(August 2025) One of the best zoos that I have visited. All the animals looked content and happy, the housing settlements looked fun, with plenty of food and no pacing, or balding spots on the animals. Lots of fun little things for the kids, like slides, and tunnels, plus little activities throughout. The park was clean and had a lovely vibe 💜 I highly recommend this place (Cost me 30 euros to get in) and I spent 5 hours here - there were also suncream dispensers! some little rides and a boating activity as well to do, including walking over a rope bridge to see the bears which was cool. I had a very pleasant visit 💜

Beautiful park, especially the Japanese garden, Roman colosseum themed lions cage and Indian Palace themed tigers cage. We got lost all the time though, the sneak through adventure paths (some of these the only way to see all the animals) made us easily loose all sense of direction. The free map was invaluable, therefore. Delicious sandwiches and snacks in the large restaurant halfway in the park, and when something ran out they immediately made new fresh ones. A peek in the animals kitchen was very interesting too! We were exhausted from all the extra walks to find the route again but overall had a lovely day.

This is a very nice zoo. It is not too big and feels sort of cozy, but there is really lots to see and do. We loved the new chimpanzee quarters! The kids enjoyed the playgrounds and the Dino Forrest!

We go to DierenPark Amersfoort regularly (we live in Amsterdam but it's worth the drive) and it never disappoints. The park is beautifully laid out, with lots of green areas and enclosures that make you feel really close to the animals. What makes it extra special for us is how kid-friendly it is — there are slides, tunnels, and special walkways throughout the park that turn the visit into a real adventure for children. On top of that, there are two really big playgrounds where the kids can run, climb, and play for ages, as well as a fun carousel and even a little train that drives through the zoo. It means there’s always something exciting to do in between visiting the animals, and it keeps the whole day varied and fun. The variety of animals is fantastic and there is also a really big dinosaur section with 1:1 sized dinosaurs, which is something not every zoo offers. It’s a place my kids are always excited to come back to. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a fun and unique day out.

Underneath a canopy you can admire a large selection of the animal kingdom. The zoo offers a great mix of experiences for families, dog owners, animal lovers and even dino enthusiasts. My family loves it every time. Many animal pens have add on activities, like a climbing track at the bear pen. The experience of being surrounded by howling wolves is second to none. The playgrounds could use some love, but they are safe and fun. The food could be more nutritious. The theme integration is fun too, like a gladiator at the lions.

It's a great place for a family outing, with a large playground for both toddlers and children. There are many animals that appear to be well-maintained and in good condition. It's easily accessible and has plenty of parking. The interior is shady and full of trees beautiful natural. There are chairs to sit and rest and clean bathrooms.

A very beautiful zoo in the center of The Netherlands. Enough parkingspace, on ground level as in the parking garage. It's situated on the outer ring of Amersfoort. The entree fee is medium priced, yet there are options to get a discount from stores or simply by searching in Google. The park itself is very beautiful, lots of space and really close to the animals. You can even interact with small mammels like Meercats who are walking beside the visitors. Food and drinks are also medium priced but the portions are good. You'll find the spots throughout the whole park. Smoking prohibited except a few spots. A very nice park to have a day out with your kids too. They were awarded different prices, also because childfriendly is their power and you will not be dissapointed! The small railway and waterboats are payed with Zoo-coins, you'll find the machines near the attractions (waterboat €5,-, total). Have fun!

A lovely landmark. Benches around so if you get tired from walking, you could always sit down and admire the view or see people in their bicycles around.

Must-see historical gem! The Koppelpoort is absolutely worth visiting - it’s the only combined land-water gate in the Netherlands and dates back to around 1425. Time your visit for summer and you might catch the cannon demonstrations by De Stadskanonniers - quite a spectacle! Fun fact: if you were caught drunk and fighting in medieval times, your punishment was operating the water gate mechanism, literally running like a rat in a wheel. This is where the Dutch term “raddraaier” (troublemaker) comes from! Beautiful medieval architecture, perfect for photos, and great for history buffs. Definitely add this to your Amersfoort itinerary!

There is a lovely walk between the 2 gates.

I passed by and sat in the park nearby. As far as I know, there are NO tours here. But it's beautiful, so who cares? Take a bunch of pictures from the bridge. Come back at different times of the day and take the same pictures. Then decide which one you love best. Mine is late twilight.

Very pretty. Too bad the Three Rings craft brewery had taken an unscheduled holiday when I visited. It would have been great to sit by the water and sip a beer.

The main gate of the medieval city of Amersfoort is an impressive sight. Sadly, the access to the fortification's interior is restricted. I'm giving only three stars because the overall experience was marred by the unpleasant smell emanating from the dirty water.

An very nice an old entrance gate to the town. There are also tours for this, which explains the history. We walked around and enjoyed the great weather. It is a very good motive for fotos.

I didn't get a chance to go inside, but this building has a towering presence over Amersfoort. You can see it from almost anywhere in the town. If you ever get lost, its easy to find your way back to it. Its regal and looks amazing during both day and night. Wish I could have done the tour.

An iconic landmark and true symbol of the city. While its interior is not particularly impressive, you can book tickets to reach the top and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. It's advisable to secure your tickets well in advance, as demand is very high

If you’re visiting the city this has to be on your list. The history behind the tower is fascinating to say the least and the view form the top is super nice! Let it be noted it does take a lot of physical effort to climb and the stairway up is very narrow. So if you’re claustrophobic or not very stable on your feet this is not for you. Book online so you have a slot! If you don’t speak Dutch a English handout is given and you’re encouraged to ask as many questions as you’d like.

A beautiful tower with a great view and rich history. I was visiting friends and we went on a tour up the tower. Even though the rest of the group was Dutch the guide gave me a summary of what he was saying in between. so nice! Climbing the tower definitely demands some level of fitness and stability, cause the steps are tiny and narrow. As a person with claustrophobia I was still able to go up - but I admit that it took some courage. Still highly recommend and to my fellow anxiety people: you can do it. Just take your time and maybe it helps to walk as the last or first person. There are also bigger floors in between to stop.

Excellent place to visit. Guide and staff were very good. Beautiful building structure with a beautiful history. Stunning views and lots of steps. Very enjoyable

This is one of the most captivating tourist spots in the city of Amersfoort (in my view, it is the main attraction). The local guide is well-prepared, sharing loads of details and patiently answering all the tourists' questions. For those in good physical shape, and without health concerns (like heart/respiratory issues, or claustrophobia), climbing to the top of the tower is a breeze, especially with breaks on the intermediate floors. The price is quite reasonable — I'd even say that it's really cheap. The only downside is that some parts of the tower are not open to the public (i.e., the dungeon)

We weren’t able to go inside, but there’s a table inside where you can book on the spot. It’s a majestic and iconic place to take photos. Restaurants and pubs around too!

An iconic place to see! It’s near some canals, shops and benches to chill and watch the people around.

Nice city walls that you can see in several places. Interesting if you like history, fun if you like selfies. But they are (obviously) at the edfe of the old town so you need to get back for more interesting old houses and nice nooks

Nice place.

Really nice gate

Very cozy place

Loved it and history attached to it

Part of the original Amersfoort city defences

A wonderful museum in the artist's hometown. Visitors can admire many of his early works, along with personal belongings and a faithful reconstruction of his Paris studio. The highlight, however, was the final room, where you could create your own inspired pieces using LEGO, paper cutouts, and paints - a playful way to channel the creativity sparked by everything you had just seen.

Mondrian House offers an immersive experience of Piet's life and the evolution of his creativity. The 'birthplace' is purely a brick shell that houses a very white angular interior with glass roof voids. The art collection featuring original Mondriaan works is limited to one room, however the life story is elaborately reconstructed. Really engaging for kids.

The only downside of this museum is that there aren’t that many Mondrian works - though there are some totally unexpected ones! The exhibition itself is fascinating, with great storytelling, a stunning installation in one of the last rooms, and plenty of space for kids’ creativity - including a fun museum quest and a whole room for arts and crafts.

There are barely any painting from Mondriaan, and there is only one room that recreates his apartment in Paris. Had I paid the entrance fee instead of using my museum kaart, I would have felt ripped off. I spent about 45 minutes and I read and saw most of the descriptions and videos.

A really nice visit — small and cute museum that gives a great retrospective of Mondriaan’s life and work. There are always small guest exhibitions and some activities for children at the end, which is a fun addition. I especially enjoyed the surprise projection at the end. Just keep in mind there are no original artworks, so the whole experience takes about 20–30 minutes. Still well worth the stop!

A very nice place. The curators found a very creative and engaging way to tell about Mondrian's life and artistic style and its evolution. Great example of how you can make a place interesting without any major art works. 100% worth visiting if you are in the area.

A very small museum showcasing the personal history of Mondriaan. I don't recommend more than one hour. For museum card it's free entry so it's doable, but paying full price is not a very good idea.
