Texel Zoo

Texel Zoo, located on the scenic island of Texel in the Netherlands, offers a distinctive wildlife and garden experience at its Schorrenweg site. The zoo features an engaging array of animals including small mammals, loris birds, reptiles, and various avian species housed in naturalistic biotopes designed to mirror wild habitats. The facility actively participates in European breeding programs, notably for the colorful Keel-billed Toucan. A highlight for visitors is the birds of prey demonstration held Tuesday through Sunday at 2 PM, showcasing impressive raptors in free flight. The combination of wildlife exhibits, free-flying birds in display gardens, and a garden center setting creates a relaxed and enjoyable visit. Open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, Texel Zoo is a rewarding stop for island visitors and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
