ARTIS
ARTIS is a meeting place where we inventively bring nature closer and prompt debate about how people appreciate, understand and treat nature. From the Aquarium to the Blue Stars Reception Room, ARTIS has many locations for hosting an event. The North Pavilion has three meeting rooms, each with its own character. Give a presentation under the watchful eye of former directors or have a meeting with gilt-edged bamboo wallpaper as a backdrop. Welgelegen Residence has a special meeting room, too.
Dine in the hushed underwater world of the Aquarium or dance with a view of the California sea lions in the Seal Lion Gallery. ARTIS offers a wide range of options for a unique experience. Share stories during your event in the historic Lecture Hall, which has traditionally been a place for collecting and sharing knowledge. The North Pavilion is also suitable for conferences. You will be supporting ARTIS as a charity with your event. By doing so, you help ARTIS to encourage the wider public towards a responsible treatment of nature, both now and in future.

Restaurant Merkelbach bears the name of the city architect Ben Merkelbach and is located in the coach house of the 18th century Huize Frankendael. Our cuisine is closely linked to Slow Food. In the stylish garden, where we have our terrace, you can experience the seasons in the city.
