Almere (Dutch pronunciation: [ɑlˈmeːrə] ( listen)) is a planned city and municipality in the province of Flevoland, Netherlands, bordering Lelystad and Zeewolde.

Four of them feature official district or borough offices.

From Amsterdam, we took a train from Central Station to meet our guide Taco at the Almere stop near Oostvaardersplassen wetlands. It was easy to prearrange everything on-line from his website. He sent perfect instructions on our meeting place. He provided transportation to several wonderful birding sites. We saw 50 species, 20 of which were 'lifers' for us. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area, and about the birds. Because we went on September 20th (2017) we were able to see some migrating birds too.
2. Stichting Aap

Stichting AAP provides shelter for primates of any kind. I've been a long term financial supporter of this institute and I would highly encourage everyone to consider making a (small) donation. AAP is located at 'De Kemphaan' and you can freely wander around the small public area to see some primates in their play area. Just a few steps away is a restaurant, a biological shop and a small "petting zoo" for children and the area offers options for just strolling around and enjoy a nice sunny walk.
Highly recommended to spend an hour or two when you're in the area. And again, please consider making a small contribution to AAP.
3. City Mall Almere

Although there is a wide range of shops, neither of these is surprising enough to bring a visit to Almere's city centre.
Most shops belong to a chain of business, which can be found in every European city: ZARA, H&M, etc.
The dining and drinking facilities are certainly not spectacular.
Only for those who are lovers of modern architecture, visiting Almere City Mall can be worth the effort.

Reviewed By Agarratequevoy - Valencia, Spain
Ideal to spend a whole morning or a whole day, with adults and especially kids. Saturday morning is the organic market and you can buy your bio groceries there or enjoy a nice fresh orange juice with real apple cake. You can also go around and see the apes that roam next to the lake, or sit at the restaurant and enjoy some food (any day, not only Saturday). The space is perfect to stroll and there is even a maze and plenty of animals to see. Also in the area there is an adventure park for the whole family with ziplines for all ages. All in all, is a wonderful place to be and spend some relaxing hours!
5. Almere Jungle

In ons dierenopvangcentrum waant u zich in de woestijn en Zuid-Amerikaanse jungle. Een fraaie tropische tuin met mooie waterpartijen waar de dieren in hun natuurlijke omgeving worden verzorgd.

My grandson came to visit so The Jungle was something he would really enjoy.
Well The Jungle was beyond our expectations. All the animals were well fed, well kept and moreover very exotic. My grandson loved the fact that some of the animals such as the chickens he had on the farm of his other grandparents.
I will higly recommend The Jungle to any family with kids. Keep up the good work.

This centre is situated in the famous Oostvaardersplassen, full of Dutch wildlife. It's an informational centre, where you can have a look on the "savanna" of the Netherlands. You also can enjoy a drink or a bite.
8. De Nieuwe Bibliotheek

Reviewed By Huurman1968 - Almere, The Netherlands
This library is one that follows the need of technology and changes that are required from its visitors. By doing things slightly different the library has a chance to survive the upcomming changes that also requires a certain flexibility.
For those who are interested the city archives are also housed in the same building aswell as a small theatre and café for a snack or a lunch.
9. Theatergezelschap Vis a Vis

Reviewed By Katja S - Maastricht
Omdat we van ver kwamen zagen wij de voorstelling overdag, van 15.00 tot 16.15. De tribune was afgeladen vol met jong en oud. Er is van alles te genieten: visueel en auditief. Toch is ook voor doven de voorstelling heel goed te volgen! Erg grappige vondsten zoals een onderwatertaxi, een drijvend dak, iets dat wordt voortbewogen door een heen en weer bewogen strijkplank, een in twee gezaagd lichaam. Vrolijk uitgedoste acteurs die de hele voorstelling op, maar vooral in en onder het water doorbrengen. De inventiviteit spat ervan af.
10. Corrosia Theater, Expo & Film
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Corrosia Theater, Expo & Film is hét kunstencentrum van Almere met kunst aan de muren en kunst op de planken. We bieden een avontuurlijk en toegankelijk programma, van beeldende kunst, dans, theater en muziek tot film, debat en literatuur.
Reviewed By HappyD1000 - Almere
De voorstellingen zijn niet van het genre recht toe recht aan. Ze prikkelen de geest of brengen nieuwe kunstuitingen of experimenten naar voren.
