Artis

And then, of course, we have Artis. This is one of the most famous zoos in our country. Artis is located in Amsterdam and is therefore easily accessible from our recreation park. This zoo is home to as many as 750 different animal species, including sharks, gazelles, wildebeests, chimpanzees, elephants, giraffes and zebras. There are also 300 different species of trees. Therefore, it is truly a fantastic experience to walk through this zoo. Artis is the oldest zoo in the Netherlands and this is reflected in the 19^th-century architecture that has been well preserved. What also makes Artis very special is that they have recreated the natural habitat of the animals as closely as possible. You can also experience this for yourself as a visitor. Different parts of the world are reflected in the park so that the animals feel as much at home as possible. All this is already very impressive of course, but in addition Artis also has the largest Planetarium in the Netherlands. We definitely recommend visiting this zoo when you stay in our park.
