Berkenhof Tropical Zoo
Looking for a day full of adventure and surprises? Look no further than Berkenhof Tropical Zoo in Kwadendamme, where you will find a mini-jungle full of exotic beasts. Dare to hang a snake around your neck, or to catch a tarantula in your hands? Or would rather keep the iguanas, crocodiles and chameleons at arm’s length?

So, when can we expect to see you and your family for this great day out?
Alpaca Zeeland
Have you ever been close up to an alpaca? At Alpaca Zeeland in Nieuwdorp, you can make acquaintance with these inquisitive and friendly animals at close quarters. Children can get close up with the alpacas, touch them and even accompany them for a walk in the pastures, through the woods or along the edges of the fields. For an additional experience, the farm also organises picnics, high-tea or a special hike with the alpacas. Thanks to their calm and composed nature, alpacas are perfect for children’s activities in Zeeland.
