Primeval garden and outdoor terrace

Naturalis buiten

In the Primeval garden, Naturalis' public backyard, you can discover how plants have evolved over millions of years. This green outdoor space is a 'living museum' that you can walk through, play in, and enjoy.

More information about rental options will follow.

Opening

The Primeval garden and outdoor terrace are expected to open in the spring of 2027.

Meet and enjoy outdoors

The primeval garden has a large outdoor terrace that is suitable for drinks, dinners, and receptions, even after the museum has closed. In case of bad weather, outdoor programs can easily be moved indoors. Lunch or a reception on the terrace overlooking the garden is a relaxing change of pace during a conference or event.

Every season is unique

The Primeval garden is beautiful 365 days a year and always changing. Every season, something grows, blooms, and changes, making every visit different. The garden features playful and surprising elements, such as a bronze dinosaur skull and sand pits where children can play freely.
