Dierenpark Zie-ZOO, Zoo in Maashorst, Netherlands
Dierenpark Zie-ZOO is a zoo featuring five distinct natural habitats designed to recreate different environments from around the world. The park houses snow leopards, African wild dogs, American black bears, and green anacondas among its animal residents.
The zoo was established as the first facility of its kind in the Netherlands, combining professional animal care with support services for people with autism. This founding concept continues to shape its operations and mission.
The zoo structures its exhibits across five biotopes representing water, sand, grass, forest, and mountain environments, reflecting different global habitats.
The zoo is accessible during daylight hours and the grounds are designed to accommodate different walking paces. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and prepare for outdoor conditions, as most of the park is open-air.
The zoo offers work and training opportunities for people with autism, involving them actively in park operations. This integration goes beyond typical animal viewing experiences.
