Antwerp Zoo

Antwerp Zoo

The Antwerp Zoo is in the heart of Antwerp and is full of play structures. Perfect for younger kids!

There is a small indoor butterfly garden. Our kids loved them!

The aquarium is also worth checking out

There are various play structures around the zoo. This makes it great for little kids!

We also turned a few things into play structures ourselves 🙂

There are also fun and educative games for kids around the zoo

There is a restaurant with tables near the main playground and a café closer to the entrance

There is another restaurant that looks like a small castle. This is next to a beautiful garden

And of course there are several animals

Our most favorite one was this one chilling out, too cool!

Here is the plan of the zoo with the various animals

This is right next to Chocolate Nation, the largest museum in the world on Belgian chocolate offering a magical multimedia experience for kids and grown ups. This is one of the best museums we have visited and our kids thoroughly enjoyed it! It is definitely worth a visit when you are in Antwerp

About 40 minutes by car N of Schuman, Brussels (or about 1 hour by train, the zoo is right next to the Antwerpen Centraal train station)
