Artis Royal Zoo, originally known as Natura Artis Magistra, is the oldest zoo in the Netherlands.  The zoo was founded in 1838 to promote knowledge of natural history. But there's much more to the zoo than just animals! The park contains 27 different monuments and several historical buildings. There's a planetarium, which presents several different shows daily. The zoological library is open to the public. And last but not least, there is a magnificent restaurant on the grounds.

Want even more? Add a visit to Micropia to your ticket. This award-winning museum celebrates microbes and the invisible yet impactful roles they play in our lives.

Your ticket will be e-mailed directly to you shortly after your booking is complete. Bring a printed copy with you, or present the ticket on your mobile phone.
