ARTIS-Park
At ARTIS, nature, culture and heritage come together. Every tree, every creature, every building, microbe, and planet has its own story. ARTIS has been telling these stories since 1838, and each day they are born anew. Experience it for yourself.
Be amazed by the many species living side by side in the Forest House and Bird House. Discover the tiniest organisms at Micropia, the world's only microbe museum. Take a trip through space inside the Planetarium. Watch the giraffes, zebras and springboks intermingling on the Savannah. Feel the fluttering of countless wings in the Butterfly Pavilion. Stroll through the historical city park with its centuries-old trees and wealth of plants. Delight your taste buds at café-restaurant de Plantage. Or relax in a chair near the fountain on Artisplein. Experience nature and discover its significance for our civilisation – because a better understanding of nature fosters greater respect for all life around us. The story of ARTIS is a story about ourselves.
