Visit ARTIS Zoo, one of the five oldest zoos in the world, and see animals, historic buildings, gardens, and exhibitions in the center of Amsterdam.
See monumental buildings, explore the botanical gardens, and stroll through the park to see Asian elephants and their young calves, or visit the newly renovated Kerbertterras, a Madagascar-inspired shared environment where ring-tailed lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, and radiated tortoises live together.
Your general admission ticket offers a complete experience, including entry to two major highlights. Journey into space at the ARTIS Planetarium to learn about stars, planets, and space exploration, or explore life underwater at the historic ARTIS Aquarium, which recently reopened after a major five-year renovation to showcase vibrant coral reefs and the aquatic life of Amsterdam's canals.
If you visit during the May holiday period, children can also participate in special educational activities, including birdwatching and learning about elephants as a WWF ranger.
To round out your visit, the park features several vegetarian restaurants, along with daily zookeeper talks about animals such as jaguars and Asian elephants.
