Nice to do with kids
Rancho Alegre
Rancho Alegre has been around for over 40 years. We have had different animals since the 80s and the place is accessible to visitors and outdoor rides are organized. We love to take care of more than 20 different animals every day and we really appreciate the enthusiastic and nice reactions from visitors. It is certainly a nice place for animal lovers. Rancho Alegre is not a company and therefore we do not have fixed opening hours.
Please check our Facebook page first before visiting us.

Chichis are figurines in the shape of Caribbean women and very popular both in the Caribbean and abroad. Various Chichis can also be bought in the Dutch shops. At Serena's Art Factory you can paint your own Chichi. That's a nice souvenir: a figurine of your choice painted all by yourself! First of all, you will find yourself in a colorful garden with Chichis in all shapes and sizes. The staff then explains the idea behind the figurines and how the figurines are made.
