Experience Artis

Amazement and relaxation

Artis in Amsterdam is the oldest zoo in the Netherlands since 1838. It is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Amsterdam and attracts approximately one million visitors each year. The 19th-century buildings give Artis a unique historical atmosphere. In the monumental Aquarium, you can see beautiful exotic fish. In the Planetarium, you travel through space, and in the Butterfly Pavilion, you can see hundreds of butterflies.

Take a stroll through the historic city park, the oldest city park in Amsterdam with ancient trees and a large collection of special plants. The zoo houses more than 900 animal species. The new Ape House has a tropical forest where various animal species live together. In addition to the trees in the park, there are also several themed gardens, such as the Dutch and Japanese gardens.
