New general manager Eindhoven Zoo welcomes public for the first time

Peter van der Schans (34), the new general manager of Eindhoven Zoo in Mierlo, opened the doors to the public for the very first time this morning.

Van der Schans, in his first few weeks at the zoo near Eindhoven, has not previously had the opportunity to experience the park with visitors. "That was very crazy. The park is completely safe according to all measures and the team has been working hard the last few days to put the final touches on the 'i'. We are completely ready and I can't wait to greet the first people and see how they enjoy this beautiful park and all the animals."
