Wildlands, also known as Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen, is a zoo in Emmen, the Netherlands. It opened in March 2016, replacing the Emmen Zoo.^[1][3] It was built at a cost of 200 million euros.^[4] Upon its reorganisation the zoo increased in size and animal exhibit space but reduced its collection from 300 to about 100 species.^[4]

Wildlands is a zoo with four main areas: Jungola, Serenga, Nortica and Animazia.

Jungola is jungle-themed and displays butterflies, tropical birds, large reptiles (such as Chinese alligators and pythons), ring-tailed lemurs, lar gibbons, small-clawed otters and Asian elephants. The most prominent feature of Jungola is the indoor tropical rainforest hall Rimbula, which at 18,000 m² (190,000 sq ft) is the largest zoo jungle hall in the world and the largest greenhouse in Europe.^[5] Serenga is the African savanna section and is home to species such as lion, Grant's zebras, Rothschild's giraffes, white rhinoceros and hamadryas baboons, but also Australian red-necked wallabies. Nortica is aimed at cold oceans and is home to polar bear, Californian sea lion, South American fur seal and Humboldt penguin. The final main section, Animazia, is a large indoor playground, but also home to an aquarium with species such as corals, green sea turtles and tropical fish.^[6]

Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen has at least 80 types of animals, as of 2018.
