Unfortunately we only took a closer look at it on the day we left. It seems to be very nicely laid out. A must the next time you visit Antwerp. Only 3 stars because only the first impression is rated. After my visit, the review will be updated.

The flamingo were not there

Very nice and big zoo. Plan to have at least 3hrs if you d like to see all animals and expositions. If you go there at the morning you have more chance to see all animals because at the afternoon some of them hides from the sun and it is hard to find them.

Astonishing place, i noticed the zoo once i get out of the station 🚉 The building attracted me once i saw it

We spent the entire day at the Zoo - it is beautifully laid out, very clean. Loved the Skywalk . Need to go back again as we only saw about half of it. The next day we went in the evening for The China Lights - all I can say is WOW - we felt our visits to the zoo were really good value . A big bonus as well - any staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful.

In The Middle Of Antwerp Chinese Wonders

(Translated by Google) Really disappointed. Animals hurt the heart. Little space per enclosure. Almost no greenery in some and very little watering hole for some. Serious monitoring is necessary. (Original) Vraiment déçu. Les animaux font mal au cœur. Peu d espace par enclos. Presque aucune verdure dans certains et très peu d' abreuvoir pour certains. Un sérieux contrôle est nécessaire.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and very well laid out zoo. The staging seems to reproduce the natural habitat of the animals. Lots of fairly well maintained vegetation. The enclosures are quite large and the animals are healthy. A very nice zoo, also financially accessible. To do and redone. Allow about two to three hours to do everything. Also think about the snack points whose prices are reasonable and which are an additional financial return for the maintenance of the zoo. (Original) Zoo magnifique et très bien aménagé. Les mises en scène semblent reproduire l'habitat naturel des animaux. Beaucoup de végétation assez bien entretenue. Les enclos sont assez grands et les animaux sont en bonne santé. Un très joli zoo accessible financièrement également. A faire et a refait. Comptez environ deux a trois heures pour tout faire. Pensez aussi aux points snacks dont les tarifs sont raisonnables et qui sont une rentrée financière supplémentaire pour l'entretien du zoo.

(Translated by Google) Nice park even in the rain, caretakers and very nice staff. (Original) Parc agréable même sous la pluie , soigneurs et personnel très sympa ..

For a small french town to have a zoo of this standard is amazing. We arrived twenty minutes after opening, the car park was already 90% full and there were 5 parties of school children waiting to go in. The zoo is built into the ramparts of the old fortified town defences and despite the number of people there it never felt crowded.

Had a very fun day out here (me and my partner). Was a nice little zoo with some really beautiful animals. It felt like you could get very close to the giraffes which was amazing. All the animals seemed happy and well cared for. Reasonably priced at €7 a person ish. Nice little gift shop. Decent restaurant, only problem was excessive flies. Knocked a star off because half of the zoo is not wheelchair accessible despite paying full price. Very steep hills and steps in places. Still worth a visit overall

The oldest zoo in Europe

Amazing!!!

Nice that they let everyone see a part of the zoo free.

Beautiful :)

They upscaled their flamingoplein a lot. In the past you needed to already pay when you wanted to enjoy just sitting there. They now moved the entrance a little so you now have a meeting place in the zoo but you don't have to pay to enter. In the summer they do like a summer bar with summer concerts. So lovely and well taught. I have a yearly subscription to the zoo and it's so worth it

Square hidden behind the entrance to the zoo.

Loving the ZOOmerbar. Daily free music with great cocktails!

Beautiful city (Antwerp) worth visiting. Nice Zoo and other historical locations. Love to visit it again.

(Translated by Google) Well maintained zoo. Not too many animals in the enclosures; you can take your time to enjoy and in 2 hours the ride is over. There is a fast food restaurant in the zoo center. The staff are well aware that the park closes at 6 p.m. Indeed, from 5.15 p.m., they will remind you regularly. Another regret: there is no longer a blank title ... (Original) Zoo bien entretenu. Pas trop d'animaux dans les enclos ; on peut prendre son temps pour profiter et en 2h la balade est finie. Il y a un point de restaurant rapide en centre zoo.

Nice little zoo! Very green and natural area. I would recommend a trip! It's not too big, so it's perfect for a few hours of fun! In the weekends they organise animation hours with the animals.

Small Zoo but very nice with kids (felt some animals should have bit more area) loved it with young kids as they are not exhausted in that size. Kids Play Area also while one very nice playground beside the Zoo and also for small Picnic setup.
