Today we go to Rhenen, to Ouwehand's Zoo where the two Giant Pandas Wu Wen and Xing Ya have been living, since April 2017. Puk loves Pandas since he playes Minecraft and now we are going to see them in real life! Extra fun is that on May 1, 2020 the Pandas had a baby, het name is Fan Xing. Since December last year you can admire the Fan Xing inside and / or outside. Puk can't wait to go!
It is very busy when we arrive at the Zoo, despite the time slot, we wait in a long line to get in. But finally we reach the entrance, the online tickets are being scanned and we go inside. We look at a signpost how to get to the animals.
We see many beautiful animals on our way to the giant pandas. The Siberian tiger, but he is far away dozing under a tree. Giraffes, a zebra and the flamingos, they are also beautiful! Puk sees them often in Blijdorp Zoo, he wants to continue because we are on a special Panda mission today.
We see a throng of people with their cameras or mobile phones at the ready, so let's go. There is Fan Xing, happy outside in the garden. We can see her very well and she is so cute! She enjoys nibbling on her bamboo and climbs the tree with it. Puk loves her!
We walk in through a beautiful gate and when we reach the top of the lodgings we first see mama Wu Wen. She is sleeping on a deck in a tree, it doesn't look very comfortable but apparently she is not bothered. ;))
We walk down and in the garden we see Fan Xing again, she is also lying on the deck in her tree. Then we look in on daddy Xing Ya. Have a guess at what he is doing, eating bamboo of course!
There is no one here at all, everyone is outside looking at Fan Xing. So we take the opportunity to quickly check if Wu Wen is awake yet. But no, she is still in a deep sleep. Then we walk out through the Panda Shop.
Down again we take an automatic picture with the Giant Panda, this photo will be send to you via email. Then we go straight through to the ice cream shop. After an hour of fun in the water playground we go to find the car.
We will definitely come back to Ouwehands Zoo, because we had a great day!
