- Pete and Sar GearingAuckland Central, New Zealand242 contributionsIt is a stunning place that allows you to peek into Dutch royalty. It is wonderful and beautifully maintained, and the gardens are wonderful. It is a must to view the place from the palace roof.
Food and drinks are lekker, and the service is great and efficient.Written 20 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We did manage to walk amongst monkeys but due to it being so busy they did seem to hide away.
They appear to be looked after well. Lots of information boards and places to eat.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Though the past reviews mentioned this place was not for English speakers. However, our experience was completely different. We were provided with an English insrtuction sheet and the instructor delivered a training in English in a friendly manner. All the obstacle courses were well signed and it was a lot of fun. The best family experience witn teens! The place do not provide food (just a casual consession stand with pops, juice and icecream), so I recommend to eat something before you go. Bathrooms were clean and they also provide a locker space.Written 19 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dennis EAlphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands235 contributionsThe area looks amazing and has some nice spots to hang around, especially for families with children. There's the awesome monkey park and a large zipline area for children. There are deer and hogs in enclosed areas and a lovely looking 'lake' with lots of flowers and a big fountain. Apeldoorn itself has more areas like these around as well as the nature reserve nearby. Definitely worth a weekend trip!Written 4 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas SAlmere, The Netherlands50 contributionsA fun day out with the family! We enjoyed the trip back and forth from Apeldoorn and the layover at the "remise" gave us a chance to see a lot of cool, old trains. The on-board catering has friendly personnel and decent coffee.Written 10 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rune GAarhus, Denmark6 contributionsWe visited the park with our small children aged 2 and 5. The petting animals and the small bicycles where an instant success. We had a lovely day st the park. It's clean and well maintained and there's lots of fun for young children. But.... If you don't speak Dutch it can be very hard to find your way around the park. All information, website, posters, flyers etc are in Dutch. The young staff at the cafeteria could unfortunately not understand us, but we did get some food though :) another thing was that a visa and Mastercard sticker was shown at the entrance, but I could only pay with Mastercard at the cafeteria. Luckily we had some cash.
All in all it was a fantastic trip, but the park should consider that foreigners also visit the park.Written 17 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It has been cultivated over a period of 300 years! A very pleasant area to walk through because of the variety of nature presentations and the presence of wild life such as deer.
Oak and fir forest, brooks and ponds, moors and meadows, all accessible by well maintained trails. The longest route is just under 15 km. Hard to imagine that until recently just one family and their guests could enjoy the landscapes. Now open to the general public, but -very Dutch- payment is required.
Entry fee: 2€ for a one day pass.Written 12 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

At first especially from the rich villa neighborhood in which it is located, later on also from the general population of Apeldoorn. It is much smaller than the Oranje family backyard at Het Loo, but more conveniently situated on the margins of Apeldoorn' s center.
English lanscape is the dominant style of the park plan with curved paths, pondlike bodies of water, fountain, grassy lawns with beautiful flower beds and majestic tall trees. Excellent for some relaxation after in my case an exhausting cycling tour from Rotterdam 135 km away.Written 13 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel_M8_007Apeldoorn, The Netherlands47 contributionsWe went for a christmas concert and it a very nice old church with good acoustics and a nice, simple and clean interior.
It's close to the city centre, roughly 5 minute walk. It's walking distance to the Paleis het Loo.Written 26 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WimpyAusSydney, Australia14 contributionsGreat place to spend a few hours with kids on a warm day. Setting is unique. As with most pools in the Netherlands, don't assume there will be lanes roped off for lap swimming. It's all about having fun. The competition pool is a free for all on a busy weekend. On the flip side, on colder rainy days, you can often get the entire competition pool to yourself! Check the opening times as they are limited in the shoulder season.Written 27 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Annet and Wim EApeldoorn, The Netherlands164 contributionsThey kiss each other, but sometimes not, then we can see abstract lines against the sky.
The monumental new needle, a wedding gift from the Apeldoornse population to crown prince Willem Alexander and princess Maxima, is flaunting at the station square since 2007.
The 17-meter-high sculpture, designed by Jeroen Henneman (born 1942 in Haarlem), is a contemporary variant of the classic obelisk. The order is inspired by the needle of Pieter Puype which in 1901 by the residents of Apeldoorn was offered to Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrik.
Henneman made his ultimate Kiss, a spatial drawing of stainless steel. The slim tower hurls itself elegant up, ending in an embrace in the air. A symbol of love and a beautiful memorial for the princely couple.
Posted next to the railway station, in the middle of the hustle and bustle of daily life, the picture is a meeting point. The pedestal of natural stone functions as a bank. On the station square of Apeldoorn you have a date near the Kiss, can it be more beautiful?Written 23 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
