Full description

Diergaarde Blijdorp has been part of Rotterdam life since the 19th century. Today the zoo is arranged by world region, so you can walk from Asian elephants and red pandas to African savannah animals and the bird and reptile houses.

The Oceanium, an aquarium inside the zoo, takes you past sharks, rays, sea turtles and the shores of the Americas. Feeding times and talks are posted daily. The zoo is a short bus or walk from Rotterdam Centraal station, about 40 minutes from Amsterdam by train.
