Taking a day trip to the zoo. That makes everyone happy, doesn't it? Especially if you go to The Amersfoort Zoo, because there you walk anything but neatly along the visitors' paths. In the park, in addition to watching all those super cute animals, you can actually go exploring. Stand face to face with the prairie dogs, climb above the bears and go back in time in the dino park. In this blog I explain why you should visit The Amersfoort Zoo!

Animals, animals and more animals

Are there animals in The Amersfoort Zoo? Yes, it's really where. You will encounter a wide variety of animal species, spread out over different areas. Each area can be admired in a different way - for example from the water or through underground tunnels.

What makes The Amersfoort Zoo so special is that there is a lot of information about the animals. And not in the usual way! Besides the signs at the animal habitats, you can also watch videos on YouTube while walking through the park. The chilling thing about that is that you get explanations from one of the animal keepers. For example, did you know that a tiger's stripes are as unique as a fingerprint?

Awhhhhh... newborn animals

As you stroll through the park, you can also be sure to encounter newborn animals. Gold pheasants, elephants, lions, chimpanzees and you name it. So cute. Just be careful when you go so you don't miss them, in spring many mammals and birds have their young!

Who will you go on this scrambling adventure with?
