DoeZoo

If you think nature is boring, then surely you've never had a snake around your neck? Or petted a skunk? Besides feeling and seeing, you will hear and smell huge amounts of animals at DoeZoo in Leens. And what about tasting them? Well... would you like a nice biscuit made of worms?

This surprising zoo just half an hour's drive from the city of Groningen is all about insects. There are loads of insects to see, as well as all kinds of animals that eat them. Owls, squirrels and frogs, for instance. But also lizards, snakes, spiders, monkeys and coatis. Many of the enclosures are outdoors, but there is also plenty to do inside. Handy when it rains. As soon as the sun shines again, you can go outside for the animals, the playground and the bouncy castle.

During a visit to DoeZoo, you walk past all the animals at your leisure. Just like in any other zoo. It only gets really special during the free guided tour. Suddenly you can get really close. Tickle a turtle under its chin. Or let a tarantula run over your arm. Of course, you can also watch from a distance. Meanwhile, the animals are explained to you and you can ask all the questions you can think of. There are many more activities during the school holidays. According to the ANWB, DoeZoo in Leens is one of the nicest outings in Groningen.

Want to watch seals too? You can also buy a combined ticket for the WEC in Lauwersoog and DoeZoo. With that, you visit two fun animal outings at a discount. And take your time. You don't have to use the tickets on the same day.
