Owner's are idiots. They have two alpha predators kept in a small confinement expecting nothing to happen. They say its a one time thing..Ha what a joke. They say it happens in the wild. Very rarely and they have a ton more space vs this zoo. Idiots at it's finest. Don't go here.

We come here once or twice a year. When the weather is nice, but especially on a cold humid day. We finally go to make a pleasant walk of about 2 - 2.5 hours through this park. It is nice that we have seen it grow in those years, in terms of planting but also in terms of animals and animal enclosures.
I read a lot of complaints about the hospitality industry. But we don't come into a zoo to sit down for dinner and a bottle of water and a filled cookie are enough for us. With a few small children with you it may be a bit tricky but otherwise just bring a cooler bag with some food and drinks.
It's just a shame about the megalomaniacal thing to suddenly call Dierenrijk Eindhoven Zoo.
The zoo is located in Mierlo and there is no public transport to it.
Imagine if Artis were suddenly in Haarlem or something? Or Burger's Zoo no longer in Arnhem?
There is talk of enlargement and we think that is a good report. What we miss is a nice big aquarium or something like a butterfly garden (we go to Burgers every year to see the fish and butterflies).
However, it remains a nice walk, nice and close to home for us.

What a bad park in the Netherlands.
Concerns hospitality may be renewed.
Not a decent choice concerns food and they can also take allergies into account.
There may be more to offer regarding sandwiches, savoury or something hot.
Had you bought a ticket online concerning coffee or tea with cake was the one catering establishment no longer had cakes other catering establishment was already closed at noon around 2.30 pm when but the gamble taken at catering establishment entrance for cakes, were there at 14.45 the last 2 pieces of cake. The park was closed until 5:30 p.m.
I find this deeply sad.
They offer something with online tickets and afterwards they can't make it happen.
This park really needs an upgrade.
The only thing shared that is beautiful in this park is where the lions, rhinos, polar bears are.
So don't recommend this park to anyone.
Waste of money or your subscription.

Tickets can only be ordered online.
Price: € 17,50. However, if you click on order they are suddenly € 22.50. If you order them for more than 1 week later, they are cheaper. Very misleading.
Dierenrijk is a better name because the park is not in Eindhoven but Mierlo. Public transport is not a real option.
Hospitality is very expensive: 2 soft drinks over € 8,- !!!
It is a beautiful large neat zoo with lots of playground equipment in the park and large playgrounds. The new sand/water play area is a nice addition in the summer. Tours are very educational.

Had a fantastic visit at this zoo! I was there with my clients from my day trip (10 people in total). The reserved wheelchairs were ready, lunch was prepared and we had a top tour with volunteer Simone. She took all the time to inform us about the animals and we were allowed to feel / smell various materials related to the animals. We really enjoyed it! Thank you, we will definitely be back and compliments to the friendly staff!

This zoo is a paradise for children. There are playgrounds everywhere. Especially the water playground is fun! Park is beautifully landscaped and relatively clean. Atmosphere is good, but it is very busy (on a Saturday in the summer holidays). Few dots:
* In terms of food, you will not get any further here than fries or a sausage roll. Prices are pretty high. We spent more than 8 euros for two coffees.
* Some stays are very small. Precisely the carnivores that need it, like the wolves and lions, had a small surface area. We also saw no mental/physical enrichment in the animals' enclosures. As a result, for example, the wolves, bears and cheetahs were bored and walked the same circle around the edges of their enclosure. That's neurotic behavior and actually very pathetic.
*Public transport is not an option! However, it is so on the website. The nearest stop is 35 minutes walk along the bike path along the main road. When we got there, that bus turned out not to be running on the weekend. So we had to continue for another 25 minutes to the next stop. Can't the zoo figure something out about this? Accessibility is quite a priority, I think.

with residents of a healthcare institution. Due to an accident we had to go home/couldn't finish the day. The staff helped us well and came up with compensation for us.
Sander and Els thank you for the good care and we would love to come back

The arrogant zookeepers really don't understand how two alpha predators might act hostile towards each other in the same enclosure? Boggles the mind.

How foolish to put Wolves and bears in one Cage! A modern Zoo should be a realistic imitation of wildlife but surrounded by fences the Wolves are permanently in danger to be killed by the bears because they have no opportunity to flee like in freedom. It shows you are not interested in the wealth of the animals but in making money showing a risky attraction. The death of the Wolf is the fault of the incompetent management!

Absolutely disgraceful and negligent behaviour allowing two predators in the same enclosure. Like they’re not gonna end up fighting and dead? Nothing short of idiotic and clear lack of knowledge about the animals in your care.

De dichtstbijzijnde bushalte bevindt zich op de Geldropsedijk in Nuenen. Vanaf deze halte is het nog ongeveer 3,5 km lopen naar Dierenrijk. De dichtstbijzijnde stations zijn Station Eindhoven.
