Het DierenRijck

Het DierenRijck is a community-run petting zoo in Reuver, Netherlands, operated entirely by enthusiastic volunteers serving the Beesel municipality. The park houses an impressive range of animals including alpacas, fallow deer, goats, rabbits, various poultry breeds, waterfowl, and exotic birds. Visitors can feed and interact with the animals, hold young lambs and rabbits, and learn about each species through informative display boards covering origins and characteristics. Regular community events throughout the year — including Easter celebrations, summer barbecues, and Christmas festivities — make it a lively social hub. The park also supports local social programs, combining its roles as a recreational animal attraction, educational resource, and community gathering place.
