Apenheul
Apenheul was established in 1971 and is one of the first zoos in the world to allow monkeys to roam freely among visitors in a woodland setting. The entire park is set within a forest with natural vegetation, featuring dense trees and paths winding through the woods. Visitors can walk along soft trails, listening to the crisp chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves, immersing themselves in the activity of the monkey troops. Apenheul houses a variety of primates, ranging from small bamboo monkeys and lemurs to large gibbons, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Most species of monkeys roam freely in the park. While they have their own habitats, they often appear alongside visitor paths or among the branches. This design significantly bridges the gap between humans and animals, bringing both the joy of exploration and a deep sense of closeness to nature. The facilities are also well-developed: the park features multiple dining spots and rest areas for visitors to take a break or have a meal while exploring, and there are also shops selling souvenirs.Apeldoorn · 20.4 km from Zutphen

I highly recommend visiting the Kröller-Müller Museum, which boasts the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world, second only to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It's less crowded, allowing you to quietly immerse yourself in Van Gogh's works.
