Dierenweide De Kraal is a free-to-visit community animal meadow established in 2008 in the Leidsche Rijn district of Utrecht, Netherlands. Visitors can observe sheep, goats, chickens, and a resident cat from the surrounding fenced paths at no cost. The venue also organizes occasional open afternoons when families can step inside and interact directly with the animals, making it a cherished neighborhood gathering point. Run entirely by dedicated volunteers who welcome vegetable donations and community help, De Kraal maintains an active social media presence to keep residents informed about events and animal updates. It offers a warm, accessible, and community-minded animal experience in one of Utrecht's newer residential districts.
