Burgers' Zoo

About

Burgers’ Zoo is one of Arnhem’s most celebrated attractions, offering an immersive journey through some of the world’s most remarkable ecosystems. Founded in 1913, the zoo is known for its pioneering “ecodisplay” concept, where visitors walk through vast, carefully recreated habitats rather than viewing animals in traditional enclosures. From the lush tropical Bush and the arid Desert to the vibrant Ocean and the serene Mangrove, each biome surrounds guests with the sights, sounds, and climate of its natural environment. Home to thousands of animals and a strong advocate for conservation and education, Burgers’ Zoo blends adventure with ecological awareness. Set on the wooded outskirts of Arnhem, it provides a full‑day experience for families, nature lovers, and anyone curious about the diversity of life on Earth.
