For everyone’s safety there a number of measures that have been taken within ARTIS. When visiting ARTIS there will be a separated entrance and exit. The narrow paths are turned into one-way paths. Furthermore, busy spots are indicated. ARTIS will also be cleaned more frequently and we have installed extra hand-washing stations in the zoo. To accommodate social distancing, we have moved the seats in outdoor seating areas and other areas within ARTIS further apart. For more information on measures within ARTIS, please go to the Artis website.Visit the zoo in Amsterdam
ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo was the first zoo to be established in the Netherlands, and it’s located right in the centre of Amsterdam. It’s a place where nature and cultural heritage come together; a place where history has been created since 1838 and where new stories are created daily. Come experience them for yourself.More than a Zoo
