Animal park

Playground

In the middle of greenery, just across the border in the municipality of Beesel, lies Natur- und Tierpark Brüggen. A nice place where young and old enjoy animals, nature and fun. Whether you come for a leisurely stroll past the animals or spend an afternoon romping around with the kids, it's all possible here.

Animals from all over the world

More than 250 animals live in the park, spread over spacious enclosures in a wooded environment. You will come face to face with small mammals, exotic birds, aquatic animals and farm animals. Many animals can be fed with special food that you can buy in the park. Especially for children, this is a fun and educational experience.

The park has existed for over 65 years and has become a popular destination for families from all over the region. What once began as a small initiative by founder Wilhelm Kerren has grown into a fully-fledged animal park with a special history.

Playing in the Natur- und Tierpark Brüggen

In addition to the animal park, there is a large outdoor playground in the middle of the forest. Here, children can let their imaginations run wild. They crawl aboard a ‘sunken ship’, play on the farm and explore all kinds of special play equipment.

In recent years, the playground has been further expanded. In 2022, for instance, a ‘termite playground’ was added, where children can climb, slide, balance and explore. Since 2023, there has also been a pedal tractor track and in 2024 a wooden ball track tower was added, a new favourite for many young visitors. Dogs are also welcome at Natur- und Tierpark Brüggen
