Zoos

For animal lovers, visit the Beekse Bergen safari park (near Tilburg), or for example Gaia Zoo in Kerkrade. The Philips van Lennep and Genneper Parks are good for younger children, and are closer to home. They also offer youngsters the chance to pet a few furry friends. Younger children will also enjoy a visit to the Dierenrijk (a zoo in Mierlo), or the Zoo Veldhoven.

Family Zoo Dierenrijk Nuenen (Nuenen)

In Dierenrijk you will meet animals up close. Children can join the animal keepers on their rounds during one of the many activities. In between, they can also enjoy the indoor and outdoor playground. There are also shows with seals and elephants.

Zoo Veldhoven / Papegaaien Veldhoven (Veldhoven)

Zoo Veldhoven is a zoo near Eindhoven. We used to be known for years as the Dutch Parrot Shelter Foundation. In 2013 the park was taken over by the Loomans family and renamed Zoo Veldhoven. The collection of mainly parrots was then expanded to include birds of prey, flamingos, pelicans and various types of mammals, such as zebras, ring-tailed lemurs and alpacas.

Best Zoo (Best)

BestZOO is a cozy animal park, where you as a visitor can get close to the animals and see them well.

Come face to face with animals from all over the world. Monkeys from South America, panthers from Asia, marsupials from Australia and last but not least, kingfishers from Europe! In BestZOO you can see some real gems, which can hardly be seen in any other Dutch zoo, such as tamanduas and wallaroos.

BestZOO is ideal for the smaller among us. The park is not too big and clear, the animals can be seen up close and there is a large playground and a petting zoo where they can romp while the parents can enjoy a snack and drink on the terrace!
