Face to face with free-roaming monkeys
Experience the best day out among the monkeys in Apenheul! In this green nature park you will find 34 species of monkeys. More than half of the 300 monkeys even roam freely among the visitors. Can you spot them all? Come face to face with free-ranging monkeys, visit the feeding presentations of our zookeepers, play the monkey in one of the playgrounds and meet our new silverback Banjoko!

Visit two gorilla groups in 2024
Impressive powerhouses of up to 180 kilos: gorillas! Recognise yourself in the biggest, strongest and heaviest monkeys that exist. Find out what they eat, how fast they can run and flex your muscles: are you as strong as such an impressive silverback? Try it!

This year you will even spot a second gorilla man in Apenheul: Banjoko! Both silverbacks have their own island where they lead their own gorilla group. How do they keep the gorilla females under control? You will discover it in our beautiful and spacious park, in the middle of the forests of Apeldoorn on the Veluwe!
