Animal Farm, Free access zoo in Beverwijk, Netherlands
Animal Farm houses various species including crocodiles, ostriches, and porcupines in a small-scale setting on an island within Willem-Alexanderplantsoen park.
The facility evolved from a children's farm into a licensed Dutch zoo, expanding its collection to include exotic animals alongside domestic species.
The zoo operates primarily through dedicated volunteers who provide educational experiences and animal care while maintaining direct interactions with visitors.
The zoo welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 12:00 to 17:00, with free parking available in the adjacent residential area.
Animal Farm remains the sole free-admission zoo in the Netherlands, making animal encounters accessible to all members of the community.
