Jungola, Emmen

Jungola is one of the three themed worlds within Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen, located in the city of Emmen in Drenthe, Netherlands. As the park’s lush, tropical zone, Jungola immerses visitors in the sights and sounds of a Southeast Asian rainforest. The area is housed in a vast indoor jungle, making it a year-round destination regardless of the weather.

Exploring Jungola, guests wander along winding paths surrounded by dense foliage, waterfalls, and exotic plants. The highlight for many is the Rimbula River boat ride, which glides through the heart of the jungle past free-roaming animals such as elephants and monkeys. Along the way, visitors can spot tropical birds, butterflies, and reptiles, all living in carefully recreated habitats. Elevated walkways and rope bridges offer unique vantage points and a sense of adventure, while interactive exhibits provide insights into rainforest ecology and conservation.

Jungola is designed to be accessible and engaging for all ages, with plenty of opportunities for children to climb, explore, and discover. The area is open daily as part of Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen, which operates from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Whether you’re a family looking for an immersive day out or a nature enthusiast eager to experience the tropics up close, Jungola offers a vibrant, educational escape into the world of the rainforest.
