How far in advance should I book a coach to Apenheul?

In the school trip season as early as possible, ideally a few months ahead. That way the coach you want is still available.

Can I combine Apenheul with another outing in the Veluwe?

Yes, the coach takes you from one destination to the next according to your programme.

Can we leave bags on the coach?

Yes, large bags and extra clothing can stay in the luggage hold. Do keep valuables with you, though.

Does a whole primary school fit in one coach?

A double-decker has room for 90 people. For more pupils and supervisors, we deploy several coaches.

Can you book the admission tickets for Apenheul?

Yes, if you wish; an administration fee may be charged for this. You can also buy the tickets yourself.

Coach travel to Apenheul.

Travel by coach to Apenheul in Apeldoorn. ITS-Reizen drives your group with a driver to the primate park in the Veluwe, in a coach for 55 to 66 people or a double-decker for 90. Also for a day that combines Apenheul with another outing in the area.

To the Veluwe with the whole group

Apenheul is a seasonal park, and during the season it is busy with schools and clubs. A coach keeps the day well organised: one departure time, one arrival at the park and a fixed time when everyone boards again.

Because Apeldoorn lies in the middle of an area full of forests, country estates and other attractions, it is also a good destination for a day that is more than just a park visit. The coach and driver stay available for the whole programme.

Planning around the season

Apenheul is not open all year round. We match the departure time to the opening hours of the day you choose, so the group does not arrive at a closed gate or miss an hour of the visit. In spring and before the summer holidays, the most popular school trip days are quickly booked up at coach companies, so request a quote in good time once your date is fixed. Then we can actually provide the coach or double-decker you want. The quote states the departure and return times.

A coach that matches your group size

We operate coaches for 55, 63 and 66 people and double-deckers for 90 people. One or two classes with supervisors fit well in one coach; for several classes from a primary school, the double-decker is ideal. For even larger numbers, several coaches run and set off together. Not sure which vehicle suits you? Give us the number of pupils and supervisors and we will advise you. The quote states which vehicle we will use and how many seats it has.

Combining Apenheul with the Veluwe

Around Apeldoorn lie forests, heathland and country estates. A coach makes it easy to combine Apenheul with a walk, lunch somewhere else or a second visit nearby. We plan the journey between the different parts, taking the driver's working hours into account. If the day becomes very long, we tell you in advance whether a second driver is needed or whether the programme should be a little shorter. List the activities in your request, with the times you have in mind.

Well prepared for the day

At Apenheul many monkeys roam freely, and the park asks visitors to keep bags closed and food put away. A handy tip: leave large bags and extra clothing in the coach's luggage hold and take only what you need into the park. The driver is ready at the agreed time, so everyone can collect their belongings afterwards. Let us know in advance about a lot of luggage or unusual items, and we will keep space for it. Go over the park's rules on the coach too, just before arrival, so they are fresh in everyone's mind.

An outing for clubs and companies

Apenheul is also a suitable destination for a company outing with families or a club with members of all ages. By coach everyone travels together, and after the visit the day can continue with a meal together before the group heads home. Let us know if any passengers are less steady on their feet; we will take it into account when dropping the group off. If you would like admission arranged in one go, we are happy to book it for you, possibly for an administration fee.
