Discover Natuurpark Lelystad, a natural oasis in Flevoland, home to wild animals and landscapes steeped in history.
The park is open every day from sunrise to sunset, allowing you to enjoy nature to the fullest. The Visitor Center is usually open from 12:00 to 16:00 (or 17:00 in summer); you can check updated details on the Het Flevo-landschap website.
Entry to the park is completely free! You only need to pay for parking if you come by car (approximately €3 or €4 per day), which makes it a very affordable option for families.
Set aside between 2 and 4 hours for your visit. If you rent a bicycle or decide to walk the longer trails to see the moose and bison, you will want plenty of time so you do not have to rush.
Created in the 1970s, this park played a key role in the breeding and reintroduction of endangered species, such as the Przewalski's horse and the European bison. It is a landmark in nature conservation in the Netherlands.
Spring is magical because of the newborn animals, and autumn is ideal for witnessing the red deer rut. I recommend going early in the morning or at dusk, when animals such as otters and moose are most active.
Yes, most of the main paths are paved and accessible for people with reduced mobility, wheelchairs, and strollers. The visitor center and the restaurant also have accessible facilities.
Make the most of your trip by visiting Batavialand, where you can see a replica of a 17th-century ship, or the aviation museum Aviodrome, both located just a short drive away.
Bring binoculars to observe the animals in their spacious enclosures, and consider renting a bicycle at the entrance to cover more ground without getting tired. Also, do not forget to download your audio guide at IAudioguia.com to enrich your tour.
