    Went here with the SocialDeal discount. With that we paid around 50 euros for two adults and two kids. Quite a nice zoo. Love it how well decorated most of it is. It is lovely and blends perfectly between the worlds. Also the restaurants blend in well with the scenery. Nice collection of animals. For kids there are quite a few lovely playgrounds. I didn't understand the 8 letter puzzle thing they hand out at the entrance though and didn't bother enough to ask for elaboration. Quite a lot of maintenance going on, things being broken or in need of maintenance. All the mechanical kids rides are broken. One had a sign on it that it was closed because they couldn't manage to get spare parts for it in the current world economy. Still feels odd that all of them are broken then. The water playground was a little too simplistic. Doable to visit everything in one day. Toilets and park are very clean. Restaurants are really pricey, but you can easily bring stuff from home. Lots of seating, also when bringing your own stuff. Parking at the zoo costs 7,50 euro but you can also easily park entirely free at the Kerkrade train station. See my review of the parking lot of the zoo (P1) for walking instructions..

    This is a nice zoo. It has paths to walk and look at all the different animals. Kids have a lot of possibilities to play and you can buy refreshments all over the area. Also good numbers of public restrooms and they are wheelchair friendly. The culinary experience is quite dissapointing though. Only 3 from 5 Stars. Worth giving it a try to spend a few hours and have a good time.

    Sehr schön, angelegter Zoo. Viele verschiedene Tierarten, jedoch muss man immer eine ganze Weile suchen, bis man die Tiere findet, da sie sich in den sehr natürlich angelegten Gehege verstecken. Es gibt viele spielplätze und zusätzliche Attraktionen für Kinder. In der Summe kann man einen sehr schönen Tag hier verbringen. Einziger Mangel für uns war, dass leider ein sehr grosser Bereich gerade umgebaut wird und man deswegen die Tiere nicht sehen konnte, und einige Umwege gehen musste, wodurch kein schlüssiger Rundweg mehr möglich war. Viele der anderen Rezension, die sich über die überzogenen Preise der Gastronomie beschwert haben, konnte ich nicht wirklich nachvollziehen. Es kostet auch nicht mehr als irgendwo anders im Zoo oder Schwimmbad etwas zu Essen. Eis 3,50 €. Bratwurst im Weck 7 €, Pizza 12 bis 16 €. Für heute sind das eigentlich schon fast normale Preise, auch wenn das traurig ist.

    The red pandas are amazing. If you don't see them in their enclosure, look up into the trees - they'll be snoozing. Zones are impressive, particularly the rhino and giraffe area, and seem larger than most zoos. Good ticket options for repeat visits. Plenty of places to eat.

    Most of the animals have big open cages and some are getting even bigger ones in the future. While this might be annoying for us it's great for the animals, more space for them to run around and hide from us when necessary. The covid rules are easy to follow and I had a safe feeling going around the park.

    Der Zoo ist schön angelegt, viel Schatten und Bänke zum rasten. Toiletten sind auch gut erreichbar. Leider war der Eintrittspreis und die Parkgebühr sehr teuer. Wir haben zu zweit 58 € bezahlt.

    Impressive Zoo - very nice enclosures and nice walkway in the shadows. Some animals you dont see often like wolverine

  • 5/5 Jesse S. 11 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    Very cool zoo, went there with my family and we enjoyed it. The zoo is very large and there are a lot of different animals, they are all very visible and they don't have cramped enclosures. They also have good restaurants and enough toilets. They also have a statue of the animal with braille under it for blind people, which I find a very cool addition. Overall I recommend visiting GaiaZOO.

    Child friendly place and lots to do. Sometimes the smallest kids struggle to see over the fence/wall as there are no ledges to stand on. Restaurants and kiosks have always quite long queues, if even open. So have some snacks/water of your own. We like the place a lot!

    Great zoo, enclosures for the animals are very big and they look happy and well taken care of. Was a joy to see them behaving naturally, not nervously walking around in the same pattern like you see at most zoo's. Moreover, there is lots to do and see for kids (playgrounds, information stands) and for adults of course. Parking as well as entrance not expensive at all. We had a great time there.

    (Translated by Google) No matter how "species-appropriate" the animals supposedly live there, it is and remains animal cruelty! Don't support that, you'd better go to the forest with your children! (Original) Egal wie "artgerecht" die Tiere dort angeblich leben, es ist und bleibt Tierquälerei! Unterstützt sowas nicht, geht mit euren Kindern lieber in den Wald!

    Lovely zoo!! Feels nicely small-scale, yet has plenty animals to see to fill your day. The pathways are "natury", this give the explorers vibe to the kids, while relaxing for adults. Very refreshing especially comparing to big-city zoo's. Only notes: doesn't look very wheelchair friendly with all the little hills and stairs, and secondly a polar area is missing.

    Big park where the animals are kept in very spacious compartments. This results in a harder time to spot the actual animals, but is a good thing if you ask me. Due to covid there is a temporary "one-way" route on some parts (see photo), but overall very well organized. Had fun here :)

    Wonderful experience, we had the rain forest guided tour and it was nice having someone giving us facts about the animals we got to see. I also love how much food there is to choose from! I absolutely recommend this place for anyone who loves animals, views and food.

    Lovely place to visit as a kid or an adult or full family together. Perfectly planned routes which are easily accessible by foot or even for wheelchair access or with baby prams. Enough food options at multiple restaurants with range of drinks snacks ice cream and etc. Enough spaces for sitting when you feel little tired and animal areas and shelters are very clean and managed so well without any foul smell. Big parking space and very well accessible with public transport as well. Staff is equally good and supportive.

    We bought tickets online (21,50€/person) and it made going through the gate a breeze. Their website says you can only buy parking online (7,50€) and you’ll need the parking ticket they give you at the gate to exit the parking lot. We went on a Saturday at 10am and it wasn’t too busy although it was already starting to get busy. There are several eateries here with various options. It’s pricey but not outrageous. Most of the zoo is in a loop path but some paths aren’t marked when it splits. The animals’ habitats are large and it made it a bit hard to see them if at all. We couldn’t seem to see the gorillas from any angle, they must’ve been hiding. It also gets cold here during fall-winter since most of the zoo is shaded so bring a jacket. There are several large playgrounds for kids. We spent 3.5 hours here. Overall a typical, nice zoo.

    Heute waren wir erneut hier und nach zwei Besuchen mit einem Abstand von einem Jahr kann man ein gutes Fazit mal ziehen. Der Zoo ist richtig gut. Der Preis ist ein wenig höher aber es wird auch viel geboten. Kinder können sich hier auch gut austoben. Leider sind einige Gehege oder Ausstellungsstücke in die Jahre gekommen(Staub oder Moos) oder einfach defekt,da kann man noch Einiges verbessern. Preise in der Gastronomie doch ein wenig hochpreisig.

    Der Eintritt spontan schon etwas viel. Also wer es kann schon im voraus online buchen. Ansonsten kann man ein paar ganz tolle Stunden hier verbringen. Alles gepflegt und sauber. Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und hilfsbereit.

    Ein sehr schön angelegter Zoo mit weitläufigen Gehegen. Es gibt eine "alle-Tiere-sehen"-Route durch den Zoo, so dass man sich auch bei einem ersten Zoobesuch gut orientieren kann. Eine kostenlose Zoo-App hilft einem u.a. auch bei der Orientierung. Die Tiere sahen alle sehr gepflegt aus. Es gibt mehrere Spielbereiche für Kinder und den überdachten Dino-Dome. Selbst bei nicht so gutem Wetter können sich die "Kleinen" hier gut austoben. Um alles in Ruhe und ohne Streß zu sehen, sollte man ca. 4 Stunden einplanen.

    Cute little Zoo. We saw a newborn Banygiraffe 🥰 and other beautiful animals. Nice Maineroute with signs 😊

  • 5/5 Senne M. 7 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Absolutely beautiful zoo, by far one of the best in Europe! The exhibits are very natural and well designed, and they have a well rounded and large collection of animals based on the Taiga, Savanna, and Rainforest. The restaurants are also good, and all aspects of this zoo are just overall amazing! Highly recommend.

    Interesting zoo though small when compared other world class zoos. Don't expect varieties of large mammals. However, its good for an outing with family.

  • 5/5 Tiffany De W. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved seeing all the animals in large habitats. I hadn't been to a zoo in a long time because of the way the animals were kept in small spaces but Gaiazoo is a game changer in this regard. They truly seem to respect the animals and try to provide natural habitats where they can.

  • 5/5 Jule H. 3 years ago on Google
    I never visited this zoo before , it’s not that old, great setup, friendly staff, I’ve seen animals that I never seen before . Well maintained park. I definitely will visit this zoo again when I’m around

  • 5/5 Nathan D. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there during a very hot day, and the little ones still had a lot of fun. There is a lot of shade along the paths which made the stay very bearable. Beautiful animal enclosures where you can walk around by following the path. Also fun for the kids are the playgrounds.

  • 5/5 Noel H. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a great day at GaiaZoo. Not overwhelmingly busy even though we were there on a Saturday. Not a very big zoo, but plenty of animals and well kept. Will definitely come back again!

  • 5/5 Rutger S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very well maintained and atmospheric park. There are several opportunities to have a drink and a bite and plenty of toilets.

  • 4/5 Spielmann 3 years ago on Google
    The park itself is presented very nicely and diversely. Overall the biodiversity is a bit on the low side, especially considering the relatively expensive entrance fee. If you want to see elephants, crocodiles or tigers, better seek another zoo. Food is stereotypical Dutch deep fried cuisine. Overall a good weekend destination for anyone living in the vicinity. Anyone else is better off in Cologne or Düsseldorf.

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

    (Translated by Google) Very nice zoo. It's just a pity that this Belgian scouting.

Soon you will have to close the doors due to corona. This can be avoided. The picture of it is here! (Original) Zeer mooie dierentuin. Alleen jammer dat deze Belgische scouting. Nog niet de corona regels kent,en ook geen borden kunnen lezen.tegen het verkeer in 😡😡 Ik vindt dat het park beter moet opletten. Deze groep kwam uit een risico gebied !!!

    Real nice zoo with a lot of different enimals. The setup is done is such way that little children can also have good look at the enimals.

  • 4/5 B r. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice zoo, worth a visit. Not very large but nicely landscaped which makes for a good 3-4 hour entertainment. If with kids, one can easily spent a day as there's several playgrounds and attractions as well. Most animals you'd expect in a zoo are present. No elephants, tigers though and not too many aquatic animals. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. All in all a nice outing for most age groups.

  • 5/5 aron d. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice zoo! Some nice special parts with a lot of info or just a lot to see. Not a real big zoo but good to enjoy for a good part of the day. Some good horeca locations. Enough toilets. Fun to go with kids , and the kidsfarm is a cool place for hands on for the kids.

    (Translated by Google) Cool! We can see animals from all over the world here. Many species of birds, mountain goats, fish and animals from different continents live here. A very good place for a trip. Good place for animal photography. A good place for kids. You can see live how animals live in the wild (to a small extent). The zoo offers care for animals that would otherwise have little chance of survival. I recommend to visitors to the Zoo and Park! (Original) Super! Możemy zobaczyć tutaj zwierzęta z całego świata. Mieszka tutaj wiele gatunki ptaków, kozy górskie oraz ryby i zwierzęta z różnych kontynentów. Bardzo dobre miejsce na wycieczkę. Dobre miejsce na fotografię zwierząt. Dobre miejsce dla dzieci. Można zobaczyć na żywo jak w rzeczywistości (w małym stopniu) żyją zwierzęta na wolności. Zoo oferuje opiekę dla zwierząt które w innych warunkach miałyby małą szansę przetrwania. Polecam dla zwiedzających Zoo i Park!

    (Translated by Google) Gaia park is an experience for young and old, and the unique thing is that most animals simply understand the Kerkrade dialect, don't you believe it? now try it out.

    (Translated by Google) Gaia Park is also a good place to be during this Corona pandemic. Reserving a time slot is necessary, but it benefits the visit completely. The park is very well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Various one-way paths have been set up in the park and there is disinfection fluid in various places. (Original) Ook tijdens deze Corona-pandemie is het goed toeven in het Gaia Park. Een time-slot reserveren is wel noodzakelijk, maar komt het bezoek geheel ten goede.

    Wonderful. One of the best Zoos we have ever been too. My husband and I are sceptical about Zoos but were convinced by family with kids to go and check it out with them. We were so pleasantly surprised how wonderful this Zoo is build. Animals have lots of space and kept in areas that seem to copy their natural environment. They have 5 restaurants in the Zoo, we went to 2 of them, food was tasty, affordable and all staff was super friendly. Can really highly recommend this place as a family day trip. It is worth the slightly high entrance fee.

    Zoo is big and spacious. Ample parking place on the entrance. They have multiple regions where in one region you can view the animals up close. There are information boards and some fun facts. Overall the visit was fun and surely it was above our expectations. We really love the baby giraffe and the flamingos!

    A small, but beautiful zoo. It is one of the prettiest zoos i have visited. The animal areas are large and the animals seem to have plenty of space to hide if they want. The staff are friendly and helpful. They seem to know a lot about the animals.

    Very nice park, I've enjoyed it alot. If it's not too busy you can see it in 4 hours. I loved everything about it. The animals have enough space and a very beautiful habitat. It's very peaceful to walk in this zoo. The food was also very good and not too expensive. Friendly staff and you can choose the way you wanna go on the route. I recommend this zoo!

    Been here many times. A big zoo with plenty of space for the animals. You can well spend half the day here. The zoo is built in several themes. Everything clean and especially for children a lot of fun. The only minus point: The entrance fee and food / drinks in the zoo are a bit expensive and in the restaurants it is always crowded on weekends.

    Very beautiful location. You feel like you're in wilderness. Not so many species considering the size of the zoo. You'll need some 4-5 hours to see everything. It only works till 17h.

    A great place for a day out with kids; however, do not expect much from it as a zoo. Animals are limited.

  • 5/5 N. K. 9 months ago on Google
    Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, so viel zu sehen, groß angelegt, überall gibt es etwas zu entdecken! Beschreibung zu den Tieren auch auf deutsch! Spielplätze und für das leibliche Wohl ist auch gesorgt auch wenn das etwas teurer ist! Kann man ja auch einen Rucksack mit Verpflegung packen! Mir hat es super gefallen, auch im Sommer viele Schatten Möglichkeiten!

  • 5/5 Motorrad B. 7 months ago on Google
    Ein sehr schöner und sauberer Zoo. Keine langen Wartezeiten. Der Rundgang ist zu empfehlen. Manchmal muss man am Gehege länger verweilen um ein Tier zu sehen, aber das finde ich nicht so schlimm. Das Essen vor Ort ist teuer. Es gibt genug Möglichkeiten seine mitgebrachten Brötchen, Obst oder ähnliches zu essen. Wir kommen nächste Jahr wieder.

  • 5/5 Valentina A. 7 months ago on Google
    Eine sehr große und gepflegte Anlage. Die Gehege sind so gestaltet, dass man fast alle Tiere immer sehen kann. Sehr viele Spielplätze für Kinder. Viele Bereiche, wo man essen und trinken kann. Parkplatz muss man separat bezahlen (8,50).

  • 5/5 Sarah D. 7 months ago on Google
    Sehr schöner und gepflegter Zoo! Auch mit kleineren Kindern (inklusive Kinderwagen) gut zu begehen. Es gibt viele Sitzmöglichkeiten (auch im Schatten). Gehege großzügig und sehr schön gestaltet. Man kann die Tiere hautnah beobachten. Auch viele Spielmöglichkeiten (Spielplätze, Wasserspielplatz) für Kindern, absolutes Highlight war hier der Dinodome als großer Erlebnis-Indoorspielplatz und das Dino-Karussell (kostenlos). Wir waren begeistert und kommen wieder.

    Heute waren wir im Gaiazoo in Kerkrade, der auch für uns Deutsche recht leicht zu erreichen ist. Einfach über die Grenze zweimal Abbiegen und schon ist man da. Etwas verwirrend fanden wir die Preis-/Ticket-Gestaltung über die Homepage, über die wir dann nicht die Tickets gekauft haben, sondern direkt an der Tageskasse. (Als ADAC-Mitglied gab es dort einen guten Rabatt!) Der Zoo selbst ist natürlich auf niederländisch, was man aber gut verstehen kann. Zusätzlich gibt es Hinweisschilder und vor jedem Gehege ein Skulptur, so dass man weiß, wonach man suchen kann / muss, wenn die Tiere nicht direkt sichtbar sind. In unserem Fall war es der wärmste Tag der Woche, was man vielen Tieren angemeckert hat, dass auch sie erschöpft waren und eher den Schatten gesucht haben. Grundsätzlich ist der Park sehr großzügig angelegt. Speziell für Kinder gibt es viele Spielplätze als auch Restaurants an den man sich mit Nahrungsmitteln, Getränken und Eis eindecken kann. Genauso gut lässt sich die Verpflegung aber auch selbst mitbringen und verzehren. Gut fand ich auch, dass einige Tiere, die man nicht vor Ort haben konnte, als ausgestopfte Tiere zu bestaunen waren. Dennoch ist die Auswahl an lebenden Tieren auch sehr hoch. Etwas schade ist jedoch, dass es nicht sehr viele "exklusive" Tiere gibt. Von unseren persönlichen TopFour gabs es nur die Giraffen und Erdmännchen (Elefanten und Pinguine sucht man leider vergeblich). Meerestiere allgemein gibt es hier recht wenige, da lohnt sich der Besuch im BurgerZoo in Arnheim eher. Nichts destotrotz hatten wir einen schönen Tag im Gaiazoo! Und wenn die Bauarbeiten abgeschlossen sind, kommen wir ggf. noch einmal wieder.

    Oftmals kennt man die schönen Dinge in der näheren Umgebung nicht. So ist es uns auch mit dem GaiaZOO in den Niederlanden ergangen. Persönlich einer der schönsten Zoos die wir bisher besucht haben. Das Gelände ist super gepflegt und sehr schön angelegt. Die Gehege sind unserer Meinung nach sehr groß und schön gestaltet. Es gibt ausreichend Bänke zum verweilen und schauen. Das Angebot an Restaurants ist auch großzügig, aber leider nicht ganz günstig. Das Parken ist mit 8€ auch in der oberen Region. Alles in allem aber ein lohnendes Ausflugsziel. Für Kinder gibt es an jeder Ecke Spielplätze. Wir sind begeistert. Viel Spaß beim Besuch.

😠 The location marker is on the former Domaniale mine site, but refers to the Schacht Nulland located on the Domaniale mine road, this is confusing because when people look for the museum, they end up in a residential area without a museum. While the Nulland shaft is in the photos.
