Apenheul Primate Park
Apenheul
The world's first primate park where monkeys roam freely among visitors, and squirrel monkeys may leap onto your shoulders.
Apenheul, founded in 1971 in the woods of Apeldoorn, keeps some 30-plus primate species. Many small monkeys wander freely through the park and can be seen up close, while gorillas and orangutans live in island-style enclosures. Before entering, visitors must place their bags in monkey-proof bags. The park has seasonal opening (closed in winter). Tickets cost about 30 euros, and it can be combined with the Kröller-Müller Museum on the same day.
Opening hours
Approx. April–November 10:00–17:00
