On Ash Wednesday, I drove the two kids to the Dierenrijk Europa Zoo in Nuenen which was 30 mins from our house. It was open free of charge for the visitors today because of the Carnival celebration (normal price EU$15.5/ea, kids above 3 to 11 years old are EU$13.95/ea). We got the news from the Groot Eindhoven on 18th, February
The Zoo Opening Guide
The welcome board
Despite the Asian elephants, black bear, etc, we found a lot of cold climate or desert animals as we only seen in the TV, like polar bear, highland cattle, European Lynx, European wolf, moose, etc. They are seldom seen in the Asian zoo.
The Pole fox
The camels
The kids saw many animals and played in the zoo's playgrounds with many Dutch kids (no Asian were seen). They were very happy. It is sure a paradise of the children.
