Burger's Zoo

You won't want to miss this! Described as “My favorite place in the Netherlands!” by one of our employees, Burger's Zoo is an experience you’ll truly enjoy. Burger’s Zoo is located in Arnhem and is one of the largest and most popular zoos in the Netherlands. Burger’s Zoo features massive indoor exhibits, such as mangroves, a rainforest, a desert, and even Europe’s largest living coral reef. Since a large part of the park is indoors, you’re sure to have a great time at Burger’s Zoo, whether it’s raining or cold!

Walibi Netherlands

Another one of the top 4 activities. If you're looking for thrills, visit Walibi Netherlands in Biddinghuizen! This theme park, formerly known as Six Flags Holland, has 5 high-speed roller coasters and many other attractions. In October, the park hosts its Halloween-themed "Fright Nights" event, featuring lots of spooky actors and various haunted houses. You're guaranteed to get a scare!

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

If you're interested in art, culture, and history, you really should visit the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam! Here you’ll find more than 8,000 exhibits of works of art and historical artifacts, including the famous painting “The Night Watch.” However, if you’re interested in visiting the Red Light District and have some time to spare, consider visiting one museum after another! Amsterdam has so many museums—it’s incredible. Amsterdam is also home to the famous Van Gogh Mmuseumwhich is definitely worth a visit.
