's so cute. Don't forget your camera and enjoy a cool day at Apenheul!

    The animals are taken care of. I really liked to see that the area for different species were large and clean. They also took enough measures against Corona to ensure that there are not alot of people are there at the same time with giving timeslots to when people can enter. Additionally, areas where people could get stuck were divided and there was a direction of entry. Well done!

    This is an amazing zoo, everyone should visit. It's world's apart from any other zoo I've visited. You could easily spend a full day here and still have stuff to return for. There was a fun interactive feature where children could explore hand sizes, tool usage, food choices, limb length etc and loads of fun playground equipment spread throughout for the children to enjoy. Our three were shattered at the end of the day!

    Wonderful experience here! Parking safe and enough for the amount of visitors they get. In the park, The monkeys are all over, very friendly and just typical monkeys. After a little walk you are welcomed to monkey-proof bags which help keep them off your belongings The staff around the park are friendly and helpful. Everyone looks chilled and smiling there Tones of stuff to do for the kids! And so many other activities going on also either interactively or stuff you can create yourselves too Highly recommended!

    This is probably the most beautiful zoo/park we have ever been to. We even saw a mom breastfeeding a one day old maki, free around. The hidden gem is the evolution room. I wish that part would have more space/attention. Inspite of the numerous guardians that will prevent it as much as they can and the numerous boards, you still can see lots people still touching the monkeys. I know, they look extremely cuddly and so relaxed but .. Thumbs down to those visitors.

  • 5/5 Sam T. 1 year ago on Google
    There is ample parking and they have staff on the road to guide you to the car parks. They do charge about €9 for day parking though. There is a toilet that is next to the carpark right before the entrance that is not part of the zoo as such they will charge you for usage. The toilets are free once you pass the zoo entrance. I was quite impressed with this zoo. The enclosures are quite large and look good. The monkeys all looked healthy and active. There are some sections were the small monkeys and lemurs are free roaming. They give you a lockable satchel to put your possessions in to prevent the monkeys from taking them. Although they more likely to try to grab food then your camera. For people with prams it be a good idea to put the mil bottle and baby snack, wipes, etc into the satchel. You can easily spend 4-5 hours walking around looking at everything. There are three playgrounds suitable for children up to 10. There's a timed gorilla feeding attraction so get there on time if you want to see that. It is busy but not so packed that you be bumping into people except at the chock points like the restaurants during lunch hour. I really wish they didn't put the smoking area right next to the playground and the food stands as the entire area just stinks of cigarette smoke.

  • 5/5 maddin8 1 year ago on Google
    A great zoo that makes the impression of a good habitat for the animals (they mostly, but not exclusively keep apes here). You can get really close to the apes in certain areas which is nice, especially for kids or taking photos. You can learn a lot about the animals and there are plenty of food courts and playgrounds for children. A good place to go as a family or if you like zoos in general, definitely one of the better ones i visited!

  • 5/5 Wynand S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice park where some of the monkeys are roaming free.. not all ofcourse. Enough places to eat and drink within the park. Just make sure none of your pockets and bags are open because these monkeys will steal anything! Very cool for the younger kids!

  • 4/5 Peppino G. 1 year ago on Google
    The park is very nice but I expected to literally walk among the monkeys (which the special bags distributed at the entrance suggest), while the few I saw were in enclosed areas or behind windows, like a common thematic zoo. Maybe I was just unlucky. Also, the food offer is quite limited (basically junk food only) and this is a problem if you or your children have allergies or you are not really into hot dogs, fries and ice creams. It would also be nice to have attractions for younger children (1-2 years old) installed. If you are visiting the park with children aged 3+, though, they will have a great time.

  • 5/5 Csilla C. 11 months ago on Google
    I can highly recommend this place. You can see a high variety of monkeys and other animals in a place that is very close to their natural habitat. They are not caged and miserable as in trafitional zoos. There are areas where they run around freely and even come and sit on your lap. They are not aggressive or dangerous as long as you don't try to touch them. The history of these animals are well explained. I recommend to see the "gorilla-show" where you get loads of information on them while they get fed. They are not caged. There is only water between you and the gorillas but luckily they can not swim :) The show is in Dutch. I recommend to go to this park as early as possible. Until 2pm we could walk around pretty well but around 2pm it got pretty crowded. This was our 2nd time here but will definitely return again in a few years

    What a wonderful surprise!! The park is huge, and most areas are very open and provide loads of space for the monkeys and apes. The gorilla feeding was one of the highlights... no rush, great insights and explanations, an incredibly relaxing experience. I was not prepared to seeing lemurs and monkeys gallop freely through the visitors... amazing! I totally enjoyed our private tour with Iris. She is one of the most passionate, dedicated and kindest personalities I have ever had the privilege to meet. She truly made our visit special and memorable. Standing ovations to you, dear Iris, you are an incredibly inspiring person and so knowledgable about the animals. A visit to the park is highly recommended, and a tour just makes the difference.

    Looks well-maintained and exciting for kids. It takes about 10 minutes of walking from the parking lot to Apenheul's entrance. You walk through a beautiful park. Apenheul itself was busy, but less busy than I expected during summer holidays. There are lots of species and the animals seem to be doing OK from uneducated eyes, like mine. The prices for food there are spicy and there are not a lot of options. In hindsight I would have brought food from home. Take a light backpack because you need to wear it facing the front.

  • 5/5 Donika X. 8 months ago on Google

    Super schöner, großer, sauberer Park. Die Tiere machen einen sehr gepflegten und gesunden Eindruck, also scheinen die Mitarbeiter super Arbeit zu leisten 🖤 Wenn man als Familie anreisen möchte, sollte man sich lieber etwas zu Essen und zu Trinken mitbringen. Die Getränkepreise sind viel zu hoch! 3,25€ für 0,2l sind wirklich viel zu viel. Ketchup sollte man auch entweder günstiger verkaufen oder einfach dazugeben falls gewünscht. Ansonsten würde ich wirklich jederzeit zurückkommen! Die Affen, egal welcher Art, waren wirklich wirklich süß und es gab auch super Angebote für Kinder.

  • 5/5 Michael F. 5 months ago on Google
    Ein wunderschöner und weitläufiger Park. Die Affen haben meiner Meinung nach richtig viel Platz zum Klettern und um sich zurück zu ziehen. Ein Großteil der Affen läuft frei herum, sie verstecken sich aber auch oben in den Bäumen. Es gibt sehr viele Möglichkeiten sich zu setzen und auch um sich zu verpflegen. Die Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen sind alle nett und sehr freundlich. Die Preise für evtl. Verpflegung sind völlig moderat. Das Tagesticket für den Parkplatz kostet ca. 11€. Was ich völlig OK finde. Ich kann Apenheul nur empfehlen. Wer Affen mag kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Sehenswert ist auch die Fütterung der Gorillas. Dauert ca 20 Minuten.

Despite the drizzle, there were plenty of species pottering about under the trees, with no evidence that they had been forced outside (and plenty of other species that had sensibly taken themselves inside to gaze out the windows at the rain!). Got close to quite a few different species, in particular the squirrel monkeys, red howler monkeys and Barbary macaques, but all the animals we saw seemed well adjusted to captive life and not afraid of doing their own thing close to visitors. Gorilla show is only in Dutch, but this is noted on signs, and would have been fine if the silverback hasn't come out, taken a bite of chicory and then decided that the offering was not outweighing the rain and scarpered sedately off! Can't blame him! Humans had jackets and were sitting under a canopy in the dry, after all!
