🇳🇱 The Weirdest & Smallest Zoo in the Netherlands: Oliemeulen Zoo!

📍 Location: Dierenpark de Oliemeulen, Tilburg – A quirky little zoo that Dutch folks call "the strangest"! 🐾 Why It’s Unique? 🏭 Industrial History: Built in a converted oil mill (dating back to 1648!), with remnants of its past still visible. 🐒 Tiny but Mighty: Started in 1987 with just parrots, raccoons & monkeys—now home to 150+ species, mostly reptiles, spiders & small mammals! 🦇 Unexpected Stars: Bushbabies (so tiny & cute!) Armadillos (rare in EU zoos!) Big bats, owls (including Dutch snowy owls!), meerkats & lemurs Touch tanks with snakes & tarantulas (brave kids only! 🕷️) 👶 Perfect for Little Explorers (4-8 yrs) 📚 Animal Storytime: They host nightly animal tales (great after playing with supermarket animal cards!). 🆓 Free Parking: Nearby streets & residential areas. 💰 Is It Worth It? 🎟️ Discounts on Tripper, but honestly… it’s SUPER small (manage expectations!). Best for: Reptile lovers or a quick 1-2 hr visit with kids. #FamilyTravel #Netherlands #HiddenGems #ZooLife #KidsActivities 🦔✨
