The 12 best zoos in and around Emmen Municipality

Lots of variety, nice walking trails :)

Highly recommended! We got a yearly subscription, so we come here very often. I love this zoo, its very big, a lot to see and many activities to do eg. Boat cruise, train ride and roller coster

Good place for both young and old. Also very handicap friendly. The jungle part was the best. The serengti area very big to get around. Far between animals. If the queue is long for the serengti train then don't bother not worth the wait. The roller-coaster was fun.

Just visit and enjoy, watch the several details everywhere!

Nice

Top!

Big places for the animals! 😍 Awesome and enough space to walk. Felt like a real safari.

I liked it. A huge Parc with different kinds of animals. A Highlight was the Safari Bus Ride.

One of the most beautiful parts of Wildlands Zoo. Especially the rope bridge pathway is very nice to do with younger kids though it can be a bit warm and the path is not as easy as it looks. Of course; don't forget to embark the boat!

Really Great

Pretty decent for a theme park restaurant, good quality but the drinks are overpriced

I really enjoyed my time there. At least you need 5 hours to explore the whole place.

Really awesome place for the animals. And great to walm trough.

Top!

(Translated by Google) Beautifully set up penguins, polar bears, seals, nice indication for children. Large accommodations. (Original) Mooi opgezet pinguïns ijsberen zeehonden mooie indicatie voor kinderen. Grote verblijven.

(Translated by Google) Spacious accommodation. Nice that you can look at the animals both above and underwater. The lady who explained the animals also explained it in good detail. (Original) Ruim verblijf. Leuk dat je zowel boven als onderwater naar de dieren kan kijken. De mevrouw die uitleg over de dieren gaf vertelde het ook goed in detail.

(Translated by Google) Here you can see the penguins, seals and polar bears up close (Original) Je kunt hier de pinguïns, zeehonden en ijsberen van dichtbij aanschouwen

(Translated by Google) Nortica is one of the three major themes that can be found in Wildlands. This Arctic part is very accessible, you can look the polar bears in the eye through the glass, you can almost give the penguins a high five from the ship and there is much more fun! From the Sonar station to the 4D ride, but there are also super fun slides for the kids, plenty of facilities and seating areas and toilets can also be found here. (Original) Nortica is één van de drie grote thema's welke in Wildlands te vinden zijn. Dit Arctische gedeelte is heel toegankelijk, je kunt de ijsberen door het glas in de ogen kijken, de pinguïns kun je bijna een high five geven vanaf het schip en zo is er nog veel meer leuks! Van het Sonar station tot de 4D ride, maar ook zijn er superleuke glijbanen voor de kids, voldoende faciliteiten en zitgedeelten en ook toiletten zijn hier te vinden.

(Translated by Google) Very nice "show" of a polar bear playing with a plastic bucket. He dragged him onto the shore and threw him back into the water and then tried to get him back onto the shore. (Original) Heel leuke "show" gekreggen van een spelende ijsbeer met een plastic emmer. Hij sleepte hem op de kant en gooide hem weer in het water om vervolgens weer op de kant proberen te krijgen.

(Translated by Google) Very nice accommodations and a nice attraction. I didn't quite understand the penguin/polar bear combination next to each other... am I at the north or south pole or should this represent both? The aquarium on site was also very disappointing. The 3 tanks present contained almost no fish and a single shark. But the atmosphere and surroundings are really beautifully created. (Original) Erg mooie verblijven en een leuke attractie. De combinatie pinguin/ijsbeer naast elkaar begreep ik niet helemaal... ben ik nu op de noord of zuidpool of moet dit beide voorstellen? Ook het aanwezige aquarium viel erg tegen. In de 3 aanwezige tanken zaten bijna geen vissen en een enkele haai. Maar de sfeer en omgeving is wel echt super mooi gemaakt.

(Translated by Google) Nice with beavers, owls and polar bears etc. (Original) Leuk met bevers, uilen en ijsberen enz

Great time! The zoo in Emmen is truly amazing! It’s very clean and well-maintained, and the indoor jungle is absolutely stunning – a real highlight. The animals live in environments that feel almost completely natural, which makes the whole experience even more special. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, the restrooms are spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. A wonderful place to visit – highly recommended!

Absolutely lovely place, so much to see and so very lovely done. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Great for everyone all ages. Indoor outdoor different things to see. Will be back.

Wildlands ZOO in Emmen is a truly wonderful destination for families with kids and toddlers. It’s not too small, but also not too large—absolutely suitable for a two-year-old energy vampire! The park also features a roller coaster and a 6D simulator for some extra fun. There are plenty of snack stands for when you—or your little tornadoes—get hungry. It’s great that there are some opportunities to interact with or touch certain animals. Another way to get closer to the wild side is by hopping on the safari truck or taking the boat ride. The curious giraffes are especially fun when they come right up to the viewing platforms. We spent around five hours there during the “summer days” when the park stays open until 21:00. Honestly, six hours would probably be the sweet spot if you have a toddler along with you.

Wow This is the best zoo I have ever visited. The ethos is to enable interaction with the animals wherever possible and in many areas there are no fences which enables this. Boat and safari type truck rides enable even closer interaction and the whole layout and design of the place couldn't be better. We visited on a weekday out of season and it wasn't that busy. I would imagine that weekend or at peak season the experience wouldn't be as good due to the potential about of people so would recommend a quieter time to enjoy it most. Food and drink prices are a bit high but the overall value for money is excellent.

We came from Utrecht by 2 hours driving, totally worth it! Good facility, new zoo from 2016, fairly modern facilities, gigantic tripical park is the highlight, feels like being in southeast Asia!

I was a little bit frustrated because I couldn't understand why the price was so high for such a small park. However, it costs them money. One thing we didn't like was the huge queue you had to wait in for getting a ride, especially when I was along with three children and there was a hidden queue by the trees (I wouldn't take it if I saw it) without a stroller (because you can't take it in a queue) for the 1-year-old... we were waiting for 1 hour, and the ride was only 5-7 minutes. Katastrophe! It spoiled all good feelings. However, the park is good. You feel really in touch with nature. There are a lot of cool animals. Butterflies and hippos were our top picks. Great workers are in the butterfly area. I would only not recommend you take the boat or safari; otherwise, everything was ok. P.S. And also, there is no info on the website that there is only central parking, so make sure that you park your car on Qpark, or you will have to take turns and wait longer.

We really liked this zoo. We stayed the hole day, with our kids, 7 and 9 years old and friends. The animals have a lot of space and the architects did a great job!

Fantastic!

(Translated by Google) This surprisingly large indoor playground provides hours of fun! So even when it rains you can have a good time here. The children can go on all types of slides, climb to the roof and cross to the next section. But you can also play in shallow water, there is a ship to play in and some rafts. There is also a large sandbox. In short, it is incredibly nice to sit here for a while, also for the parents. You can also crochet fries and drinks here and there are toilets! (Original) Deze verrassend grote binnenspeeltuin zorgt voor uren speelplezier! Dus zelfs bij regen kun je hier goed vertoeven. De kinderen kunnen op alle soorten glijbanen, klimmen tot aan het dak en op die manier oversteken naar een volgend gedeelte. Maar ook kan er in ondiep water worden gespeeld, er is een schip om in te spelen en wat trekvlotten. Tevens is er een grote zandbak. Kortom, ongelooflijk leuk om hier even lekker te zitten, ook voor de ouders. Je kunt hier ook patatjes en drinken haken en er zijn toiletten!

(Translated by Google) Indoor play paradise located in the Wildlands zoo. Children spent more than an hour and a half here and still didn't want to leave. Hope to discover and do. There is also a section with water, so next time bring some swimwear and a towel. They can go their own way. Also nice sights for every visitor. There is a huge aquarium on the ground floor at the entrance and some small aquariums on the 1st floor. (Original) Overdekt speelparadijs gelegen in de dierentuin van Wildlands. Kinderen hebben hier ruim anderhalf uur gezeten en wilden alsnog niet weg. Hoop te ontdekken en te doen. Er is ook een deel met water, dus volgende keer ook wat zwemkleding mee en handdoek. Kunnen ze helemaal hun gang gaan. Ook nog leuke bezienswaardigheden voor iedere bezoeker. Op begaande grond bij de ingang een enorm aquarium en op 1e verdieping nog wat kleine aquariums.

(Translated by Google) Super! The children aged 3 and 6 were hard to get away! Ate something upstairs and then the children were out for a good 2 hours! Really cool indoor playground! This is totally worth it! Huge and really clean and tidy! Clearly a must for every visit! (Original) Super! Die Kinder 3 und 6 Jahre waren kaum weg zu bekommen! Haben oben was gegessen und dann waren die Kinder gute 2h unterwegs ! Richtig cooler Indoor Spielplatz! Das lohnt sich total! Riesengroß und echt sauber und ordentlich! Ganz klar ein Muss für jeden Besuch!

(Translated by Google) It was super fun, cool stuff, high slide. Great to play. (Original) Het was super leuk, toffe dingen hoge glijbaan. Geweldig om te spelen.

(Translated by Google) A great place for children to have some fun and for parents to relax a bit. Restaurant, tables, sandbox, aquariums, boats, crocodile jumping. Great fun (Original) Świetne miejsce dla dzieci, żeby się wyszalały i dla rodziców, żeby trochę odetchnęli. Restauracja, stoliki, piaskownica, akwaria, łódeczki, skakanie po krokodylach. Super zabawa

(Translated by Google) Nicely set up, fun climbing tour. It's just a shame that there is almost nothing for the little ones. It is very dark inside. It's great fun for older children, who can spend the whole day here! (Original) Mooi opgezet, leuke klimtocht. Alleen jammer dat er bijna niks voor de aller kleinste is. Het is binnen wel erg donker. Voor wat oudere kinderen is het erg leuk, die kunnen hier de hele dag wel zoet zijn!

(Translated by Google) Super sweet groomer who knows dogs and has a talent for using scissors to make your dog shine again! (Original) Super lieve trimster met verstand van honden en heeft talent om te toveren met een schaar om je hond weer te laten shinen!

(Translated by Google) Shannon was incredibly sweet and patient with our pup. First we got to know each other, sniffed around to create a positive experience. Just clipped a few nails and in 14 days we have a new ‘pedicure appointment’. Recommended! (Original) Shannon was ontzettend lief en geduldig voor onze pup. Eerst even kennismaken, snuffelen een positieve ervaring creëren. Heel even een paar nageltjes geknipt en over 14 dagen hebben we een nieuwe ‘pedicure-afspraak’. Aanrader!

(Translated by Google) Our 2 Pomchis always come back perfectly cut and completely happy! Even with the newest (traumatized) addition, Shannon has a lot of patience! And the other one is completely in love with her and thinks it's a pleasure to be pampered in the salon again!! Really recommended! (Original) Onze 2 Pomchi’s komen altijd perfect geknipt en helemaal happy terug! Zelfs met de nieuwste ( getraumatiseerde ) aanwinst heeft Shannon enorm veel geduld! En de andere is helemaal verliefd op haar en vind het een pretje om weer verwend te mogen worden in de salon!! Echt een aanrader!

(Translated by Google) Super nice grooming salon. Shannon has a lot of knowledge about her profession, love and attention for the dogs and has a beautiful and neat salon! Bailey and I are very satisfied! (Original) Super fijne trimsalon. Shannon heeft veel kennis over haar vak, liefde en aandacht voor de honden en heeft een mooie en nette salon! Bailey en ik zijn erg tevreden!

(Translated by Google) Boris Positive about Lion's Grooming Salon 🐾🐾. Boris visited Shannon again last Tuesday. This trip, the gentleman had a considerable backlog with combing etc. Also because I unfortunately can't do it physically anymore. Explained how and why it didn't work anymore Shannon was very understanding and we'll see next time if there should be a short time in between Boris came home happy 🥚 Very satisfied with the whole picture 🐾🐾 (Original) Boris Positief over Lion’s Trimsalon 🐾🐾. Boris is afgelopen dinsdag weer bij Shannon geweest. Deze reis had meneer behoorlijke achterstand met kammen ectr Mede dat ik het helaas lichamelijk niet meer kan. Uitgelegd hoe en waarom het niet meer is gelukt Shannon had er alle begrip voor en kijken volgende keer of er korte tijd moet tussen gaat worden Boris is weer als een blij 🥚 thuis gekomen Dik tevreden over het totale plaatje 🐾🐾

(Translated by Google) Great salon. My dog ​​came home so relaxed and happy after her appointment. (Original) Fijne salon. Mijn hond kwam zo relaxed en blij na haar afspraak.

(Translated by Google) Went to Lion's Teimsalon for the first time and was extremely satisfied. Definitely coming back! (Original) Voor de eerste keer bij Lion's Teimsalon geweest en uiterst tevreden. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!!

😁 FLOP

(Translated by Google) It is very nicely landscaped. The boat trip was very nice. You sail past the elephants and see various monkeys from the boat. It was wonderful for the children to be able to sit quietly in the boat. They found the part where you go through a cave with a lot of fog quite exciting. There is 1 boat within this attraction that can accommodate wheelchairs. This bio tour is therefore also accessible for people in wheelchairs. (Original) Het is erg mooi aangelegd. De boottocht was erg leuk. Je vaart langs de olifanten en ziet vanaf de boot verschillende apen. Voor de kinderen was het heerlijk om even rustig in het bootje te kunnen zitten. Zij vonden het stukje waarbij je door een grot gaat waar een hoop mist in staat wel even spannend. Er is 1 boot binnen deze attractie waar rolstoelen in kunnen. Voor de mensen in een rolstoel is deze biotocht dus ook toegankelijk.
