The Netherlands · ZOOS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 3 zoo visits worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend a full day at ARTIS, Amsterdam’s historic zoo, seeing jaguars, elephants, gorillas, giraffes, flamingos, and more. Your ticket also covers the Planetarium, Butterfly Pavilion, botanical garden, and zookeeper presentations. The zoo is wheelchair accessible, easy to reach by tram, and suited to families, couples, and curious adults.
“It was awesome, so many different animals, plants and insects to see”
Spend a full day at Rotterdam Zoo Blijdorp, a large, well-organized zoo with fast-track entry. Follow themed areas from the covered Oceanium and tropical Amazonica to the African Savanna and Asian Taman Indah. Plan for several hours of walking, indoor exhibits in poor weather, children’s play areas, food stops, and wheelchair access.
“Such a good variety of animals, really exciting for children.”
Spend up to eight hours exploring Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem, where animals live in broad eco-displays rather than small, separate enclosures. Walk through the humid Bush, Mexican-American Desert, Ocean, Safari, Rimba, and Belize-inspired Mangrove. Your ticket includes admission, skip-the-ticket-line entry, and wheelchair access. Food, drinks, and €8.50 parking cost extra.
“Nuostabus zoologijos sodas, daugybė įvairių guvūnų, akvariumas ir botanikos kupolai su paukščiais ir drugeliais buvo kažkas wow”
Pick a canal, a gallery or a road out of town.
