- Visit the Retrofuture Exposition Evoluon
If you really want to change the present, you have to look ahead, into the future. Changes and innovation are set in motion by people who believe that the world can be better or different. They are the artists, architects, designers, scientists and thinkers that make tangible what others do not yet see. RetroFuture is the world's first major exhibition about the future of the past. What was strange, awkward and artificial yesterday is familiar, or even natural today.
In ten tunnels full of fiction and facts, they take you through the visions of yesterday. The idealists and the doomsayers, the scientists and the dreamers.

- Visit the Veldhoven Zoo
Zoo Veldhoven is a zoo near Eindhoven. For many years it was known as the Dutch Parrot Care Foundation. In 2013, the park was taken over by the Loomans family and renamed Zoo Veldhoven. The collection of mainly parrots was then expanded with birds of prey, flamingos, pelicans and various types of mammals, such as zebras, ring-tailed lemurs and alpacas.
Are you visiting? Then you will literally be greeted by your parrots. You can feed them with special nuts sold in the box. They also have an extensive collection of birds of prey and owls. In the accommodation you will find information about the animals, but you can also get in touch with their staff. They will be happy to tell you more about our animals.
There are children's playgrounds scattered throughout the park. Also in their indoor Bamboo Jungle, which is perfect for colder or rainy weather. While the children are playing, you can relax and enjoy something delicious on one of the terraces.
