Voted the most beautiful Zoo in Benelux for two years in a row, Diergaarde Blijdrop, otherwise known as Rotterdam Zoo, offers you a wildlife experience like no other. You’ll get to explore all the wonders of the animal kingdom, from the African plains to the depths of the sea, in one place.

One of the highlights of Diergaarde Blijdrop is the Oceanum. Immerse yourself in the ocean as you walk through the covered path, watching sharks, stingrays and jellyfish swim past beside you and above you. Children will love the Amazonica, which is filled with colourful butterflies that will surround you in a fluttering kaleidoscope of colours. Venture into the African grasslands and get up close and personal with the crocodiles in Crocodile River from the safety of a bridge, or look a giraffe in the eye and say hello. Be sure to see the Okapis, a rare and highly endangered species of giraffe.
