Read full details
Terraria en Exoknaag is a terrarium-hobby and exotic small-animal expo at Expo Houten, a purpose-built exhibition hall just south of Utrecht, running September 20, 2026. Organized by VHM-events, it's one of the Netherlands' largest recurring reptile and amphibian trade fairs, covering reptiles, amphibians, spiders, insects, and rodents (knaagdieren) — plus terrariums, terrarium supplies, and specialist vendor stalls. This is a hobbyist and pet-trade expo, not an aquarium or fish show.
Doors open at 10:00am, making it a daytime family event; most visitors spend 1.5 to 3 hours browsing the halls. Expo Houten is reachable by car (10-15 minutes from Utrecht centre) or by train to Houten station followed by a short bus or taxi ride. Bring comfortable shoes and cash for vendor purchases, and expect live-animal sales alongside the gear.
