Apenheul

In 1971 the Apenheul Zoo opened on an area of 11 hectares in Apeldoorn. Contrary to the usual variety of animals in other institutions, Apenheul has specialized in keeping primates. There are over 60 different types of monkeys in the park. A special feature is that many of the animals can roam freely in the park. Direct contact between animals and humans is thus possible. Only more dominant animals, such as gorillas, are in their own enclosure. Experience bonobos, blue-eyed lemurs and golden-headed lion tamarins in a single day.
