1. Burgers' Zoo and Safaripark
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,987 reviews
On March 31, 1913, Faisanterie Buitenlust, the forerunner of the current modern animal park Burgers' Zoo, opens its doors to the public for the first time. Since its foundation by Johan Burgers, the first owner and the one who named the animal park in Arnhem, the park has always remained a real family business. Already from its inception the zoo caused a sensation due to its daring new organisation, which naturally is in the way the animals' accommodations are shaped as well as in the way the experiences for the visitors are created. Burgers' Zoo has a rich history, which has shaped the zoo into the way it is today, and as you can still find it now in the wooded area just north of Arnhem.

We always enjoy a trip to the Zoo so burgers zoo was the logical conclusion for our next destination. Overall a lovely trip with amazing different areas. Be ready to stay for 5-6 hours for a relaxed walkthrough. Highlights:Djungle and mangrove area.

We have been to Apenheul before. This time we went with the grand parents and the children a lot older. It was still fun. Whether it is the free roaming squirrel monkeys, lemurs or macaques or the lovely displays of bonobos, orangutans or gorillas, the park is entertaining. In addition, there is plenty of catering. An excellent place to visit, with or without children.

The Netherlands Open Air Museum (Nederlands Openluchtmuseum) takes you back into the past of every day life of ordinairy Dutch people. The museum lies in a beautiful park on the outskirts of the vibrant city of Arnhem. There is so much to see. Meet the museum staff who appear to have stepped straight out of the past. Proud of their heritage they will inspire you with their stories. For young and old alike, a visit to the museum is an unforgettable experience. Feast your senses on stories, smells, flavours and images that will take you back to days gone by. Whatever your age, the living history will make a lasting impression, bringing back memories and astonishing you by turns. Immerse yourself in the past and get to know the Dutch people and their history.

We found this place quite by accident whilst looking for things to do in the area whilst on holiday and I can honestly say it was one of the highlights of our holiday. It is a living museum showing the history of Dutch farming, craftsmen and lots more besides. The majority of the buildings are original and have been relocated to this place from their original sites throughout he country, some of which were over 100years old. There was so much to see and do, lots of beautiful windmills and and there were signs in English explaining the history of everything. There was an ice rink as it was winter and a fairground with lots of little stalls selling things to eat and drink. A old style tram was available to go around the place if you didn't want to walk. An amazing place which we would definitely go back to.
4. muZIEum

What is it like to be blind or partially sighted? You can read about it or someone can tell you about it from their own experience, but during a visit to muZIEum (muSEEum) you will experience it yourself. Enter a world in which your other senses - hearing, smell, touch and taste - suddenly play a far more important role than you are used to.

Me and my sister grew up in Nijmegen, but had nog done the outside experience from the Muzieum yet. We do recommend it. They have very nice guides who have really bad sight who come with you and they tell you their story. You can ask all your questions. Also their is a seeing guide who comes as well. They show you around and with the VR glasses on you can experience different eye illnesses and how it is to live and walk with such an illness. You have your stick to feel the ground. An interesting experience everyone should do. It is a real eye opener because you get to know things you otherwise would never think about. Why certain decisions are made etc.

Park in the Arnhem city center with nice little lakes, fountains, theme gardens and lots of space to enjoy a picnic. We went for the “stadsvila” for lunch.

Just a beautiful place to visit. So much is pedestrianised so safe to walk around. A very photogenic place.
9. Valkhof Park

Reviewed By Anmar68 - Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
It never starts to bore me, historical places like this. To know that hundreds of years ago people lived here, enting and drinking and hopefully happy. It is on a small Hill in a park where you have a beautiful photographic spot of the river De Waal and the Waalbridge. During the Second World War there was a huge battle over this bridge. In the touristic center (called the VVV) people can give more information.

Went for a walk around Nijmegen and found Grotemarkt. Great place to take in some traditional historic buildings/sights and to sit and watch the town go by over a coffee in one of the areas cafes on a sunny Sunday morning.
