Apenheul was founded in 1971 and is a zoo given over to primates. Ticket prices vary by day and time, with one rate for children aged 3 to 12 and another for everyone 13 and over, and booking online takes up to €6 off the regular price, depending on the ticket.
The free-roaming areas set the park’s rules. Dogs are not allowed inside, to protect both the animals and the visitors, and a bag that does not close properly is a problem among the monkeys, which is why the park lends out monkey-proof bags. The feeding presentations can be moved or cancelled in bad weather.
The terrain is the thing to plan around. The park is hilly, and although it is wheelchair accessible, the primate treetop walk and the bridge in the king colobus and talapoin area are not. Apenheul has no wheelchairs of its own; a limited number can be borrowed, for a refundable €1 deposit, at the Park Berg & Bos entrance opposite the car park.
