Zoo Nordhorn

One of the most popular destinations in Bentheim is Nordhorn Zoo. The zoo, located on the Dutch border, receives more than 450,000 visitors every year, and for good reason. You can see up to 100 different species of animals on an area of ​​12 hectares. The animals live in large living spaces and many animal enclosures are accessible and it is even possible to pet the animals in some places. There are also many old pet breeds to see at the Vechtehof farm, which you can easily walk to thanks to a beautiful nature trail.

There is a large, sunny outdoor playground and when the weather is less, kids can also play indoors in the large indoor playground “Max Avonturenland”. It is very nice to look at the animal enclosures during feeding time, for example you can see how the wolves are fed or how the seals get their food. Parking in the large parking lot is free. Dog lovers can take their four-legged friends on a short leash. This way the whole family can have a fun day together! The zoo is open all year round. View all information and opening times here.
