Kinderboerderij De Lenspolder, Petting zoo in Nieuwpoort, Belgium
Kinderboerderij De Lenspolder is a learning farm in Nieuwpoort with goats, sheep, rabbits, and various duck species in outdoor enclosures and stables. The facility includes animal areas and separate spaces for hands-on activities such as bread baking and paper making.
The farm was established in the Lenspolder area and grew into an educational space for agriculture and animal care. Over time, specialized learning spaces were added to pass on practical knowledge.
The facility connects children with farming traditions by letting them interact directly with animals and understand where food comes from. Visitors experience how farms work and why caring for animals matters in daily life.
The grounds are open Tuesday through Sunday with regular visiting hours in the morning and afternoon. School groups can book special programs, and workshops are available for different age groups.
The grounds feature two dedicated bio-learning spaces where visitors can learn bread baking and paper making. These hands-on activities complement the animal experience with craft skills that are rarely found in this setting today.
