    Very diverse park, with good rides! This park isn't like any other zoo, as it has a couple of rides you would expect in an amusement park. However, I cannot call the park 'COVID-safe'. The amusement park has three main themes: jungle, savanna/desert and water. These themes all have their own areas which you can explore. In all areas, you will find tiny playgrounds and mazes. These are aimed at the little ones, as the whole park is aimed at 6-12 year olds. However, the grown-ups can also expect extras from the park, like a rollercoaster, or a 4D cinema experience. I really liked both of them, as they really gave me a break from the walking around the park and let me enjoy it in other ways. I enjoyed the safari ride in the savanna area the most, as it gave you an opportunity to marvel the animals up close. Those rides really add for a more diverse and fun experience. As for the zoo itself, there are a lot of animals. The information about them is informative while being enjoyable as they list short facts at every field. Because the paths walk around every habitat, you are able to view the animals from every possible angle. The only negative thing about the park are the COVID-19 safety measures. I could acces the park from the very beginning, the very first timeslot. At that time, we could keep a safe distance from everyone. But at 12:00 the park was extremely crowded to the point that keeping a safe distance was not possible anymore. In the butterfly house, I could not turn my back or I would hit someone, something that cannot happen during these times. This is why I give Wildlands 4 stars. When all COVID is over, it deserves 5 stars.

    It well recommended for kids, they have a lot of activity [play ground] for kids, The design of the zoo is lovely. Unfortunately, at that time we couldnt see all the animals we want to see, such as lion or crocodile. Price of coffee or snacks are okay, friendly place for seniors as well, as many toilets en seats are available.

    Fantastic park to visit year around. Not only are the animal enclosure settings beautiful but also spacious. In addition, there is a roller coaster and an indoor jungle cruise in the park. There are plenty of places to sit, eat and WC. The best restaurant is inside the jungle area near the jungle cruise. I don't recommend Momma's restaurant. The cheesburgers with bbq sauce are overpriced and terrible tasting. 😫

    Nice zoo, good variety of animals and environments. Wildlands is a relatively new zoo and everything about the park shows this. Modern style areas for the animals with plenty space for them to roam whilst still allowing the public to view them. Attractions in between vary from a rollercoaster to a 3d ride. Nice variety of restaurants and shops complement the zoo. Was a great visit even though the weather let us down that day

    This place is good. It's a bit centered in the category amusement park and zoo. I actually like it.

    Empfehlenswert!! Ein total toller Zoo. Die "Käfige" gibt es so dort gar nicht, sonder nur "Gehege" die auch teilweise erkundet werden können. Schön gestalteter Rundweg durch den Zoo. Super ist auch die Bootsfahrt und auch die LKW-Safari. Die Achterbahn hat selbst unserem (Achterbahnerprobten)12 jährigen gefallen. Preise für Essen und Trinken etwas höher als in Deutschland. Für einen Niederländischen Zoo/Freizeitpark aber absolut okay. Die 4D Show haben wir nicht besucht, da wir dort noch eine Stunde hätten drauf warten müssen, da an dem Tag nicht durchgehend Vorstellungen waren. Wir werden den Park auch noch bestimmt ein zweites Mal besuchen.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice ride from Aurich to Emden. The price of 18 € is acceptable for the return trip and some nice cozy hours on board. The plentiful breakfast is paid extra on board and is worth the money. The same applies to lunch on the way back. A dog costs an extra € 2.50. The staff is quick and helpful and you can order something to drink at any time. The onboard service is very good. A canal trip that I can highly recommend. In Emden you have enough time to see the city and the Otto Huus and to eat a fish sandwich at the best fish stand in the area. (Original) Sehr schöne fahrt von Aurich nach Emden. Der Preis ist mit 18€ akzeptabel für die Hin- und Rückfahrt und einige schöne gemütliche Stunden an Bord. Das reichliche Frühstück bezahlt man extra an Bord und ist sein Geld wert. Das gleiche gilt für den Mittagskaffee auf der Rückfahrt. Ein Hund kostet extra 2,50€. Das Personal ist flink und hilfsbereit und man kann sich jederzeit etwas zu trinken bestellen. Der onbord service ist sehr gut. Eine Kanalfahrt die ich wärmstens empfehlen kann. In Emden hat man genügend zeit sich die Stadt und das Otto Huus anzuschauen sowie ein Fischbrötchen am besten Fischstand der gegend zu essen.

    A very nice place with wildlife experience and some fun rides. Good thing is that all includes in the entrance ticket (Safari ride, little roller coaster, 3D Arctic Flight, Boat ride). Very well managed.

    Unglaublich schön angelegte Wege, Gehege die als solche kaum zu erkennen sind. Alles ist weitläufig und großzügig angelegt. Die Tiere machen den Eindruck als fühlten sie sich wohl. Sehr sauberer Park, ideal um einen unvergesslichen Tag zu verbringen

    Ein wirklich sehr schöner Zoo dessen Besuch immer eine Reise wert ist. Die Areale sind sehr gepflegt und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Auch die Preise an den Snackständen sind bezahlbar und vernünftig. Für Kinder ist dieser Zoo ein wunderbares Erlebnis und die Attraktionen in den Einzelnen Themen Bereichen sorgen für ein super Abenteuer. Die Buchung eines Online-Tickets ist zu empfehlen damit es am Eingang schneller geht. In direkter Nähe befindet sich ein gepflegter allerdings Kostenpflichtiger Parkplatz.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 7 months ago on Google
    Unglaublich toll angelegte Anlage, welche man nicht mehr als Zoo bezeichnen kann. Eine Reise durch eine Vielzahl an Ländern quer über den Globus trifft es eher. Die "Gehege" sind als solche kaum zu erkennen, da alles sehr weitläufig ist und die Tiere viel Auslauf haben, sie sind großzügig und sehr Naturgetreu gestaltet. Der Park ist sehr gepflegt und wunderschön angelegt. Ob jung oder alt, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt, es war für jedes Alter was dabei 😊 Es war ein unvergesslicher Tag. Auch das (zum Teil unscheinbare, im positiven Sinn) Personal war vielerorts vertreten, stets hilfsbereit und immer freundlich.

    What an amazing zoo. The animals are so well looked after, spent a whole day here, we loved the boat ride, and the safari truck to get closer to the animals, and the bonus of the roller-coaster is just a big plus. So many different areas to explore, a fantastic day out. Would definitely recommend to anyone. It's the best zoo I've ever been to! And some animals I've never been able to see before such as the polar bear, and some of the fish are amazing.

  • 5/5 Matthijs K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful zoo with nice extras. Extremely well themed for a zoo, with plenty of space for the animals. Also recommended in corona times, by means of a fixed walking route it is quite possible to keep a distance. (Original) Mooie dierentuin met leuke extra's. Buitengewoon goed gethematiseerd voor een dierentuin, met veel ruimte voor de dieren. Ook in corona tijden een aanrader, door middel van een vaste looproute is het goed mogelijk om afstand te houden.

    This is my favourite animal zoo in the Netherlands. You can get close to the animals and the animals have a lot of room to move. The park looks so nice as well, it feels like you're entering a theme park.

    Wildlands is not a Zoo but an adventure park. You can walk among the wild (but not to wild) animals, visit the amazing indoor playground and take a ride in the roller coaster. You can easily spend a day here. The prices are very reasonable.

    It's awesome but keeping 1,5 meter from the rest is impossible. There are too many people and if you try to take distance other people just come into your 1,5 meter. Not recommended during covid-19 period but awesome place

    (Translated by Google) It is a nice park, but I found the old park nicer and cozier. I thought the bugs were more at home there than the new park. Kwa butterfly space. Is no longer beautiful at all Baboons used to be much nicer in their place than they are now. Bit boring on a rock wall. Is really a shame that they have failed to do this (Original) Het is een leuk park alleen ik vond het oude park leuker en gezelliger. Ik vond dat de beestjes daar beter op hun plek zaten dan het nieuwe park. Kwa vlinder ruimte. Is totaal niet meer mooi De bavianen zaten vroeger veel mooier op hun plek dan hoe ze nu zitten. Beetje saai op een rots wand. Is echt jammer dat ze hier te kort aan hebben gedaan

    (Translated by Google) Something different for once! An animal park with beautiful decor, just like an amusement park. There is even a roller coaster and it is also possible to take a boat trip. Plenty of play equipment for small children and a variety of animals. Also nice to see that the enclosures of the animals look larger than, for example, the animals in Blijdorp. (Original) Eens een keer wat anders! Een dierenpark, dat voorzien is van mooi decor, net zoals een pretpark. Er staat zelfs een achtbaan en het is ook mogelijk om een boottochtje te maken. Super veel speeltoestellen voor kleine kinderen en een verscheidenheid aan dieren. Ook mooi om te zien dat de verblijven van de dieren groter ogen dan bijvoorbeeld van de dieren in Blijdorp.

  • 5/5 Robert Jan W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This animal park has become much more of an adventure park with an emphasis on zoo animals. Great fun for families. A huge indoor playground with the most beautiful monkey cage installation I have ever seen. A covered courtyard the size of a small football stadium where a tropical forest with water features and a river has been created where you can sail with a boat. There you can also feed parrots, watch a spider demonstration and visit a large restaurant in this super cage in the nice warm temperature. Plus the butterfly garden with orchids. The dwarf otter flu in a special part of the garden is so nice to see and those animals are very social group animals. There is a very nice bamboo maze of 5 meters high bamboo grass. Sea lion shows are held with spectacular high jumps from the water. And there is a beautiful roller coaster that puts a lot of G forces on you. Then there is also a safanne garden where you can drive through a train car where a rhino could attack the car. The lion cage is really beautifully laid out on very high rocks so that the Lion king can really feel like a king over his kingdom. Subscription to this zoo costs less than 6 euros per person per month. Visit this zoo three times a year and you are cheaper with this subscription. That is well worth it. (Original) Dit dierenpark is veel meer een avonturenpark met de nadruk op zoo dieren geworden. Superleuk voor gezinnen. Een enorme overdekte speeltuin met de mooiste apenkooi installatie die ik ooit heb gezien. Een overdekte binnentuin zo groot als een klein voetbalstadion waar een tropisch bos met waterpartijen en een rivier in is gemaakt waar je met bootje op kunt varen. Daar kun je ook papegaaien voeren, een spinnen demonstratie bekijken en een groot restaurant in deze super kooi in de lekker warme temperatuur bezoeken. Plus de vlindertuin met orchideeën. De dwergottersgriep in een speciaal stuk van de tuin is zo leuk om te zien en die dieren zijn zeer sociale groepsdieren. Er is een heel leuk bamboedoolhof van 5 meter hoog bamboegras. Er worden zeeleeuwen shows gehouden met spectaculaire hoogtesprongen uit het water. En er is een fraaie achtbaan die behoorlijk veel G krachten op je zet. Dan is er ook een safanne tuin waar je met trein wagen doorheen kunt rijden waar oa een neushoorn de wagen zou kunnen aanvallen. De leeuwenkooi is echt supermooi aangelegd op zeer hoge rotspartijen zodat de Lion king zich ook echt king over zijn rijk kan voelen. Abonnement op deze zoo kost minder dan 6 euro per persoon per maand. Drie keer per jaar naar deze zoo en je bent goedkoper af met dit abonnement. Dat is het ruim waard.

    Hi, I've been to loads of animal parks but this one is fantastic... From start to finish I enjoyed everything they had... My kids absolutely enjoyed themselves... I must say that Holland has the best Animal parks and Zoos in Europe and this one has just been a touch better than burger zoo ... A big thanks to the everyone from booking in to looking after the Animals... I can recommend this establishment..

    Wildlands is hands down the best zoo I've been to so far. Had a wonderful experience with my family. So much to do and see! Definitely worth a visit. Entry went quick. I do suggest booking tickets in advanced. Waiting time for the Safari Ride did not take that long either if you have the patience. I'm not sure about the 4D or rollercoaster as we did not try those. Boat Ride we did not wait at all cause we went there at the end of our adventure. Overall, everything was efficient. Wildlands is clean and the decorations for each themed areas were lovely. The animals look happy and well taken care of which is a big plus for me! Keep up the good work, guys! They were so fun to observe and interact with. So were the plants and flowers! Was in awe with all the beautiful flowers I saw there 🤩 Big place yet organized. You do not feel too tired to keep the adventure going. I love the themes they have for each sections. I enjoyed the rainforest boat ride a lot after a long day of walking around. We ate at the Momma's Restaurant and the burgers were delicious! Loved the Lemon Lime Slushie and the cup it comes with it! There are tons of other food options depending on the area you are at but we did not get to try those. Each area has their respective themed souvenir shops as well! The animal facts were simple and fun to read. Staff were friendly! The only suggestion I have is to have an English narrator also during the Safari/Boat Ride for the tourists. I personally understand Dutch but would be good to keep English in mind for the ones who don't. I also noticed that there are no English maps upon entry. Super loved Wildlands! Took many great pictures that I will cherish forever. Thank you for the wonderful memories! More power to Wildlands Adventure Zoo! 🌱🤙

    Had a very loving 2 days here, especially with the hotel on walking distance. There was a heatwave in netherlands on the days of visit. The animals were looked after perfectly fine with lots of water and icecream treats! We got extra discount on water bottles and they turned on spayers to keep us cool. Had a wonderful day, the animals are happy and very viewable, some even very up close. The staff is well knowledged and friendly! The activities are fun and the food tastes amazing.

    Very impressed by the way things have been constructed. The inter action with some of the animals is wonderful. The size of the enclosures is also very impressive. The boat cruise through the jungle was wonderful. Enjoyed a nice meal with beverages in the equatorial area. On the whole I was very impressed.

    This zoo has some very nice and well designed animal areas which allow for coming very close to the animals and they feel really comfortable with it, which is quite unique. The animals all looked really well, and the zoo is very clean. A weird thing is that there is a rollercoaster in the park as well as a 4D experience which feels a bit random but was still fun. There was also a crazy amount of places in the park where you could sit and eat. As in, almost more places to eat than animal enclosures in the zoo overall. Still a very nice park and a good price for entrance. Would definitely visit again!

    Family-friendly park. Nice boat ride, safari car tour, a little coaster and warm wok food is a big surprise! €10 wok with you choosing whatever you want (chicken, beef, vegetables, shrimp and tauge) with free ajar / bawang goreng / keropok. The heated area of tropical animals and birds is so cool. Birds walking around and seeing the dreamy butterflies is just amazing. The staffs are very friendly and caring😍.

  • 5/5 Ravini N. 8 months ago on Google
    A zoo with 3 zones - Jungola (the world of the tropical jungle), Serenga (the world of the hot dry), Nortica (the world of the ice cold). Nortica will take the lest time to explore and Serenga the most. Would recommend heading off to Animaxia play area in Serenga last cz it could be hard to get the kids to leave once you're inside. Hands down this was one of the best zoos I've visited so far. You need a well planned full day to cover all attractions with toddlers. We brought our own food to save time spent in restaurant queues so no idea about the in-house restaurants. Zoo offers close encounters with animals where most animals seem very tame and unafraid of humans and it's well organized into different zones and themes. Special features: Jungola: river cruise through a tropical jungle, butterfly garden; Serenga: rollercoaster ride, safari ride, Animaxia (huge indoor play area for kids) Arctica: 4D movie, sea lion live show at arctica theatre (pls check timings and be there on time. This 20-30 min long sea lion stunt show is held only three times during the day and timings are published in the website) There are diff presentations done in different exhibits of the zoo giving explanations about animals in the exhibit (schedule is published in their website). We couldn't attend any of these though.

    Ein wirklich schöner Zoo, in dem es für alt und jung viel zu entdecken und zu erleben gibt. Hier kann man gut den ganzen Tag verbringen ohne zu merken wie schnell die Zeit verfliegt. Tolle Gehege und immer wieder andere Blicke auf die Tiere. Die Anlage macht einen sehr gepflegten, sauberen und modernen Eindruck. Das Personal ist stets freundlich und hilfsbereit.

    Wir haben den Park an einen Donnerstag besucht. Es waren noch Ferien in der Region, es war einiges los, aber wir haben nur 1x wirklich etwas länger anstehen müssen und das war bei der Safarifahrt. Der Park ist super gepflegt und sauber. Ale Angestellten waren freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten zum Essen kaufen oder einfach sein mitgebrachtes zu verspeisen. Die Tiergehege sind sehr schön gestaltet. Die Mischung aus Zoo und Abenteuerpark ist super. Wir (6 Personen- 3,12,36,54,59,61) waren von 10Uhr- 18Uhr im Park und diese Zeit brauchten wir auch um alles in Ruhe zu sehen und aufzunehmen. Es gibt am Eingang gegen einen Pfand eine Art "Rollstuhl" zum Leihen, der ist super wenn man jemand dabei hat der keine langen Strecken am stück laufen oder stehen kann! Wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind fahren wir wieder vorbei! Es war ein toller Tag!

    Went a few years prior, and the park definitely got a lot better. You might not get the variation of exotic animals you do at more traditional zoos, but the experience at wildlands sure is better: much more thematic and nice enclosures, lots of different ways to experience the animals (like underwater viewing points) and distinctive areas. The only point of feedback I have is that there isn't a lot of information on the signs near the animals. It would be cool if there were ways, either on the signs themselves or through qr-codes, to get more information.

    We visited one night during the 2-week long Wild Nights festival. It was very cold and had been raining, though not while we were there. My daughter had a season ticket for the family and there was no wait to enter. The light show was impressive and is the most memorable aspect of the festival. There were contained bonfires in several locations which provided warmth and fun. We enjoyed live musical entertainment, a trio playing Johnny Cash songs. There were food vendors and areas to sit; also toys and mementos for sale. My grandson loved the cotton candy because sugar was spun around a wand containing multi-colored lights. We didn't see many animals, but there were special displays: life-size camels to sit on, located near real camels; and videos projected onto waterfalls over a pond; and some small animals viewable in rooms. It was very cold and we decided to leave, so we may have missed many displays. We had to pay for food in one line before obtaining it in another line. Luckily other customers in the food lines told us so we didn't waste time waiting in the wrong line

    Enjoyable experience overall. Entrance, however, is absolutely crazy, one second you're in the middle of the city centre wondering where the zoo is supposed to be, as it feels you would enter a cinema or mall with all the buildings in the background. The next second you're in the zoo wondering where the city went unable to imagine being in the city centre. Wasn't concentrating for a minute and this experience struck me and still stuck in my head. Zoo itself is interesting to explore, not too big, but many open areas. I'm sure it's a blast for kids, with something to find every few steps. Definitely worth a try.

  • 5/5 Hans P. 4 years ago on Google
    Brilliant zoo. Entrance fee is .. well.. a small fortune. Usually there are discounted tickets though. Mind you, for a family of eight still quite a lot of money but worth every penny, I think. It might be a good idea to bring your own lunch.

    Very nice park/ zoo. With a real-life Safari-experience, to see the animals is a maximum natural habitat. So sometimes you’re just not seeing the elephants, because They are just 2.5 km away.

  • 4/5 TheAlpina71 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastische dag gehad met mijn 2 jonge kinderen. Pretpark dat wat mij betreft helemaal weer van deze tijd is. Het is verdeeld in 3 thema's jungle, savanne en arctic. De olifantenvallei en de serengavallei met giraffen, impala's, zebra's en neushoorns zijn schitterend aangelegd. Zo liggen er naast de kamelen, oude Duitse treinstellen waar je doorheen kan lopen. In deze savanne kun je via een truck een safari doen en in de jungle is er een boottochtje te maken. Van de shows hebben wij helaas niets gezien. Ook de 3d arctic film is een leuke belevenis waar je als het ware langs de ijsberen en pinguïns vliegt. Voor ons een top dag met vermoeide beentjes maar tevreden gezichtjes dus wij zeggen Wildlands top gedaan!

    Fantastische dierentuin! Schitterend vormgegeven, met heel veel aandacht voor detail, zeg maar niveau Efteling. Schitterende leefgebieden voor de dieren, ruime opzet en duidelijk dat dit park met veel liefde is opgezet. Absolute aanrader. (Momenteel met Corona natuurlijk eenrichtingsverkeer en looproutes en natuurlijk veel domme mensen die geen afstand kunnen houden, maar daar kan de dierentuin zelf natuurlijk niets aan doen. )

    Erg leuke dierentuin met veel extra's. Het was bloedheet vandaag en dat drukt de pret toch wel wat. Het is nogal ver lopen naar de verschillende 'werelden' zeker met de Corona looprichting. Plan dus je route slim en verwacht niet van de indoor speeltuin (aanrader!!) even naar de junglebootjes te lopen. Het personeel is vriendelijk, ondanks de drukte en hitte. Overal is eten en drinken te koop. Een leuke dierentuin waar je prima een dag mee kan vullen.

    (Translated by Google) Wildlands is a beautiful zoo in the heart of Emmen. The park is easily accessible and there is ample parking. Waiting times at the entrance are fine. You can often continue like this (especially if you have already bought a ticket online). As soon as you enter you can choose from three routes / continents. Jungola, with a large covered greenhouse, stands out for us. Nortica, the least elaborated route at the opening of Wildlands, has now had a number of major improvements. New animals such as raccoons and owls make the continent a lot more interesting. The animal enclosures are spacious and Wildlands is committed to animal welfare, education and breeding programs. In the present time that is definitely a plus. There are plenty of dining options and places to sit. The attractions in the park are aimed at young children (or groups of different ages) and the intensity is therefore low. That does not mean that the boat tour, the roller coaster and the ride across the savannah are also worthwhile for adults. Plenty of space for the animals also means that you sometimes have to search before you see them (even with the elephants!). Take your time for each stay and you will find them soon enough. In recent years, efforts have also been made to create new enclosures and new animal species, which means that you will encounter more and more animals in the park. All in all, I can't help but give Wildlands 5 stars. The zoo is even very suitable for a shorter visit (for example one continent and a cup of coffee). We soon found out that a subscription is a good deal (compared to the day entrance), so if you like the park then it is definitely worth considering. (Original) Wildlands is een prachtige dierentuin in het hart van Emmen. Het park is goed bereikbaar en er is ruime parkeergelegenheid. Wachttijden bij de ingang zijn dik in orde. Vaak kun je zo doorlopen (helemaal als je online al een ticket hebt gekocht). Zodra je binnenkomt kun je kiezen uit drie routes / werelddelen. Jungola, met een grote overdekte kas, springt er voor ons uit. Nortica, bij de opening van Wildlands toch de minst uitgewerkte route, heeft inmiddels een aantal grote verbeteringen gehad. Nieuwe dieren, zoals wasberen en uilen maken het werelddeel een stuk interessanter. De verblijven van de dieren zijn ruim opgezet en Wildlands zet in op dierenwelzijn, educatie en fokprogramma's. In de huidige tijd is dat absoluut een pluspunt. Er zijn genoeg eetmogelijkheden en plekken om even te zitten. De attracties in het park zijn gericht op jonge kinderen (of groepen van verschillende leeftijden) en de intensiteit ligt dus laag. Dat neemt niet weg dat de boottour, de achtbaan en de rit over de savanne ook voor volwassenen de moeite waard zijn. Veel ruimte voor de dieren betekent ook dat je soms even moet zoeken voor je ze ziet (zelfs bij de olifanten!). Neem de tijd voor elk verblijf en je vindt ze snel genoeg. De laatste jaren wordt er bovendien ingezet op nieuwe verblijven en nieuwe diersoorten, waardoor je steeds meer dieren tegenkomt in het park. Al met al kan ik niet anders dan Wildlands 5 sterren geven. Zelfs voor een korter bezoek (bijvoorbeeld één werelddeel en een kop koffie) is de dierentuin zeer geschikt. We kwamen er al snel achter dat een abonnement een goede deal is (in vergelijking met de dagentree), dus als het park je bevalt dan is dat zeker het overwegen waard.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice zoo where there is much more to experience than just watching animals. The design of the park, the decoration of the animals and the experience are also very neatly worked out. There is something to do for children of all ages. There is a very large, very nice indoor playground (2+ years), a roller coaster and you can go with a bus through the savannah (mini safari) and with a boat that sail the bush. We had a very nice day (almost too little time to see everything)! Even in the current time with Corona, a lot of thought has gone into how the park can be easily accessible. A clear one-way route ensures that you can see everything in the park. (Original) Zeer leuke dierentuin waarbij ook veel meer te beleven valt dan alleen maar dieren kijken. Ook is de vormgeving van het park, aankleding van de dieren verblijven en de beleving zijn erg netjes uitgewerkt. Voor kinderen van alle leeftijden valt er iets te beleven. Zo is er een zeer grote erg leuke binnenspeeltuin (2+ jaar), een achtbaan en kun je met een bus door de savanne (mini safari) en met een bootje die de rimboe varen. Wij hebben een zeer leuke dag gehad (bijna te weinig tijd om alles te zien)! Ook in de huidige tijd met Corona is er goed nagedacht over hoe het park wel goed toegankelijk kan zijn. Een duidelijke één richtings route zorgt ervoor dat je alles van het park goed kunt zien.

  • 4/5 Danny N. 3 years ago on Google
    This zoo is more oriented towards the experience itself than it is towards the animals. This makes it more fun for smaller children. There still are a lot of cool animals you can view from a lot of different angles. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

    All in all really great park, most of the animals have a lot of space to move themselves around and have a bit of solitude if they wish to do so. Lots of places to sit, eat, drink and toilets are plentiful for those needs as well. Prices seem right, on par with most parks in this category. I think you'll have a good time!

  • 5/5 Edward S. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) What a beautiful park this is! So much space for the animals! They clearly feel very comfortable here. All the animals were playing and happy. The most beautiful was the butterfly garden and voilliere. Giant butterflies and beautiful dwarf parrots flutter around you. You can buy some kind of nectar for the birds and then they come and lick it. A really fun experience. The boat trip through the mangrove was also great fun. And there is even an exciting roller coaster. Friendly staff make it complete. We had a very nice day and were able to see everything. This probably thanks to Corona because it was awfully quiet. (Original) Wat een prachtig park is dit! Zoveel ruimte voor de dieren! Ze voelen zich duidelijk heel fijn hier. Alle dieren waren aan het spelen en vrolijk. Het mooiste was wel de vlindertuin en voilliere. Reuze grote vlinders en prachtige dwerg papegaaien fladderen er om je heen. Je kunt een soort nectar kopen voor de vogels en dan komen ze dat oplikken. Echt een leuke ervaring. Ook het boottochtje door de mangrove was superleuk. En er is zelfs een spannende achtbaan. Vriendelijk personeel maken het compleet. We hebben een hele leuke dag gehad en alles kunnen zien. Dit waarschijnlijk dankzij Corona omdat het akelig stil was.

    (Translated by Google) Great fun zoo! We visited the zoo in the winter, during the corona crisis. Everything was well organized; 1 walking direction which made it seem extra quiet, clearly indicated everywhere where 1.5 meters away was the norm. Fine! Also very nice that you could get a look behind the scenes. The winter season had just started, so a number of animals were in the winter enclosure. But we could still see these animals! Very special to walk into (what looks like) a normal horse stable, but then to stand at 1 meter from rhinos. Really recommend! (Original) Geweldig leuke dierentuin! We hebben de dierentuin bezocht in de winter, tijdens de corona crisis. Alles was goed geregeld; 1 looprichting waardoor het extra rustig leek, overal duidelijk aangegeven waar 1,5 meter afstand de norm was. Prima! Ook erg leuk dat je een keer een kijkje achter de schermen kon krijgen. Het winterseizoen was net begonnen, dus een aantal dieren zaten in het winterverblijf. Maar we konden deze dieren dus toch zien! Heel apart om (wat lijkt op) een normale paardenstal binnen te lopen, maar dan op 1 meter van neushoorns te staan. Echt een aanrader!

    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful park where the themes are nicely structured. Lots of details used for every part of the park. Because of this I think that the park distinguishes itself from other animal parks. Extra added value is that you can watch backstage. Fun and interesting for small children. Unfortunately there was not much to see during the safari drive because most of the animals were not in the field. Our child liked the butterfly garden to see the large butterflies fluttering around and a nice warm-up moment for all of us. The boat trip is fun to do. It is an indoor boat trip and passes the elephants and monkeys. Different types of birds fly throughout the space. Incidentally, you should not expect it to be an amusement park. There are only a few attractions and see this more as a nice extra than an amusement park. Corona rules were followed closely. It was quiet and clear walking routes have been indicated. (Original) Het is een prachtig park waarbij de thema's mooi zijn opgebouwd. Veel details gebruikt voor elk deel van het park. Hierdoor vind ik dat het park zich onderscheid van andere dierenparken. Extra toegevoegde waarde is dat je backstage kan kijken. Leuk en interessant voor kleine kinderen. Helaas was er tijdens de safari rit niet zo veel te zien omdat de meeste dieren niet in het veld stonden . Ons kind vond de vlindertuin leuk om de grote vlinders rond te zien fladderen en voor ons allen een lekker opwarm momentje. De boottocht is leuk om te doen. Het is een indoor boottocht en gaat langs de olifanten en apen. Door de gehele ruimte vliegen verschillende soorten vogels. Je moet overigens niet de verwachting hebben dat het een attractiepark is. Er staan namelijk maar een paar attracties en zie dit dan ook meer als een leuke extraatje dan een attractiepark. De Corona regels werden goed gevolgd. Het was er rustig en er zijn duidelijke looproutes aangegeven.

    (Translated by Google) A bit skeptical, we went to Emmen to visit Wildlands adventure zoo. During our visit we were positively surprised by the design of the park where the animals are very visible and in some cases almost touchable. The surprising boats and the roller coaster and the safari were also popular. Despite the fact that many catering establishments only offer take-out, this park is definitely recommended for anyone who would like to experience a different zoo. (Original) Een beetje sceptisch gingen wij richting Emmen om een bezoek te brengen aan Wildlands adventure zoo. Tijdens ons bezoek werden wij positief verrast door een opzet van het park waar de dieren heel zichtbaar en in sommige gevallen zelfs bijna aan te raken zijn. Ook de verassende bootjes en de achtbaan en de safari vielen in de smaak. Ondanks dat veel horeca alleen afhaal bood is dit park zeker een aanrader voor een ieder die graag een andere dierentuin wil ervaren.

    (Translated by Google) Hm, ... Perhaps we are still too young for a leisurely coffee ride with guaranteed calm swell. It was certainly not the friendly staff, who did not get too busy with a low cast, but rather on their own expectations. Maybe we drove in the speed East Frisian coziness, while we were overtaken at the dam of the many bicycles without electric drive. Or maybe it was the escorting force that came in next to the boat to lift all our bridges and regulate the water in the lock. Or maybe it was just too cold, so you only stare down (on warm days) on ever-recurring blades of grass. Certainly it was the same way back with the same impressions at eye level of the ducks. Maybe I repeat this tour, sometime in 25 years, when I try to slow down time with one or two pieces of cake, while numerous ducks rock to the right (on the way out, to the left on the way back) on the waves made by the boat. Conclusion: not for restless spirits who divide the day into experiences. It should be noted, however, that my star rating as always represents a subjective moment perception. (Original) Hm, ... Vielleicht sind wir noch zu jung für eine gemütliche Kaffeefahrt bei garantiert ruhigem Seegang. Es lag ganz sicher nicht am freundlichen Personal, das bei geringer Besetzung nicht all zu viel zu tun bekam, sondern wohl vielmehr an der eigenen Erwartungshaltung. Vielleicht fuhren wir im Tempo ostfriesischer Gemütlichkeit, während wir am Damm von den vielen Fahrrädern ohne Elektroantrieb überholt wurden. Vielleicht war es aber auch die Begleitkraft, die neben dem Boot hereilte, um uns sämtliche Brücken aus den Weg zu heben und uns das Wasser in der Schleuse regulierte. Vielleicht aber war es auch einfach nur zu kalt, so dass man unten (im Warmen) lediglich auf immer wiederkehrenden Grashalme stiert. Ganz sicher war es aber der selbe Rückweg mit den selben Eindrücken auf Augenhöhe der Enten. Vielleicht wiederhole ich diese Tour, irgendwann in 25 Jahren, wenn ich die Zeit bei einem oder zwei Stück Kuchen zu entschleunigen versuche, während zahlreiche Enten zur Rechten (auf dem Hinweg, zur linken auf dem Rückweg) auf den vom Boot erzeugten Wellen schaukeln. Fazit: nichts für unruhige Geister, die den Tag noch in Erlebnisse aufteilen. Es sei jedoch erwähnt, dass meine Sternevergabe wie immer eine subjektive Momentwahrnehmung darstellt.

    (Translated by Google) Friendly crew and nice little ship. Delicious cake on board and great prices. There are a few audio comments that are played while driving. Route not particularly spectacular though. (Original) Freundliche Crew und schönes kleines Schiff. Leckerer Kuchen an Bord und super Preise. Es gibt ein paar Audiokmentare, die während der Fahrt abgespielt werden. Route allerdings nicht besonders spektakulär.

    Discover the jungle by boat or on foot and get to know the elephant family. Spot rhinoceroses and giraffes up close during your truck safari across the savannah. Visit the new Raccoon Creek, go on a polar expedition and come face to face with polar bears and penguins. Besides being a Zoo, its also a great place for kids to play on the several huge playgrounds they have. The biggest playground is indoor and my guess is the most dad’s might wish they were young again to climb the obstacles. The park is big! We were there around 11 and left when the park closed at 6. We could have spend more time if we wanted so make sure you are in time. A great Zoo to visit with or without kids. Nice themes and well setup. There are food and drink facilities around every corner. (regular theme park pricing..) This is more than just a Zoo and worth a visit! You can park your car for free at Parking Oost, and then walk for about 8 minutes to the entrance of the park. You can also park your car closer to the park but costs around 10 euro. Have fun! We sure did.

    The best zoo safari/experience I've been so far and my family goes to a lot around the world. I love the way they accommodate so much space for the animals. Fun factor is also 5 stars. Super highly recommended!

    Visiting the zoo was an amazing experience. They have a lot of different animals which have very spacious enclosures. Also there ate buildings that you can walk through, where the animals can roam freely. The zoo provides variable (feeding) shows multiple times a day. Also more than enough souvenir shops, restaurants and toilets can be found all over the zoo. At last the employees are really kind and willing to help you make the best experience out of your day at the zoo.

    Amazing place. A must visit for everyone. There are different zones in it, like Serengeti etc. The whole setup is lovely. Also, to see and explore the whole place properly, you need atleast two days. Do not miss the boat ride or the jungle safari while you are there. Ample parking and lots of eating options as well.

    Great place for young kids to see and experience wildlife. The Tropical and African ambience and feel was very good.

  • 5/5 Max J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice zoo with lots of animals and a nice flow to the park. The park is set up in 3 different zones, jungle, savannah and arctic. The tropical jungle area is completely indoors and very big. There's an option for a boat ride as well. The savanna area also has a safari-like ride you can get on to get closer to the animals. I suggest starting with the arctic area, as this one is not very big or spectacular. I advice going on a weekday to avoid long queing for said boat/safari rides, and food. Food is extremely expensive, bring your own. Also ordering tickets online comes with a tiny discount, and ensures no additional queing for the ticket window is necessary. Baby changing areas are located in the toilets for the disabled and are accessible to both men and women. All in all, a very nice experience. Will certainly be back soon.

    Went here with a group of friends and we spend our entire day here, until they literally closed. They are not that many animals, but quite a few and the experience in general was very nice. The animals are treated well and have proper living conditions. Although there weren’t as many animals as I’m used to see in a zoo, I am very happy that I went here. All the decorations were very nice. The walking paths were decorated with trees and plants. Most of the animals walk around freely in some parts, so you can literally walk through their habitat. There were also goats and donkeys that you could pet. Not only do you have animals, there’s also a mini boat tour and a 4D movie. Unfortunately not everything was open since the weather was pretty bad and there weren’t many people visiting, but I would definitely visit again.

    Best Zoo I have ever been to. More similar to a theme park than a normal Zoo. 3 theme areas, a large indoor play area, several shows, Restaurants and shops. Had a blast there with my 2 year old, the baby goats were her highlight

    The food is very expensive here. Some of the animals you cannot see them , maybe because of the hit. But I think the place of the animals is in the wild.

    The beste!! 👏 Beautiful Zoo, beautiful place and nice experience!! 🥰 They have a few restaurant inside, where you can eat! 😊 I recomand it for everybody!! 👍

  • 3/5 L. van A. 7 months ago on Google
    Overall nice park, the animals have good spacious enclosures which is definitely and an upgrade compared to the old park. Happy to see the animals have good living conditions. Indoor areas are very crowded with carts. Waiting at the restaurants take up a lot of time during the visit.

  • 5/5 Cathrine W. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best zoo experience we ever had! They maybe have fewer animals. But the whole experience makes it amazing. The details around each zone. They have a boat ride, role coaster, a safari trip, 4D movie. There is a giant climbing area for kids inside. Every food place was not open. Probably not season yet.

    Wunderschöner gut angelegter Zoo mit großen Gehegen. Es gab immer wieder Kleinigkeiten zu entdecken. Wir hatten halben Tag für den Besuch eingeplant und das war eigentlich zu wenig Zeit. Leider blieb so keine Zeit mehr für das 4d Kino oder eine Vorführung. Diese kann ich also nicht beurteilen. Die Safarifahrt und das Dschungelboot sind lohnenswert. Die Achterbahn hat meinen Sohn viel Freude gebracht. Ein Highlight für uns war die begehbare Präriehundeanlage.

    Niederländische Zoos sind was ganz besonderes. Die Tiere haben mehr frei Raum viele Tiere können sich frei bewegen und man kommt den sehr nah. Für Kinder ist auch viel Abwechslung dabei. Also alles in allem sehr schön.

  • 5/5 Monkia H. 7 months ago on Google
    Ein wunderschöner und vor allem sehr sauberer Park! Auch das Restaurant war klasse! Schöne und geräumige Gehege für Tiere, die man nicht in jedem Zoo sieht. Ein Zoo bleibt ein Zoo, aber diesen kann man empfehlen....in allen Bereichen *****

    Went on a quiet Wednesday, sadly it was pouring with rain. The inside areas are magnificent, really well done. The space the animals have is more than sufficient, good to see that in a zoo, especially one in the middle of a city. Despite the rain we visited all areas, animals have more brains than us, as they were all sheltering from the very heavy rain. Enjoyed the say immensely, will return on a warmer, brighter day next time.

    Wildlands is such an awesome spot. There is no end of things to do for kids, plenty of coffee spots for the parents. Playgrounds inside and out and obviously plenty of animals. The shows are also pretty interactive and interesting and not too long or too short! We arrived at 10.20 with a 2 and 6 year old and we only left at closing time. It was a fantastic day out. Its easy to navigate too and the maps are very handy

    Unfassbar toller Park / Zoo. Und für die Kinder gab es immer wieder am Rand Möglichkeiten zu klettern, so dass es nicht nur ein Spaziergang durch den Zoo ist, sondern ein Abenteuer. Es gab so viel zu erleben. Groß und klein waren begeistert. Nur die Snack Stationen waren leider nicht alle offen. Könnte aber am Ende der Sommersaison gelegen haben.

  • 5/5 Aline H. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolut empfehlenswert. Hier kann man einen ganzen Tag verbringen und entdeckt in jeder Ecke immer wieder ein weiteres Tier. Tolle Anlage und sehr gepflegt. Für Groß und Klein alles dabei. Genügend Plätze zum verweilen. Ausreichend Sanitäranlagen. Verpflegung sollte man sich ggf. selber mitbringen da das Essen dich Recht kostspielig ist. In der Nähe ist ein kostenpflichtiger Parkplatz.
