Burgers' Zoo is consistently rated among Europe's finest zoos — not for its animal count, but for its breathtaking biome habitats: a tropical rainforest, a coral reef, a Saharan desert, and a mangrove, all under one roof. A genuine world-class wildlife experience.
What to expect
The Mangrove biome recreates a Southeast Asian river delta with spectral tree roots, saltwater crocs, and pygmy hippos with startling authenticity. Burgers' Bush — the vast indoor tropical rainforest — is so humid and verdant that you genuinely lose your bearings. The coral reef aquarium, one of Europe's largest, glows with chromatic brilliance. With tram rides between zones and spacious promenades, the pace is elegantly unhurried.
Good to know
Located just 3 km from Arnhem city centre — a 10-minute taxi ride. Pre-book tickets online as popular timeslots sell out, especially in summer. Allow a minimum of 3–4 hours. The park's restaurants serve proper Dutch and international cuisine — perfect for a relaxed mid-excursion lunch.
