  • 5/5 Ron van B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice zoo where the animals have a lot of space, and are easy to see and active. Most of it is outside, including some animal species in indoor enclosures. You can enjoy a walk outside among the animals, in a spacious park. Limited number of animal species but very rewarding. Recommended! (Original) Erg leuke dierentuin waar de dieren veel ruimte hebben, en goed te zien en actief zijn. Het grootste deel is buiten, ook enkele diersoorten in binnenverblijven. Je kunt buiten heerlijk wandelen tussen de dieren, in een ruim opgezet park. Beperkt aantal diersoorten maar zeer de moeite waard. Aanrader!

    A great family outing, so many animals to see. Although I'm not a fan of animals in an enclosure, these animals seem well taken care of and look happy. Do buy tickets in advance as you could get a discount on the website. Pathways are well maintained, perhaps not ideal for walking with a pram when it rains as they turn fairly muddy. 2 large play areas for all age kids, with nice food stands and restaurant. Would highly recommend

    Nice small, and cozy park. Some animals present, contradict the name of the zoo as apes and tigers, you don't associate with water. Indoor part disappointing with lack of maintenance and cleaning. The €5 parking fee is a bummer, and doesn't make sense.

    Excellent zoo, friendly staff, animals are situated in pretty natural environment, fine for them and for photographers! New landscapes are being developed as well. Enjoyed our visit despite the rainy weather...

  • 5/5 Leah D. 11 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    The zoo was a little pricy, but seeing the animals made the cost worthwhile! You can tell the zoo staff really cares about them and the animals seem happy. We got to see the Humboldt penguins, kangaroos, and lemurs up close and it was breathtaking. My personal favorites were the agouti (green rodents) and the raccoons, who liked hiding in wooden barrels. I appreciated how accessible the zoo was - I used a wheelchair and had no trouble seeing every exhibit.

    Super fun place to go for a short zoo visit. This won’t take you all day but it’s worth a trip when in the area. The new tigers are super nice!

    It's a nice and clean zoo..I've been here twice, once during a holiday and last weekend and it's never super busy. Besides looking at animals there are 2 fairly big playgrounds that are great for kids. It's stroller friendly and my personal favorite is being able to see the penguins up close.

    (Translated by Google) Once upon a time there was a Pelican, a Stork and a Heron on an island. It could be the start of a joke. But what a nice park it was. I had few expectations because it would be "small". But that was not so bad. We have taken a beautiful walk through a nice zoo with surprising animals. From sea lions to flamingos and curious monkeys. Very nice. I also loved the beavers that only swam in green water. Probably due to an algae deposit at the time of the year. The ring-tailed Maki's outdoor enclosure was also closed to visitors. Perhaps this also had to do with the Corona guidelines. These were evident everywhere, by the way. Finally, the polar bear ... even with the mega stay, I didn't think he / her fit here. They like to swim but I saw little water. But the polar bear must have a good time here. All in all, a nice zoo for a day out. (Original) Er zat eens een Pelikaan, een Ooievaar en een Reiger op een eiland. Het zou het begin van een mop kunnen zijn. Maar wat een leuk park was het. Ik had weinig verwachtingen omdat het "klein" zou zijn. Maar dat viel reuze mee. Wij hebben een prachtige wandeling gemaakt door een leuke dierentuin met verrassende dieren. Van Zeeleeuwen tot Flamingo's en nieuwsgierige apen. Heel erg leuk. Ik vond de bevers ook geweldig alleen zwommen die in groen water. Waarschijlijk door een algafzetting in de tijd van het jaar. Het buitenverblijf van de ringstaart Maki was ook gesloten voor bezoekers. Wellicht had dit ook te maken met de Corona richtlijnen. Deze waren overigens overal duidelijk. Tot slot de ijsbeer.. zelfs met het mega verblijf vond ik hem/haar hier niet passen. Ze houden van zwemmen maar ik zag weinig water. Maar de ijsbeer heeft het hier vast goed. Al met al een leuke dierentuin voor een dagje uit.

    We came to Holland for vacation (from Sweden) and discovered this nice place in Leeuwarden! A bit overpriced but its nice and the kids loved it! I hope till next time they bring in more animals like lions and tiger etc. Nice cafeteria but again overpriced! More vegetarian options please

    Great place. The park almost seems as if it was buid directly into a forest. Lot of natural pathways and animal enclosures with a lot trees and green. 4 stars out of 5 because the directions along the path aren't always as clear. Some wooden signs Don t have any symbols on them which can be confusing.

    A good place to relax and enrich knowledge with children, I recommend it. There are few large animals (one tiger, several polar bears, deer), but all the fences look organic, there are also playgrounds for small children and older ones, locations with food and drinks, you can celebrate a birthday. Lego lovers will definitely like the animal figures, the coral reef ecosystem and others.

    Der traurigste Zoobesuch meines Lebens! Zwei Erwachsene und ein Kind 63€. Dafür gibt es zwei depressive Eisbären, unsichtbare Tiger und leere Gehege des Todes. Das Wasser im Aquapark war ekelig, die Waschbären wurden eingeschläfert und die Pinguine sowie VIELE andere Käfige waren leer… Ich kann die 5 Sterne Bewertungen wirklich nicht verstehen…. Das Personal war sehr freundlich 👍🏼

  • 5/5 Oliver N. 1 year ago on Google
    Sehr schön gestalteter Zoo, toll in die Seenlandschaft eingebunden mit vielen verschlungenen Wegen. Man kann sich regelrecht verlaufen oder Bereiche auslassen, weil es keinen dezidierten Rundweg gibt. So haben wir leider u.a. die Eisbären nicht gesehen, also immer wieder auf den Plan schauen, wenn man sich nicht auskennt. Im Eingangsbereich gibt es ein typisch holländisches Restaurant mit äußerst freundlichen Mitarbeitern. Viele Kinder waren dort, alle essen Pommes Frites, unsere nicht ausgenommen. 😉 Bei den Humboldtpinguinen hatten wir unseren Spaß, denn die wollten uns ans Leder, einer schnappte mir ins Bein... die waren ausgehungert, die Fütterung stand bevor. Auch die war, wenn auch nur auf holländisch, sehr informativ. Die Kängurus flüchteten leider vor uns Menschen; ich kann es ihnen nicht verdenken. Es wäre schön, wenn die Informationen auf den Tafeln zumindest auch auf Englisch dort stünden. Ansonsten haben uns vier Stunden nicht ausgereicht, alles zu sehen. Wir werden also wieder kommen müssen. 🙂

  • 4/5 mandy Van der Aa -. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice park. Animals have large enclosures, climbing and scrambling paths for the children is also very nice. The staff really have a heart for the animals. The only pity is that there are few restaurants and toilets (Original) Heel leuk park. Dieren hebben grote verblijven , klim en klauter paden voor de kinderen is ook erg leuk oogezet . Het personeel heeft echt een hart voor de dieren . Het enige jammere is dat er weinig horeca en wc's zijn

  • 4/5 erwin s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Much more animals than you would expect. It seems as if they are coming to pose. Also a lot of education for the children, including a lot of attention for the animals and plastic soup. The toilets and restaurant looked a bit dingy. (Original) Veel meer dieren dan je zou verwachten. Het lijkt wel of ze komen poseren. Ook veel educatie voor de kinderen waaronder veel aandacht voor de dieren en plastic soup. De toiletten en het restaurant deden wel wat smoezelig aan.

    (Translated by Google) Super nice small-scale zoo. Environment very nice, park was nice and quiet on the Friday morning. Corona measures are well observed; this gives a safe feeling. Highlights; penguins scurrying around you and lemurs almost bumping into you while playing. (Original) Super leuke kleinschalige dierentuin. Omgeving erg mooi, park was lekker rustig op de vrijdag ochtend. Corona maatregelen worden goed nageleefd; dit geeft een veilig gevoel. Hoogtepunten; pinguïns die om je heen scharrelen en maki's die bijna tegen je op lopen terwijl ze spelen.

    Not to big, nice playinggrounds for the kids. And there are a few animals too!

  • 4/5 Pandora W. 5 years ago on Google
    Still one of my favorite zoo's. To bad the polar bear was bored and did not have enough toys to entertain him. The layout of the zoo is still great though, with very few places where you are standing in a crowd.

  • 5/5 Fang S. 4 years ago on Google
    What a nice zoo! We felt immersed in nature with the animals. Our favourites were the polar bear, racoons, goats and seals. Animals were in general very energetic and playful. The park was well organized, clean, food was nice as well! Definitely a must visit in Leeuwarden.

    A loot to see ..pinguin's runing free and monkey's, lemur's and seal's are free aswell. You will see a lot off interests animal's and learn interesting facts about them. Kids can jump around or play on one of the playgrounds from the zoo.

  • 5/5 Linda Z. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Fred. Z. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice zoo with animals in and around the water. Bigger than I thought. Enough to give it a go. It is a pity that parking costs extra again, because there are few other options to get there. (Original) Leuke dierentuin met dieren in en om het water. Groter dan ik had gedacht. Genoeg om nig eens te gaan. Jammer dat parkeren weer extra kost, want er zijn weinig andere mogelijkheden om er te komen.

  • 5/5 Mount10 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Animal park was bigger than expected, lots of different animals, just some bigger animals. Aquazoo is well worth it for the current entrance fee. All in all, we walked around there for about 2 hours. (Original) Dierenpark was groter dan verwacht, veel verschillende dieren, slechts enkele grotere dieren. Voor de huidige entreeprijs is aquazoo het zeker waard. Al met al hebben wij er zo'n 2 uur rondgelopen.

  • 4/5 Rebecca Roos - van B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Friendly zoo where the animals have plenty of space. Almost everything is covered, but they do not have all animals. For example, there are no elephants or lions. But that is why it is still very nice and you can have a good look everywhere and get close to the animals. I found the indoor event a bit dark, but that must have been for a reason. (Original) Gemoedelijke dierentuin waar de dieren leuk de ruimte hebben. Alles komt bijna aan bod maar ze hebben niet alle dieren. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld geen olifanten of leeuwen. Maar daarom is het wel nog erg leuk en je kan overal goed kijken en in de buurt komen van de dieren. Het overdekte gebeuren vond ik een beetje donker maar dat zal wel een reden hebben.

  • 5/5 Dante S. 3 years ago on Google
    Walking amongst the animals was amazing. They were very adamant about Corona rules, which is great! Slight improvement might be some extra clarity on which paths would lead to a dead end

  • 5/5 Ilse G. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved visiting the zoo. All the habitats were very clean and animals were looking healthy. Showed lots of natural behaviours! We got there quite early (9am) and there were only a handful of people there which made for a lovely peaceful tour through the zoo. At 1pm it got quite busy as there were loads of visitors and all the food courts were filled with people.

  • 4/5 Rene R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice and beautifully situated zoo. Not the most modern but the location is very nice. Children enjoy themselves in the various play areas and forest paths. Definitely recommended to go.

  • 5/5 Marcel H. 2 years ago on Google
    Not the biggest zoo but its definitely worth checking it out.

  • 5/5 Sunand S. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a Great place to be with your friends, family, kids. I would say better than some of the biggest zoo. Good thing - you can watch some of the animals very closely . your half day is easily went out here. cafe is small but good. i would say if you are near by you can consider going out here. the zoo mainly accommodates aquatic creatures like beavers, sea-lions and polar bears, it also cares for land animals including tapirs, snowy owls, and wallabies.

  • 4/5 Mirjam G. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Stephen H. 4 years ago on Google
    A small zoo. If you like seals and otters this is the perfect place for you. Like almost all animal park/zoo in Holland it has excellent facility for children, play parks, food courts etc. Reasonably priced too. Lots of glass viewing points that make for good Photography. I visited in the winter, so the summer it will be beautiful.

  • 5/5 Steven v. 5 years ago on Google
    The zoo has aged very well, unlike some other zoos in the netherlands. One of the few in our country that has some penguins walking between visitors, which can be quite entertaining. It's one of those parks where you don't worry about the animals being in bad habitats at all.

  • 4/5 Thomas E. 1 year ago on Google
    Children friendly. Nice enclosures and walks. Very basic attraction food (deep fried). No aircon in the restaurant so avoid warm days.

  • 5/5 Joëlle de B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful but tiny zoo. Lots to see and do for smaller children. I was hoping for some more aquaria. It is mostly outdoors.

  • 4/5 sari S. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a fun place for both afults and kids! I did see a few animals being very bored though and doing things agains't boredom. Perhaps something could be done about that? And the snack bar next to the big yellow red jumping cushion it was a little trashy. Perhaps more trashcans could be placed there to avoid getting trash in the animals enclosures. For the rest, there was many cute animals, and the enclosures are quite big too. It's a fun environment with the foresty area. And you can get good food, and theres a souvenir shop too, where i bought a mermaid necklace with a clam with a pearl. I could take the pearl out, and put that in the pendant. Then i added my rose quartz pendant i bought earlier that week on the market. The color of my pearl represents love, and so does rose quartz. Photo is added below. For the rest, like i said, its very fun for kids, examples are the food, the jumping cushions, affordable souvenirs, animals itself ofcourse, and theres small parkours placed all over the zoo, through the foresty areas which is quite lovely. Theres also many rivers and such which was very fun and calming. I am sad i couldnt really see the seals, though. But yeah, it was quite lovely to go with friends :)

    It was a great experience and full afternoon of walking around the park.

    Nice little zoo, good for 2-3 hours of walking arround. They have multiple playgrounds next to the restaurants so it is ideal for a half day with the family. The food options could be better though

    If you visit Leeuwarden in Friesland together or with family, you might as well go here. I admit this zoo isn't a big one like we all see on TV or what we are used to but the variety of animals they have makes it worth a visit. Their latest addition are the tigers complete with multilingual info about the tigers. Another place to mention is the seal habitat. Believe it or not but they swim and live freely in (fenced in) local water. A completely natural lake with a small beach and plenty of space. This zoo is also well catered to children with multiple play areas and some off-road paths with different jungle themed elements to cross over muddy pathways and small streams of water (mostly puddles). As I write this they currently have a dinosaur theme going on with multiple known and some unknown species placed throughout the park with info about when and where they lived. In short I recommend going here at least once if you are close-by or have planned to visit somewhere near the zoo. It's a nice small zoo with a healthy variety of animals and a perfect visit for everyone.

    Visited AquaZoo with our family whilst staying with them in The Netherlands. It is a lovely little zoo with penguins,seals, tigers and much more. The flamingos were our favourites as they parading around their pen with stretched necks honking and posturing. Quite a sight! Well worth a visit. Easy to reach by public transport. Couple of places to eat - usual chips,hot dogs etc so nothing special but perfect for kids and a small gift shop with the usual stuff. We enjoyed it very much 😀

    Very well organised and animals are clean and looked after. Lots to see and do for kids. Spectacular creepy crawlie area 🙂

    I would give milion stars if I could. The best ZOO we have ever been too. The habitats were amazing, spacious and animals looked really comfortable and happy in them :) one thing that was missing were English translations and more options in the restaurant and bufet. We are definitely visiting again :)

    Ein sehr schöner kleiner Zoo, wo man den Tieren sehr nah ist und dazu kommt das, die Tiere auch grosse Gehege haben. Finde ich sehr gut. 👍 Ein schöner Ausflugs Tag zum empfehlen.

    Sehr schöner Zoo für Groß und Klein. Eintritt ist nicht ganz günstig, aber man kann den ganzen Tag dort verbringen. Mit wenigen Ausnahmen ist die Tierhaltung in Ordnung. Spielplätze und kleine Abenteuerpfade werden angeboten, ebenso kann dort gegessen werden. Parkplätze vor dem Eingang sind reichlich vorhanden, allerdings wird dafür auch noch extra abgerechnet.

    Absolut genialer zoo, den ich so noch nie gesehen habe. Pinguine, Lemuren, Kängurus und viele andere Tiere ohne Zäune und in wirklich tollen Gehegen zu sehen ist schon was ganz besonderes. Extrem nettes Personal und viele lustige Sachen die man nebenbei noch machen kann. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

    A beautiful family plan to see animals from different countries in one place.

    Toller Zoo mit größtenteils super schönen großen Gehegen und großzügiger Anlage. Besonders toll sind die zaunfreien Gehege durch die man durchlaufen kann. Einzig die Aquarien Abteilung könnte man meiner Meinung nach verbessern.

  • 4/5 R. W. 7 months ago on Google
    Ein tolles Erlebnis für Kinder und sehr entspannt für Erwachsene. Der eintrittspreis ist berechtigt, weil man damit ja tatsächlich die Versorgung der Tiere unterstützt.
