Visit to ARTIS, the oldest zoo in the Netherlands, in the heart of Amsterdam.

Nature, culture and heritage come together in ARTIS. ARTIS is a meeting place which brings nature close to you in an inventive way and facilitates debates about how people value, understand and treat nature. From the smallest to the largest forms of life, in ARTIS you'll see something new every day. Be surprised by the many animal species which live with and between each other in the Monkey House and Bird House. Travel to space and back in only 25 minutes during one of the many shows in the ARTIS Planetarium. Come face to face with the Asian elephants while they swim in the water.Walk among the free roaming red ruffed lemurs on Lemur Island, watch the netgiraffes together with Grevý zebras and big kudu on the Savannah. Surround yourself with hundreds of fluttering butterflies in the Butterfly Pavilion and imagine yourself in a tropical rainforest in the Tropical Greenhouse. Stroll through the historic city park with more than 700 trees and many plants. Since June 2020 ARTIS is officially a Botanical Garden. Are you hungry? Then stop by one of our restaurants. ARTIS makes conscious choices about the food and drink in the park. There are many sustainable products, organic coffee and tap water.

Clean air for everyone. ARTIS is smoke-free.
