Give your Christmas tree a second life
After the holidays you can bring your Christmas tree with root ball to AquaZoo Leeuwarden and contribute to sustainability while earning a free ticket! On Friday, January 2, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the AquaZoo team will be ready to receive your tree at the parking lot.

Why turn in your Christmas tree at AquaZoo?
Instead of throwing your Christmas tree in the trash, your tree gets a second chance at the zoo. The trees are planted in existing or new park areas, like last year in the Churchill area, or used as enrichment for animals like tigers and polar bears. A wonderful way to give your tree a sustainable use!

What do you get in return?
For every tree turned in, you receive a free ticket to AquaZoo, valid until February 20, 2026. So you can enjoy a visit to the zoo and see how your Christmas tree gets a new life.
